Like, it can’t be a real person, right? Has anyone tried following the links? I’m curious how they’re scamming people. It just seems like anyone getting the same message 5 times won’t fall for being catfished, so I don’t understand what their strategy is.
This doesn’t make any sense to me.
Why would you deliberately make your bait less appealing to filter out the fish that might wriggle off the hook before you land them?
The typo’s are in order to evade bayesian spam filters which get suspicious about certain words.
The common formats are used because those are the ones that work.
Because you’re selecting with people who lack experience with scam/critical thinking to figure out they’re scams.
I understood you the first time. My point is, it’s nonsensical.
If you’re sending emails to potential victims you want as many responses as you can get.
It’s an absurdity to suggest that typing errors would intelligently select for people more likely to be scammed.
I’m not arguing about this. Especially not with a baby account. This is an opinion informed by expert opinion on the matter, and I work in tech. If you think it’s “nonsensical” that’s on you.

The initial fishing is a low effort, wide net. What follows actually takes the investment of man hours and/or other resources. They would rather get 1 catch they can take all the way, than 500 where 495 will figure it out later and bail.
