This company is not a partner of CodinGame.
We don’t share your email address to companies without your approval.
We believe they found on Github that you had an history on CodinGame and used your Github public address to contact you. We’ve contacted the company so they stop this.
I got that email too.
But it was not sent to the email address I used on CodinGame - so I can confirm that you didn’t share it .
However I use that address on github, it’s possible to get it from my commits there.
Not to be confused with the other mail, the one promising to provide personalized compilation option for your bot for just $1 per submission. It is perfectly legit and I just need your credit card number to unlock it for you. Guaranteed results!
