This is atleast fine as it's just spam, I got pulled into an actual scam and it never made it to the frontpage.

But that is someone pretending to be YC which is sort of less interesting than a YC company doing something bad. Because phishers imitate legit companies all the time. Easy to get roped in and I sympathise, anyone is suseptable (today I almost clicked the phishing training email as it looked urgent and pushed the right buttons)
Looks like GH nuked it, though.
Hope they didn’t get too many folks.
That's a little creepier than the time I got an email from someone trying to push a new crypto coin to me because I contributed to OSS.
