The Power of Incompetence

I received an email inviting me to check my monthly PayPal statement.  PayPal does not issue monthly statements.   Out of curiosity, I clicked the link.  The URL was not to PayPal,  of course.   I was expecting something that looked like PayPal.   But it was not a valid URI!  

I have a theory that many of these criminals are technically ignorant.   They buy (or steal) scamming emails from other criminals,  but lack the basic intelligence to verify that these scams will work!
