Does it literally matter? Did you ask to have this correspondence with this assumed person? You can safely ignore it if you've answered no to either of these. If it's real, it's not your job to save everybody on this earth. If it's not real then you should really just follow the simple rule of "did you ask for this communication to happen? If not, ignore."

What got my attention was the novelty of receiving a message like this through a third-party platform (not counting social media). I get plenty of actual "Nigerian prince"-type spam.
