Hello @shantia2022 and welcome to the forum 🙂

Thank you for providing information about this.  
(I’ve edited your topic title and changed the category.)

That particular domain/website has been known about for some time:

[Beware of imposters sending mails to artists about offers on behalf of Krita foundation.](https://krita-artists.org/t/beware-of-imposters-sending-mails-to-artists-about-offers-on-behalf-of-krita-foundation/27913)

[Fake promo request from spammer/scammers](https://krita-artists.org/t/fake-promo-request-from-spammer-scammers/28143)

I don’t know if there has been any further attempt to report the domain to its registrar or website hosting provider.  
Someone else may know more details about this.
