alt Hacker NewsJust got a SPAM email from a Github scraper while reading this thread:
From: [email protected] Quick note – your GitHub profile Hi X,
I came across your profile on GitHub. Given you're based in the US, I thought it might be relevant to reach out.
Profile:
I run a technical team (full-stack, cloud, DevOps) that delivers for clients. We're looking to work with an engineer based in the US on client-facing coordination—discovery, requirements, alignment—while we handle delivery. If that might be relevant, I'd be glad to set up a short call.
Regards, James
If I had to guess, "James" is a North Korean looking to scam US clients, based on my experience with shady actors.
Checked my spam after seeing this thread and found the same sender/email. Subject and signature are slightly changed.
