Its fairly well documented that "Nigerian scammer emails" deliberately use poor grammar so as to filter out people in the smarter end of the target pool, since those people will never fall for their story and will just waste the scammer's time.

Which makes your English teacher's chagrin even more justified.

I don't know, some of the stuff we are getting (that is taking a massive pain in the butt time to filter) is written well. I get the feeling that bad grammar was true early on, but some of this stuff is damn near art.

Maybe the scammers are using their ill gotten gains on education. Not sure if that's a good outcome or a bad one.
