I recently got an email from noreply@community.forum advertising "Imperial Patents of Nobility" from FarFuture.net. Has anyone else got this? Is this for real?

I got an email concerning this, saying to contact onlooker1@farfuture.net, and send a fee to cover shipment of a Patent. However, thus far, my attempts to find and contact onlooker1@farfuture.net have simply led me to coti and to Far Future Enterprises.
FWIW, I emailed farfuture@gmail.com asking for a patent of nobility referencing this and got a reply from that address, which is the address noted on farfuture's website.

Marc was offering Patents of Nobility for folks that sent $2 to his paypal account (onlooker1), but the offer was for the Mayday Event only (May 1st only).
I think you can order cards from his website tho - or maybe they come with an order of T5?

It's "Your Ladyship" actually
My sincerest apologies, M'Lady . . . (bows).
No need for apologies - mine's a fairly uncommon name, so if you've never encountered it before, in a predominantly male domain, it is an easy mistake to make.
Oh, and thanks for adding me to the roll.

Was a choice offered for Marquis vs. Marquise/Marchioness? (In the Noble Ranks section of Library Data (N–Z), the only included feminine-specific ranks were Dame and Baroness, and the former was noted as being obsolete.) Or perhaps it’s a unisex rank in the Third Imperium, a terminological descendant of “Her Majesty, the Duke of Lancaster”?
It was just whatever Marc decided to send out. I'm guessing he probably got them all printed up with male versions of the titles, but I believe that (with some exceptions) the rank titles are gender non-specific.

Funny thing: I'd gotten the Baronet Carmel ages ago, and my wife (who also plays Traveller) was a bit jealous.
So when I got the email, I sent for 2, figuring it was a tip, and asked, "Can I get one for my wife for a Mother's Day present?" and explained the backstory.
Two envelopes in the mail :
My wife is Countess Aramanx. What was very cool was her patent card was wrapped in a piece of card stock, with a label "A Mother's Day gift from the Emperor". Very stylish.
I got the Duke of Trin. Can not complain.

@TamsinP: Do you have a preference for the Style in the Roll? I put you up as Marchioness, but I can change it.
Marchioness
Marquise
Marquesa
Marchesa
