My office has dodged a lot of phishing emails because the bots are never as abrupt, poorly composed, and misspelled as emails from the actual bosses

    Bruh. I immediately noticed so many scams back in the day simply because those were poorly composed with grammar errors.

    Kinda fits into the whole image of who’d be doing scams anyway tho - some barely literate shits looking for “easy money”.

    That's by design. They weed out the people that are perceptive enough to not fall for the scam instantly, so everyone that follows up is guaranteed to be as dumb as a brick.

    Makes sense and seems to be true for many cases.

    I’d add tho that I unfortunately met some folks in my life that I’d like to unmeet, and from what I’ve perceived - people doing scams are also far from being sharpest tools in the shed.

    Not to mention that back when scam calls on the phone were still quite common - wasting time of those guys was one of the funniest things to do. Like, at some point that person should’ve realised I’m shitting them, just have to make them move off the script and watch them come up with bullshit that truly reflects that person’s stupidity.
