Better stay away on slack channels since there are so many MEW phising attempt and those newbie people must know that they should be vigilant and always look to the url of the site so that they will not scam by anybody here. But good thing you post it up for better exposure and so by this people could read and understand that this kind of bad acts are existing and how disastrous to them if they will be caught by the pishermens.

Yup, its a total scam, luckily I checked the link carefully before I did something wrong. How come there's a phishing on Slack? They suppose to prevent it not to scam people. Everyone else need to know about this!

Exactly what i was thinking. Slack was supposed to filter that out for us.
