Although I'm not quite sure this is 100% deliberate, I have also noticed that. This could be a way to explicitely target gullible users indeed, while possibly lowering liability in case of legal trouble (they can then always try and show that the emails are not fraudulent as they clearly appear as not genuine... don't know if that would hold, but could be an approach.)

In many cases though, one of the main things that look dodgy is the writing, and that may not be always deliberate. Many of these email scams come from countries where people doing that have a very poor command of english (or other) language.
