Yet another "brilliant" scheme from a cryptobro. Naturally this caused a gold-rush for scammers who outsourced random people via the gig economy to open PRs for this yml file (example)

Actually, I only want to add one file, tea.yml, to your repository. Because I have a job that requires uploading the file and I also don't know what it is used for.

So you want me to merge a file you use on your job and you don't know what it does?

I see no issue. Merged!
