They’ve been doing essentially the same thing for years. Here’s the site from 2 years ago. Not to say that this is definitely safe, but scam sites usually don’t last this long

I've had the same Nigerian prince emailing me for the last 14 years.

In the case of the prince, he is on the run so changes emails often. Perfectly normal.

Step 3: Log in and select your account to pay from. Don’t worry, we have security covered. 🤣

Yeah, scam or not, this method of getting your account and routing information is not at all secure. I'm actually more surprised that the banks allow another site to initiate the login with a plaintext password. This defies all decent security practices.
