1. Why would scammers care? Presumably it's a numbers game for them, and most job applicants are genuine, so why would they bother screening out people with bad grammar/spelling?

2. If you're a job applicant, wouldn't having obvious typos/grammar issues make you look less professional? Also, "bad spelling/grammar = scam" is a heuristic that people use as well, so you're effectively banking on the fact that the employer is desperate enough for a rockstar engineer that they'll interview anyone who applies.

yeah you misread that completely, but my comment was based on understanding how scammers already operate

the scammers use mispellings in their own job postings and communications, to attract people that would ignore the mispellings, because those people would ignore many other things too
