Topic: Bitcoin scammers have a hard time with grammar - page 4. (Read 695 times)
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.
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.
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 .

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
Spelled 4rd instead of 4th 
Scammers were top-notch once, what happened?

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. Scammers were top-notch once, what happened?

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.
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.
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.

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.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 ...

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:

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).
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.
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....

We must be careful on the internet and avoid visiting sites of dubious origin. It is obvious if the grammar is poor something is not right and even worse if these websites offer a high return for your bitcoin.
I would recommend not visiting them, it is better so we avoid being victims of scams, viruses, etc.
I usually limit myself to the use of the internet, I only visit recognized websites and do not enter any link without knowing its origin.

It seems that, one of the ways to point out a scammer or scam platforms is by watching their grammar, because I believe that if a project is truly unique, the team wouldn't want to go the line of not taking their time to check their website, grammar and so on, thus, it's obvious that those which such spellings are scammers. Also, many of these scammers are on social medias, spamming people with many offers and fake proofs and it's funny there are still people who will fall for this. In addition, there are still scammers who will take time to design a website or their fraudulent systems in other to get their targets, nevertheless the essence is for people to be educated and be careful of all these scam projects while knowing that, no genuine project or project team will ask for your funds first, in the same way, be mindful of phishing websites.
It's good that they make such mistakes, I hope more and more people will notice them and make conclusions. Usually people don't pay much attention to this when studying crypto projects.

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.
Well it is to so surprise that there are some scammers who are really bad with spelling.
If someone sends me a message anywhere and its written badly I know theres a good chance it could be a scam attempt going on. It will get deleted soon after that.
Many people who dont have a conscience and want to scam innocent people arent always the smartest individuals. Which is why they have resorted to being scammers in the 1st place.
