Do people really fall for scam like that?

First, I assume the author knows the email came from github, as the screenshot does not show this very clearly. If that's the case:

Red flag #1: email links to a variation of real domain. If you don't have information on who github-scanner.com is, it is pretty safe to assume it's a scam , just because it sounds like a real website.

GIANT Enormous Huge Red Flag #2: captcha asks you to types command in shell. I have no comment on how naive one must be to do this.
