What about this email is a "shakedown"?
The part where it says they are about to start taking your money?
I got the same email, and I don't have a credit card on file with them. I wonder what they're going to do?

No, I didn't, because I quit GitHub when they started demanding mandatory SMS 2FA
They haven't demanded that of me. I have 2FA with a Yubikey and a TOTP app.
I don't ever recall giving them my phone number.
The e-mail seems clear: Someone enabled the feature in the organization. The feature was in free preview, but the free preview is ending. If they leave it enabled, it will be billed at the new rate.
It's pretty clear that "organization" is being used throughout the e-mail, so they're not referring to this person's free personal GitHub account.

Is this really the normal way to do this in the US? Does no billing info mean you’re immune? If they have your real name in Germany, they would just send it to collections and get their money if you really owe them something, even if they don’t have a way to charge it directly themselves.

I always expect a failed billing or no billing info after a trial to cancel and not be pursued (I regularly do trials with a temp card that I immediately de-activate so it cannot be billed in case I forget to cancel)

Correct. It's only for certain plans like GitHub Team and Enterprise Cloud.
The weird part about this e-mail is that they said they recently left some organizations because "the tone of the paid services" increased. So either they're still a member of one of these organizations, or GitHub mistakenly sent the e-mail to past members?
