I was not in the right state of mind, my brain weirdly skimmed and auto-corrected grammar mistakes. I thought it was weird but I was just happy and yet busy to think about it further.

Yeah I mean when someone is happy and excited that they're going to get a job that pays $45 an hour then they probably won't care whether the employers know English or not.

Is English your first language? I ask because in your first point you write:

> Not too well antiquated with the job hiring process

“Antiquated” means archaic or old-fashioned. There may be other errors in your article; I didn’t read the rest.

[wyldfire]

s/antiquated/acquainted/ - probably just a spelling error that was autocorrected to the wrong word.

It sounded right when I read it aloud and I'm still recovering from the flu. English is my first language but I still make clumsy mistakes with it.

I recently reread some messages I wrote while and after I had Covid. I made mistakes like this too.

This is also a "red flag" that will probably stop being useful soon, as chatgpt etc make it easy for scammers to write things that don't have this kind of mistake.

[adammarples]

I have read that the poor spelling in scams is on purpose, it filters people out early on. Anyone who overlooks the poor spelling and grammar is more likely to continue

Just fyi, anyone can send email (a.k.a. spoofing) from @autonation.com, the harder part is correspondence from that domain - but I think you were pretty much aware of the scam at that point. Good job.
