    And the point I’m making is that they’re doing it to filter out people who know and pay attention. Real simple stuff.

      Then I don’t think that would be the most effective way because most people aren’t paying that much attention, independently of knowledge. What would tip me off to it being a scam would be other parts of the email.

        You, maybe, someone else, maybe not.

        They put in a lot of flags like that, of varying obviousness, to filter out as many people as possible who would be savvy enough to not fall for the scam overall. It’s not just one clue, it never is.
