I don’t know anyone who says “compliments of the season”, not native speakers, not English learners. And I know a lot of people.
Most of the time these scammers do admit not being native speakers, but they often lie about their native language to make it sound it more appealing. I forgot if these people told you they are foreign born.
Regardless of their language use, it’s established that these are scammers. I found more surprising that they came back but you are likely right that they forgot. They have so many people they prey upon. Or maybe because they didn’t get anything from you, they wanted to try again.
