Frankly I can't believe we've trained an entire generation of people that this is the key identifier for scam emails.

Because native English speakers never make a mistake, and all scammers are fundamentally unable to use proper grammar, right?

I mean most of the time it's the companies themselves that teach people bad habits.

MyBank: "Don't click on emails from suspicious senders! Click here for more information" { somethingweirdmybank.com } -- Actual real email from my bank.

Like, wtf. Why are you using a totally different domain.

And the companies I've worked for do this kind of crap all the time. "Important company information" { learnaboutmycompany.com } -- Like, is this a random domain someone registered. Nope, actually belongs to the place I work for when we have a well known and trusted domain.

Oh, and it's the best when the legit sites have their own spelling mistakes.

I don't see why you're surprised. It is a key identifier for scam emails. Or at least it was until recently. I don't think anyone was under the impression that scammers could never possibly learn good English.
