This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.
Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I happen to have an email alias on a domain similar to one that Andrew Tate might have an email account on, so I get emails that are intended for him pretty often.
No need to believe me, I’m just amused Reddit reached back out after being ghosted months ago- whatever list they use has bad data on it, shocking.
I’m not saying I don’t believe you. I’m saying that assuming Reddit thinks you are Andrew Tate because you have andy@tate.com is quite unlikely, as is the fact that they would knowingly reach out to him in particular.
The key detail that made their intent clear is that to “to” name on the earlier correspondence had his name on it.
The email alias ended up being an almost-typosquatted version of one he would have, so I’m guessing some marketing agency stuffed it on their list of potential email addresses for him.
