Crime Online: Micheal Dada says I am due some money from Nigeria

No that is not a spelling mistake. I would think that anyone who is called "Michael" like me would be able to spell his name correctly. That is the first mistake.

The second one is that the "ATTN:" line quotes Daniel Imperato.

So it looks like "Micheal Dada" is a cover name and they were very sloppy with the text they copied.
