If you can spot their mistakes, then you're probably not the person they're looking to scam. With most spam mails, they tend to have obvious tell tale signs but some are done intentionally. This filters the target audience and only targets those who are less meticulous and more gullible. Of course, this may not always be the case but it has happened often enough.

That is part of it. The other side of the coin is that they do not use proper grammar / whatever in their native language and when they run it through Google translate or similar they get it back with bad grammar. As programmers say garbage in -> garbage out.

Not to mention, when these people hire others to do the site / mailing / whatever they tend to go for the cheapest people and you get what you pay for.

Scammers were top-notch once, what happened?


It seems you have a keen eye for noticing small details like that because though it is already suspicious there are still some people who fall in that kind of scheme and sadly they are the newbies. This kind of scamming technique is nothing new in the industry where phishing sites is all over the internet that is why we need to be aware and knowledgeable enough to avoid these scheme, as much as possible double-check the site you are going in. Fortunately, you can able to find flaws in this one but there are still a lot of ways to scam people, that is hard to determine whether it is legitimate or not that is why we should always be aware.

Some scammers only know how to fool people easily and how to earn instant money from committing crimes.

Most of them are just knowledgeable of experienced in a way on how to scam people but not educated enough to make constructive sentences.

It is really easy to identify a fraud schemes due to its legitimacy and it is really not that hard to determine if a certain person is a scammer or not due to those hints.

There are so many scammers that we find at this time because they want to make a profit through social media. There are also scammers who use telegram as a tool to trick someone by using a referral code and when they will take advantage of the referral code they are asked to transfer bitcoins first, this is a very real scam.

Seeing them having mistakes with their grammar, you should already have a hint and question their authenticity so that you can avoid getting scammed. Those are the lowest kind of scammers who rarely becomes successful with their schemes and only those with the lowest intelligence will be victimized by them. There are no need to fear such scammers obviously, you should fear those who can camouflage in different platforms and appear legitimate that even the long time owners or crypto enthusiasts fail to recognize. Always be responsible with your decision making, study whatever you will enter or transact with first to avoid any form of regrets.

Smart and skeptical people could notice simple mistakes like this that scammers might commit. That's the reason why we're always advised to be observant. We should know that scammers would always make way to fool people who would fall for their trap. However, we should be mindful that some scammers also have perfect grammars so we should always do our research first.

no matter how clever the fraudsters hide their falsehoods, there must be a gap that we can use as a reference not to get involved in it.  and this error in grammar is a unique case I think, because it is really a fatal error (unless it's a typo) but people who understand it will definitely know immediately if it is not prepared professionally.  That's the importance of doing analysis, starting from whitepapers, teams, social media tools, etc. so that you don't get caught in a scam.  Moreover, the market is good, scammers take advantage of the weaknesses of greedy people to make a profit.

Don't be surprised that some/most of scammers are highly organized and educated individuals who can speak/write English properly . I've noticed a pattern where people/bots probably pretend to write bad English to disguise who they really are. Lots of the "mistakes" they make in spelling look deliberate and childish sometimes.

Some website link that you will open and you will begin to wonder if the person who composed the write-up was a dropout and also many emails that you will receive and all. I was sorry for some people who will come up with airdrops and you will click on it you will see trash same thing copied from someone else work except the name.

I think they are old one scammers. I've noticed these days scammers are really smart. Based on real life experience I've heard majorities of story telling about scammers that they didn't notice single thing. They did the scamming now well and smoothly. Maybe some scammers did some minor wrong grammar or spelling but I think they do it purposely so they can the person successfully.

This is really hilarious. If you'd scam someone of their hard earned money, you should at least do it smartly. No one would fall for such lousiness. However, I think this scammer must be of one the old timers who didn't take time to improve himself.
Scammers, these days, are way to smart to commit such blunder. They'd tie all loose ends and make sure nothing seems suspicious. These days, it takes a really smart person to outsmart these scammers because they use formats that looks too real.

That's a very common giveaway to knowing whether what you're dealing with is a legitimate prize or an Indian or Asian guy trying to pull a fast one on you. But of course, these still works. You know why? Because these types of scams are catered towards people who are easy to fool, or in short, gullible cryptocurrency enthusiasts that as of late are still a good percentage of the people here in this industry.

research is very important before working on an airdrop or other project. indeed some scammers have the ability to process the language well, but some of them are just amateurs who don't understand English grammar and correctly.

Simple mistakes in some English spellings are sometimes ignored by ordinary people who only hunt for airdrops without having to do research first.
Scammers are getting smarter and have more and more updated fraud methods, so you need to be more careful.

Honestly, typo's are really hard to detect out if you are that someone who are really fast on reading up without minding those text errors unless if its really that too obvious but most of the time

these things are just been ignored and this is why majority do really fall into the pit of being scammed due on being careless but i agree into some points above that

text errors arent really a deciding factor for you to say that it is a scam.Always try to check out the relevance of the project if it turns out to be realistic or not.

An obvious sign of a scam website is that it is created so quickly and its creator will not even complete their work. They don't care about the grammar; what they care about is the money and the investors. But, I'm glad they're prone to errors. By doing so, it is easier for us to detect such projects and expose them.

Don't be surprised, however, that some scammers can communicate in English well and are highly organized. Determining the legitimacy of a project or whether it is a scam requires a lot of research and common sense. It is often hard to tell on just the basis of the bad grammar they use, or the look of their website.

As it can be understood from here, fraudsters show themselves in some way. this can be noticed by being careful and cunning. I don't think many people pay attention to this. You have made a good point. such a mistake can easily make you realize that the other person is not serious or looks like a novice job.

Correct since the profit offered is the primary thing what people are into thats why many scammers have courage to do more like this since they knew most of the people doesn't read the content of the website.

Its really easy to find this actually but many people are so lazy reading and doing a research especially on investment matters.

Scammers are dumb but the victims are the more dumb. It surprises me at times the kind of scam schemes some crypyo 7sers have been known to fall for. Not like you must be all experienced on most of the scam techniques but, being consciously aware of the fact that your private details should stay private and the best firm of trading is when your doing your trading by yourself,  the more safe you would be.

On the part of the errors, auto correct could be a jerk at times and put in the wrong suggestion  but then, it becomes a sign of a rushed website or platform and should an investor be diligent enough to spot out these little errors, it could save you some investment loses.

The target of scammers is primarily beginners with minimal English language proficiency. They don't really care about their grammar, because most of them spread information in the media that can't be responded to publicly so they don't worry that others will expose them.

Or they are not working the quality of their website and more of the quantity because they can catch more people with more low quality websites compared to only one high quality website. Plus I think that they are stupid because there are a lot of grammar tools that is free on the Internet and they did not bother using it?
