Ugh, when will these scammers learn... If you want to scam an English person with a lame ploy, at least try to get a decent translator.
If we do not plant knowledge when young, it will give us no shade when we are old.

Why would we want them to learn better? It'd make them better scammers, and would give us less to laugh at when people are stupid enough to fall for it.
