The other day I tried to create a Github account and was repeatedly told I am fraudulent. Nothing else. Try again later, it says.

This is the same thing that's happened every time I've tried to have a Microsoft account. I don't think Microsoft wants to have customers who aren't rich.

Maybe some bot signed up using your email and then did bot things on it. I've had that happen a lot over the years. My Microsoft account is still stuck in German because that's the language the bot used when creating the account (to spam X-Box apparently).

Same here with github.
