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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.
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.

Anyway , Nice share but this won't take any victim unless Fool and greed human.
I thought Cloud Mining scam was a thing of the past but I see here that still scammers try to scam people with this old way in today era.This was common back in 2014 when Bitcoin was just starting to get the view from a lot of persons after the price booming in November 2013 for the first time.A lot of people got stuck into cloud mining and a lot of these people lost money.I don't think in 2021 anyone is stupid enough to fall for this old trick but it is a good observation that usually scammers are non native English speakers and they have big problems with their grammar.
It is a very good observation to see even the finest and smallest detail of how those scammers have been doing their works seeing those mistakes that might lead up to conclusion that they are not really fit and legitimate to be stated. But even such concept and idea is identifiable, still many people do fall into those scam schemes which have been victimizing many people specially newbies to dive into their websites or projects because of what they offer thar serves as trap for people to get along. What is good to be true may be possible to be a trap of a scam scheme so beware and be mindful of such acts.
When it comes to typo's and error this isnt always signify that the project is scam because even legit projects does have those kind of errors so its not really that something ideal to make judgement of first glimpse.It all matters with the relevance of the project and if you do see those too good to be true offers then thats the time you woul really be making those doubts.
Typo or text errors arent solid based indicators for a scam site and with just having your own common sense you can already identify it out but sadly there are people
who do just blindly deal even if its already obvious.
I agree grammar mistakes cannot be an indicator of a scam project, because I've also found sometimes that legit projects made grammar
mistakes. Therefore, we cannot say that all projects that find grammar errors are scam projects. I prefer to see the project team profile,
how they do promotions, see the project roadmap and also don't forget to read the projects whitepaper. This will more accurately determine
whether the project is a scam or not.
Good catch OP, but do you really need to watch for grammar to know they're trying to scam you?
The first thing I've noticed was "cloud mining". This was enough, even when written in perfect English to assure me that it's a scam
Funny how these scammers always try to catch new people using old tactics. Cloud mining was a good scam in 2015.
Exactly it doesn't matter if it is a wrong or in perfect grammar you just have to know the kind of project or investment that they are promoting.The first thing I've noticed was "cloud mining". This was enough, even when written in perfect English to assure me that it's a scam

What if they are promoting a good project but english isn't their first language?
