I "failed ... fraud detection checks and [I] may not be who [I] appear to be."?
That's news to me.

This sender failed our fraud detection checks and may not be who they appear to
be. Learn about spoofing<http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSpoofing>

I've seen ex-police department 35mm cameras marked in similar ways. My first
guess was that perhaps it had started life as that or as a press camera.

My guess is it would be a small user/company who could not afford proper

professional engraving equipment/skilled engravers because they have many
hundreds of thousands of items to engrave and speed and clarity would be in
their remit and not a spidery trail like this one.

Yup. My dad worked in aircraft companies and Long Beach Naval Shipyard and had
to supply his own tools. All were marked, and in that time frame the popular
tool to do that was a vibrating pen, a little like a tattoo pen. It used a
phonograph needle.
These pens seem to have gone, along with phono needles. I do have, somewhere,
a scribe that uses a phono needle. Good item because you could always put in a
new point.
