They really didn't do anything but the text themselves, they probably just saved a real email and edited it, so youre giving them too much props.

Axis8127yActually the mistakes in the spelling are slightly purposeful the reason being someone stupid enough to not notice the mistakes will probably actually fall for the scam. It prevents them from wasting resources on someone who thinks the initial email is legit but then realize it's a scam later.
They are purposely fishing for idiots. -
spunky6677y@JoshBent Now that you said that, you're probably right.
@Axis It sounds like they're not capitalizing the most out of the market. If you apply the notion of plagiarizing, these are the students who have the right answers in front of them but choose not to write it and instead compose the most messed up shit in the hopes that they get a similarly retarded instructor to actually give 'em a good grade!
Or maybe after typing the legit thing, their consciousness kicks in and they decide to come up with this pile of shit instead.

I just received this gem this morning.
First of let me start by saying that I am against scammers and all this Nigerian prince crap.
But some of this shit is so bad that it actually pisses me off. My intelligence feels insulted.
Look at this email. These fuckers spent hours perfecting the Hotmail feel to it. The logo, design and even font are in par. As I started reading the shit, the spelling mistakes are so obvious that I wondered; do these nut suckers know that whatever email editor they use, it autocorrects for you? Are they just ignoring the recommendations? I mean they could've even used the "Did you mean" feature in Google. Or any of the freely available grammatical check sites out there.
Think of this as plagiarism. It's bad but a majority of us can appreciate a well planned out one.
I'm yet to encounter a really good scam email that almost had me click their link. There's always an obvious stand out! Is there like a copyright holder to a perfectly well put scam email?!
(And yes, you just read a rant about someone complaining that scammers aren't doing a great job)
