"these scammers aren't at all good at what they're trying to do. Amateur hour at its finest (worst?)"

Freakonomics (or a similar book) has made the point that the "scammers" (think Nigerian princes) don't want to waste time dealing with 99.9% of their targets who are unlikely to fall for the scam. Wording their appeals the way they do is one of the screens they use to quickly isolate the targets that are dumb/old/etc. enough to actually put their money where the scammer can steal it. The scammers are much wiser than their wording makes them appear to be.
