I almost missed it because the message is in the graphic https://nxdomain.no/~peter/wankstortion/20260720_wankstortion_posing_as_me%40skapet.bsdly.net_peter%40bsdly.net.png and with mail client in dark mode the diversion text was displayed black on dark grey.
Fun fact: last hop before reaching here was a antispamcloud.com host
