Poorly worded or grammatically incorrect phishing scams are probably a thing of the past soon. Truly incredible possibilities here for good, though. Pretty much already know how I'm spending my weekend.

@briankrebs As I understand it, the poor wording and grammatic errors are *intentional* in those scam emails.

They help weed out the people too smart to fall for the scam.

@LouisIngenthron @briankrebs It has been a part of these types of scams even when they were done through the mail.

@LouisIngenthron @briankrebs I've heard this as well. Probably an unintended benefit to awful English!
