Body

I want to know if this is a spam email. I see that other people online got a similar email claiming to be github. I wanted to know if this is really github. Here is the body of the email which came from githubinc+autoreply@talent.icims.com

Here is the body of the email from the email address above that claims to be github:
"Please review and sign our NDA prior to your upcoming interview. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
NDA Agreement:
Thank you,
JR Thompson

Is your interview for a position with GItHub Inc?

i dont have an interview scheduled. i just got this email asking me to sign and nda for an interview and it seems to be from github. im just wondering if it is a legitimate email. I was hoping someone could tell me if they got the same email from the same email address and found out it was legitimate.

If you right click on the NDA link, and copy the address, does the web url look legitimate of suspicious (pls don’t open the address, just examine it)?

Another possibility is someone applying for a position at GitHub may have used your email address by accident.
