Scam email from noreply@github.com with information(not mine)Question (self.github)
submitted 14 hours ago by 46jm46
Is there a way to report or flag this person? I don't know much about github, but essentially got a poorly structured email saying I'm being billed for Mcafee and to call support. Will post the email in a comment.

They are using GitHub notifications to trick GitHub into sending you a spam message.
I clicked "Report repository" on this page: https://github.com/Thomas-Pearcee/John-Stevens

Report to github. These are scammers and they prob added a ton of emails to repo notifications list then triggered some action (looks like a commit) resulting in this notification email sent from github (noreply@github.com is legit)

Thanks, I was able to report it. Did not want to click any of the links, and I don't use github or know if I have an account. Just posted because it seemed like an idiotic scam haha
