That's why anti-scam articles always tell you to double-check even the smallest of items when replying to what seems like a legit company. Sometimes it's a mere change in capitalization or addition of punctuation. The name reads correctly, but you're replying to a very different group. (NOTE: These are my made-up examples.) i.e. AllAmerican.com vs All.American.com. One of these things is not like the other!
