Possibly TryNinja is working on something on his telegram bot which may have prompted the malfunction of the bot.

I guess that there is either a misplaced username or URL or userID in place of someone with the exact merit score, so inside of giving the notification to the user only, the bug might have included your ID or username to the notification hence you got notified too.

Previous I’ve only noticed double notifications which he fixed. So this is getting fixed in no time.
