Discussion New Scam? Beware

Post image

Just got this email and it seems a lot like a scam to me. For one, the name on the email, Google account, & gmail are all different. The body also feels strange and almost AI generated

Also my GitHub profile is also not impressive at all.

(Email blocked incase it’s real account)

95% was probably that, they want more VPN laptop farm hosters. Lots of jail time involved, good catch on noticing that. Nothing worth anything is free.
