    1. if your trying to scam someone shouldnt you atleast put enough effort into it where the grammar is correct....i dont think BoA would have misspelled words in a email.

    The sad thing is, yes. There are so many people in the world that won't notice the little details, and go for it..

    There probably are some people out there who fall for it then wonder why all their money is gone a week down the road. Sad what people will do to others just to get some money.

    My grandmother who is 94 years old gets random calls she tells us about where people are asking for her account number and shit saying they are from the bank and that there has been some weird issue with her account. LOL she said she tells them to stop calling her and hangs up.

    Why would you call her a bitch? How do you know she isn't the one who sent the email. In all likelihood, she probably clicked on a phishing link, which enabled the scammer to send out bulk emails to everyone in her contact list.
