Reporting scam emails

[SmakoszJan]

I have received an email claiming I've been invited to private beta tests. As far as my research went, no such initiative is happening and all the links in the email look very fishy, so I'm fairly certain it's a scam. Should I report it somewhere? If so, where?

Interesting, we don't even have any email. Do you mind sharing the full email with the sender information?
Similarly, we don't have exclusive testing groups etc. For the record, we do everything in public and share our updates in GitHub or in our Slack workspace first.

The email was sent to me today, from quentin@cadence.ci

To Michał my last name, Major Rust Contributor (ruffle, geogebra-types, derive_recursive)

Dear Michał my last name,

As major Rust contributor we would like to thank you for all the work you have done so far, without which our adventure would have not been possible.

Also, you certainly encountered challenging issues with CI/CD processes among all the projects you have contributed to.

Lack of expressiveness of YAML-programmed systems, difficulty to handle complex chains of actions, absence of workload optimization, brings to frustrating experience for developers and undue loss of time for everyone.

At Cadence.CI (originally a link directing to this, whatever this is, I haven't checked and don't intend to: https://g6o1x.r.ag.d.sendibm3.com/mk/cl/f/sh/SMK1E8tHeFuBlb5dtuuAmZ1nsZ6v/AY4WdIVbOgl0) we’ve built a solution to tackle exactly that. We’re inviting you to join our first round of Private Beta before the 15th of May, in exchange for your feedback.

To participate, just reply to this email, and I’ll get you set up.

Waiting for your response, I wish you a pleasant day,
Quentin Vignaud
CTO Cadence CI
4 rue Voltaire, 44 000 Nantes, France - European Union

It was followed by "social media links" (icons) with fishy targets, like in case of the "Cadence.CI" link. My full name is available via GitHub, but I chose to redact it in the contents. The point is: all information about me in the email is fully available on my GitHub profile.

I suppose they could also impersonate this Cadence but they don't do CI. This project is the closest thing to what I found.

The address attached is a bank building, btw.

Sorry, this does look like phishing. While their name is similar, it's also different enough to not go after them. The domain seems to be from Ivory Coast, so there's not much we can do there either. Let's keep this issue for visibility but otherwise I'm closing it.
