You would think they would learn to spell or get an English speaker to compose their important emails.

This single fact baffles me. Imagine the carnage these scammers would create if they hired a proper English speaking person to compose their emails. Multiple spelling errors is the single biggest giveaway to a scam email.

Good spelling makes their emails more likely to get filtered out.
