🔔 Heads-up: There is currently a #phishing campaign targeting #Codeberg users.
If you receive a notification that insults you and your project for poor code quality, combined with an offer to "fix" the problems when you send some money, please ignore and report to us: Mention "@moderation" in response to the issue or forward the email to [email protected].
We are trying to stay ahead of the noise before the notifications are sent.
If you receive in-app notifications which lead to 404 pages or threads that don't contain new messages, it is also likely that they have been cleaned up.
Unfortunately, it is currently very difficult to also remove the notifications when deleting spam users.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hint: If "security researchers" or "computer experts" link to an http-only website, you can almost always consider it a scam.
EDIT FOR CLARITY: The spammer is impersonating a researcher to smear them.
Alt text continued: So, here's the deal. I'll offer you a tutoring session for $50. We can go over your code, and I'll show you how to fix those security vulnerabilities and write some decent code. You can PayPal me at https paypal me/darkmage.
Check out my resume at http://notevildojo.com/resume.pdf. I'm the real deal, esensar. Let me help you take your coding skills to the next level.
Kind Regards,

@Codeberg Insulting my code and asking money to fix it must be the most stupid scamming scheme on the planet.🤣 🤦♀️
Anyway thanks for the warning.
@Codeberg We have received one of these issues but it was deleted, likely by your moderation team.
We believe that this _has_ to be a bot or something. As @be said, it seemed that they were subject to another impersonation attempt on GitHub. Also, the latest @gperson saw (hi again) was on your CI feedback repo which...doesn't contain any code.
