    In serious, scammers typically make it fake as shit since the people most likely to be scammed are going to overlook it anyways.

      I have read that scammers try to make the scams look fake and crappy because they don’t want to entice any actually clever people - that’s more trouble than it’s worth. These are simple.scams for simple people.
