Question

Body

I received a DMCA takedown notice from [email protected] for a repository that I forked from someone else which contains programming interviews questions. I wonder if the sender of email is really github support or is it a phishing or a spam? In fact the domain githubsupport.com does not exist. Also, the email contains many links to click on. In the email it is written that I should reply to it in 1 business day otherwise the repository will be disabled. However, I already deleted the repository myself since it was not important to me. I wonder if the email is genuine, and will it cause a problem to my github account if I do not reply to it given that I already deleted the repository myself?

Hi @thesaturdayafternoon,

Official emails from GitHub will only come from [email protected].

If you would like to report this as phishing, the best route to get this to the proper GitHub team is to use our abuse reporting tools. Here's all the info:

• Reporting abuse or spam
• Reporting a user
• Reporting an issue or pull request
• Reporting a comment

You can report behavior and content that violates community guidelines and terms. We are going to close this post, but for this and any future incidents, please refer to the links above.

Thank you!
