The respective scammer has been banned from GitHub. Thank you @github for the very quick response and others who have reported the user! 👍

Same. Found it this morning. They were quick to act indeed.

@janriemer @GitHub @github If you stop using #GitHub you can safely drop all emails from their platform, completely solving this issue! Additionally, you'd no longer be supporting a proprietary platform that is actively trying to harm its userbase through "AI" and by pushing more and more proprietary aspects into the developers' pipelines.

There's so many benefits to just not use GitHub!

@darth There is "block" and there is "report" in the GitHub UI.

When you block, it means you won't get any meesages anymore from this user.

You need to report, so that GitHub get's notified.

Thank you. 🙏

@darth I've edited my message:

Instead of "block" I now use the word "ban" to avoid confusion.

Sorry for the confusion.

@darth I think you just wont get any new notifications.

Existing notifications/messages stay visible. 🤷
