The big giveaway for me - proton.me, one the protonmail anonmizers. I am half-tempted to reach out and see about wasting their time. Years ago, when I was forward deployed, a group of nerds would tinker around with scammers. Their www.419eater.com exploits made it to our bulletin board. One SPC got pretty darned good at it, then he reployed back home.

I don’t have the “.me” though, mine is protonmail.com My son has a proton.me address
