Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
we got an email with subject "Connections Program Membership Requirement" and an url https://mathworks.getfeedback.com/r/E8GyAvGm?PartnerAgreementID=a2531000001owJj&%20ContactID=003i000000SakTe. There we are wanted to enter our credentials. The design is completely different from your Mathworks web site, therefore, we wonder, whether this is a phishing attack.
Please let us know, whether this is a real site or a phishing attack. Thank you very much in advance.
We are interested in continuing the Connections Program.
Best regards
Stefan Geissler

Even if sometimes staff members look on this forum and post from time to time, the help on this forum is mostly provided by people who are doing this as a volunteer. You can contact Mathworks support directly with the Contact Us button at the top of the page. Personally I wouldn't enter my credentials for my Mathworks account on any other domain than mathworks.com.
Ironically, this post was flagged by the spam filter.

GetFeedback Inc. was accquired by SurveryMonkey. Both are legit companies providing online survery services.
However, someone could use their services to do illegal business. You need to find out your source.
However, I did a search and there is a Mathworks Connections Program
