That by itself should have been the first red flag. I also heard a lot of these stories recently. I think this might be one of the good use cases of GitHub Codespaces.

Not for someone who get 10-20 such requests a year. None till date were such scams.

That's not true, I'm quite sure most repos on GitHub have neither many stars, nor forks, nor multiple contributors.

This is just a negative filter to see as a warning sign. It is like walking into a dark alley at night.

Nothing might happen but you should be on the alert.
