 My favorite is when they forget to remove the placeholder brackets.

Hello, [user]

Or like "Matt Damon" here:

 That placeholder gives us a good guess on the age of those scammers lol

 It's a template. I see stuff like this all the time in email auto-responders, where the person forgets to add the tag that automatically inserts the recipient's name to the mass mailing, and that "very personal-sounding" guerrilla marketing email falls flat on its face.

 Ok, fair enough. Then the template is old πŸ˜„

 Just a heads-up, your pfp is not visible. void.cat users experienced a rugging when their site got nuked about a month ago. All the avatars of those who used them are broken. 

If it still displays on your client, it is likely just being retained in cache.

I noticed their site is back up, but due to the event, I would personally not choose to use them moving forward.

Here is the direct link to your PFP. It is broken:
