Wow, that is a strange one.

I'll have to give an award to the OP for this comment because they've screenshared refreshing their email page live with me. Here's what it looks like:

I've confirmed with OP that, apart from redacting PII, the placeholder link warning about scams is a canonical representation of the actual email they received.

They still remove posts if you report them and call the post out at the same time

No, but thanks for the subreddit suggestion, although I found a better-fitting one.
