Bitcoin scammers have a hard time with grammar

[zanezane]

To be fair if we were to use quality of grammar as our measure we could safely ignore 90% of the posts on Bitcointalk ... 🙂

Not everyone has English as their first language though, I assume that you are just being sarcastic but come on, cut those people some slack because at the very least they are trying their best. Regarding this website, this is the best red flag that anyone could see when they are unsure if that website is a dubious one. It is not grammar that the scammer was having a hard time, it was probably a mistype that was not noticed because of how miniscule it is.

Scam generally is for lazy people who can never be successful through the legitimate route, imagine an illiterate who could not differentiate between '3rd' and '4th' trying to reap where he/she never sowed....

I think the reason for that is that the scammers have quite a low "success rate" (most people don't buy it), so it doesn't make sense to putt effort into making it look very legit. Having proper English on one's website is very important because it shows that the owners are taking their project seriously, unlike those who just want to scam others. That being said, while bad grammar can raise reasonable suspicions, sometimes scammers can have everything done exceptionally well if they intend to get tons of money from their victims. Moreover, there are many good people who don't speak English well because it's not their first language, so judging on the basis of grammar is problematic.

Typos, bad spelling, poor grammar, offering fantastic earning, etc already big red flags to summarize as a scam site.

Yes, that's the point. Let's not forget that a big part of the target is not native (like me ) so this nd/rd/st/th mistakes may go unnoticed in many cases. On the other hand, this does not necessarily mean this is a scam: it could just be a slip when copy-pasting to update the number of payments, that could happen to anyone.

In order to assess whether a project may be a scam or not, there are many red flags that have to be taken into account, as Jawhead999 said. This grammar/spelling mistake, alone, could be a tree that doesn't let you see the forest so you end prejudging a legit project (not this case, of course).

Yes, most of the scammers do have bad grammar, because most of them have low level of intelligence and self-confidence. Whoever has been a scam victim, should know how easy it is to avoid them. I also observe their abuse of emojis. On the other hand, we have the smart scammers, who fraud the people indirectly or even directly. An example of them is a person that will make a ponzi scheme coin.

Another better example is that guy:

anyone can make a typo when writing but seriously that looks non prof when make a typo in a finish product ,

 that only shows that they didnt take time or effort to re read what they have write but lets not try to dont judge them easily that they are a scammer unless you have gathered more proofs that they are really a scammer because thats rude .

 not all scammers are bright and scammers are every where on any country  .

Indeed I was and I agree for a lot of people English is not their first language and we can make allowances, equally you see plenty of posts where English is pretty clearly the first language and the spelling and grammar is truly atrocious!

I was mainly amused by the irony of the OP complaining about a scammer’s grammar here where the average is so low ...

[Renampun]

another stupid scammer lol...
many scammers today are not careful about creating advertisements for their spoofed products. even though currently there is a lot of software to perfect grammar, they may not be able to write BTCitcoin correctly.

[FlightyPouch]

Most of them don't really care about checking their grammar, all they care about is that they should be able to attract investors and take their money  and start another scam. I hope those investors that will venture their money into investing in new projects would check the credibility of the project and even small things like these could point out if it is a legit project or not.

Spelled 4rd instead of 4th 

Scammers were top-notch once, what happened?
-snip-

I have seen worse. The thing is, they don't do proof reading. They make build a website real quick. Not one but 10 to 20 of those sites of different themes/service/features at once and then tries to scam unsuspecting users. As far as I know people even sell those programming  codes and designs so that others can also set up their own scam websites.
If you visit a website, find it fishy and see a lot of language errors, then either they aren't native speaker of those site or they are bland scammers.
Those "top notch" scammers that you are talking about still exists. Probably earning peoples trust before screwing them up.

Typos are understandable and acceptable to some degree. But spelling 4rd instead of 4th indicates that the person does not have a basic understanding of the language.
Even tho the person is not an English speaker, it immediately raises red flags with that kind of spelling error

Yeah they are, as they’re very poor in English language. I have noticed scammers doing their own thing via email, Telegram, social media comments, etc., but I never fell for their tactics anymore despite having a decent or fluent in English grammar. Experience is always the best teacher, and I finally know what kind of message templates are they doing to scam people. They even create fake FB pages of different names and brands (including mine) just to mislead and scam people. The problem is that these scammers can’t be stopped. It is we who should adjust in dealing with these scammers.

That kind of websites or application created by the scammers are made only by a programmer or only a few groups of people so they created this with some errors, including grammatical error because they didn't acquire grammarian for the website that they are creating, they are the ones who only create the website so it ends up like that. To identify also whether it is a fake website then you have to check it to its official website.

The moment you received an email, text message, and direct message from any of your social media accounts saying that you won a raffle giveaway just blocked them, and don't waste your time entertaining people like them. People like him seem to be low-level scammers, top-notch scammers are lurking over the internet spreading fake giveaways and impersonating someone to sounds convincing.

Doing basic grammar is not that difficult to do, because there are free grammar tools to use, the reason for this is that the scammers are more on quantity over quality. How can you identify if it is an official website if it is the only website? That's pretty confusing.

[capcaypro]

the name of evil will not always be profitable. there are so many sites like this and are not half-hearted with the lure of a very extraordinary reward. but if we look at the start of the site and the manner and language they are very below average and this I think they made it hastily because I think this one scammer did not only make one scam website but there are several.
things like this are very disturbing because there are so many and cannot be eradicated because it is like a fungus that continues to grow.
I feel sorry because there are so many people, especially those who are just starting out and laymen in forums like this, who get caught up in their tricks.

[jahepahit]

these are hyip that are purely made to scam when they have enough profit. anyone that intends to participate in this types should be smart enough or be ready to lose money this is not advisable to invite into. their grammer  is actually one of the indicator to show that they dont have good intentions, but there is more to it.  apart from the grammer just make sure you know their tricks and the patterns so that you wont fall for it when grammer is well written. this is indeed the most important.

[cheezcarls]

These scammers usually targeting newbies and beginners, because they know despite the bad grammar, the victims usually are paying attention to the numbers. That’s what they are attracted more than the grammar.

It’s just that these newbies and beginners who got scammed has lack of common sense these days. They immediately jumped in without questioning, no matter what method these scammers are using such as email, social media, messenger, etc.

Just saw this thread today, and if nothing else, this will give you at least a good laugh for the day. 

Seems the given scammer was really poor in grammar. Even some of us, who are not native English speakers learned something from school and know such correct usage for st, rd, th in numbers. But anyway, even those projects with website contents with poor english grammar or with misspelled words, it somehow turns off serious investors. Because if they are authentic project, they will make sure their content is globally acceptable.

This is why I don't follow anyone in crypto especially in terms of trading in social media platforms.
Impersonation are quite common than people think.
One day, I was looking for just a news for crypto related and the name of the page is Crypto News then I saw a comment that they're doing their giveaway and just send a BTC in the provided address. I checked the page that it has no followers unlike the original page.
It took me 3 reports before it got taken down. Social media platform teams don't give a single crap to scams these days that much.
