replyFrom: james@techglobal.website Brief note – Following up on your GitHub work
Hi ,
I came across your profile on GitHub. Given you're based in the US, I thought it might be relevant to reach out.
Profile:
I run a technical team (full-stack, cloud, DevOps) that delivers for clients. We're looking to work with an engineer based in the US on client-facing coordination—discovery, requirements, alignment—while we handle delivery. If that might be relevant, I'd be glad to set up a short call.
Best, James
I'm curious, what leads you to North Korean from that email? Is it that there's an anonymous team, which has a US "front"?
replyYes, having a US "front" is how North Koreans pass the identity verifications at US companies looking for remote workers. I have personally spoken with numerous such individuals. Think about it, if you were a legitimite organization attempting to gain US presence would your first action be to SPAM individuals on Github or to register a business and submit a job post on LinkedIn?
