You will work more in the future with this text. At this time, move on to the Channels bookmark (Window>Channels) and make a copy of any of the channels available (dragging the channel to the new blank document icon). You'll need this copy later when we create scratches. Next return to the Layers bookmark (Window>Layers) and choose the layer with the signature. Go to Blending Options and add Inner Glow, Bevel and Emboss with the following settings:

Rasterize layer (Layer>Rasterize>Type). After which it is time to move on to the creation of a mask. Return to the Channels bookmark and choose copy channel that was created earlier. Next you need to create a brush for drawing holes in the letters. Choose a round brush with a radius of 5. Move next to the bookmark for Brushes (Windows/Brushes), setting Hardness = 100%, Spacing = 550%, in the section Shape Dynamics set Size Jitter = 100%, in the section known as Scattering let's set Scatter = 100%, and our hole-making brush is ready.

You see, we ended up with scratched letters.

All that remains is to select the appropriate background and set the mode to mix the layer with the signature (so that there aren't any white gaps, I used Linear Burn). As a result, I got the following signature:
