Lmfao, well, English isn't a parameter for anyone's intelligence but it clearly shows how lack of education can reveal a lot about us Grin

scammers don't even know their wrong mistakes make them losers, and make others go away from them Grin

they aren't even bothered to put some efforts on the language while spending so much money creating fake domains. Tongue

hopefully, they stay like that so that we can stay protected xD

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.

reading and researching more deeply about the project and its aims and objectives is very important. the sentence that is conveyed will indicate that the project is real or not.
many scammers are only concerned with false promises of greater income regardless of the quality of the project being built.

Reading carefully will provide many benefits and prevent the fake investment that is currently widely scattered.

Although their grammar is really bad, they still somehow manage to swindle some people. People should be really careful about these scammers. Their number is increasing as time goes on. Maybe it's not easy sometimes to distinguish who is a fraud and who isn't. But they shouldn't trust everyone, especially people who are not known commonly.

Grammar is not the only factor by which it is possible to identify such people, but if it catches the eye, it becomes clear what was being done on the knee somewhere, who knows where. This is good because a lot of people will be able to avoid wasting money and time by dealing with it. But the more comprehensive analysis we subject projects, the more chances we will be able to avoid problems. Grammar is what lies on the surface.

But it one of the big factor to determine if the project is made professionally although it is subjective as usual.

Just to have a quicker hint, you'll get to have the idea that you're investing to the wrong thing that's made by the scammers. Don't be deceived and only deposit to the legitimate exchanges or projects.

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?

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.

Simple mistakes in some English spellings are sometimes ignored by ordinary people who only hunt for airdrops without having to do research first.

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.

Don't be surprised that some/most of scammers are highly organized and educated individuals who can speak/write English properly .

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello everybody. In any case, whether there are grammatical errors or not, on the crypto market, most of what is offered is a scam . Even giving money to the most rechecked project, you run the risk of not only not earning, but also not returning your own money at all. Unfortunately, this is typical of the crypto market, but with the coming experience, it is possible to identify obvious scammers, even without grammatical errors. Just be careful when choosing investment projects.

This can be figured out easily but there are also scammers that corrects it and hire a grammarian to make them look professional.

But upon looking at that there's already flaws on grammar, that's already a sign that they're not even professional even for the grammar.

It is best not to let your guard down regardless, there are too many scammers these days on the internet, some with a good command of English, some other without. I think you maybe have just come across the ones with a flaw in their grammar. Some scammers are so very convincing that they have swindled companies and not just individuals from their hard earned money.

one more fake project character to use as a reference: bad grammar. this can be an important indicator to check besides the files in the whitepaper, team, roadmap, etc. it is quite strange, where a serious project does not use professional services in compiling important files. we have to be careful and don't join any project carelessly without checking it.

I have encountered a few scammers, the syntax in their sentences is pretty bad and misspelled. That made me awake and contacted my friends to find out the truth.
I noticed scammers coming from countries where English is not the primary language.

Many of these diforums use the wrong spelling, for example, I personally really like to write misspellings and have less letters,
sometimes with the perfect web there are also many scammers in this crypto world,

The phishing method used by the scammer is very easy for veterans to guess, but it will be a successful trap if a beginner is interested in the fake giveaway. The need to be vigilant and find out before taking action is very necessary. Apart from phishing methods there are also many other methods. I often get private messages via telegram or via email notifying me about the giveaway I won.

Currently no one will give away Bitcoin for nothing without a clear job. Don't expect anything without doing the job a real job.

clarify your statement, that there is no person who is like an angel who wants to give bitcoin for free, obviously it can be said is a trap that can make us tempted by what is done. the most important thing is the actual effort we do that will determine we can get what we want, including bitcoin. without any effort other than asking for help you may not get it for free.

I agree that many phishing methods have been used and are well known, making it easier to anticipate. but many are deceived because they are usually beginners who do not understand that it is a trap set up to deceive themselves. The role of social media is huge and the possibility for many to be deceived is certain. telegrams and e-mails played a very active role in the deviation.

This is why I don't follow anyone in crypto especially in terms of trading in social media platforms.
Impersonation are quite common than people think.
One day, I was looking for just a news for crypto related and the name of the page is Crypto News then I saw a comment that they're doing their giveaway and just send a BTC in the provided address. I checked the page that it has no followers unlike the original page.
It took me 3 reports before it got taken down. Social media platform teams don't give a single crap to scams these days that much.

Well that act is normal since they can lure people for copying the real page so we must really careful about this, but I believe the veterans here will not fall from this scam methods so those newbies should verify always to the legit source to know if something like giveaway posted is legit or not.

Its good you take an action about this and I urge more people to do the same since more reports will help to drive out those scammers.

These scammers usually targeting newbies and beginners, because they know despite the bad grammar, the victims usually are paying attention to the numbers. That’s what they are attracted more than the grammar.

It’s just that these newbies and beginners who got scammed has lack of common sense these days. They immediately jumped in without questioning, no matter what method these scammers are using such as email, social media, messenger, etc.

Just saw this thread today, and if nothing else, this will give you at least a good laugh for the day. Grin

Seems the given scammer was really poor in grammar. Even some of us, who are not native English speakers learned something from school and know such correct usage for st, rd, th in numbers. But anyway, even those projects with website contents with poor english grammar or with misspelled words, it somehow turns off serious investors. Because if they are authentic project, they will make sure their content is globally acceptable.

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.

Doing basic grammar is not that difficult to do, because there are free grammar tools to use, the reason for this is that the scammers are more on quantity over quality. How can you identify if it is an official website if it is the only website? That's pretty confusing.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Yes, that's the point. Let's not forget that a big part of the target is not native (like me Roll Eyes

) 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.

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.

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.

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.

It is not a good rule of thumb to identify scammers, there are other scams that have a really good grammar but they are still fishy. In the case of this thread, this one is a brain dead scammer that does not have an ounce of proof reading skills before doing a scam. Hopefully no one got duped by this retard scammer. Regarding rule of thumb, there is an inconsistency from person to person. My one rule is that if a service or scheme gets your heart pumping then there is a high chance that it is a scam.

Perhaps it’s not their first language, and most of them do not bother proofreading or checking the things they put out in the open. They only want people’s money, and care least about what people says on their work because that’s not the end goal. Even though the signs are already telling and are laid bare in the open like this one, people are still getting scammed, and that still amuses me to this day. That’s why no matter how bad their websites, content, or whatever paraphernalia are, at the end of the day it still works due to some people’s greed.

Exactly, right? I mean, that is what I commonly notice on some scams or fake giveaways. I have encountered several text messages saying that I won a huge amount so I should give some details to claim it. But, having a bit of experience in journalism, I notice the errors in grammar as well as punctuation. And I just say to myself, this is nothing but a fake one.

However, we should not just base our judgement on grammars. There are surely scams that are well written, no grammar and punctuation errors that you wouldn't even realize it's a fraud. That's why it's also important to always think before we click.

As long as they can copy another project's whitepaper and supply fake team members, they can easily fool newbie investors with such scheme. This, however, is a weak and laughable attempt of scamming investors. Offering 7% daily profit for a lifetime with a required minimum deposit are such signs of a ponzi-scheme which is 100% a scam.
