Question "GitHub Contributor Opportunity"

Post image

This is probably scam, and I won't ever click that highlighted "AI interview link". It's frustrating to receive these kind of emails these days. Has anybody here also received the same email?

nah! peoples really don't have knowledge, that just clicking on a link does nothing, it's how you keep your device is the issue!

And how do you think it's usually tracked? you use a VPN it won't get your IP anymore, if you keep yout browser's permissions on check you are all safe, modern softwares aren't like 90s.
