Why do scams trojan horses ect always use ťĥéşé țýpěś õf şpéćîãľ ļéťťëřš doesn’t that just make the scam look obvious?

Security systems look for phrases and words in email to check if it’s ok to deliver them.
The it tech puts keywords like “Hello, I am a Nigerian Prince l” into the system, so any emails with “Hello I am a Nigerian Prince” are not allowed to be put in the mailbox.
If the scammer instead puts ” Hellø I am a Nïgerïan Prïnce” the computer doesn’t match it against the ‘dont deliver email saying I am a Nigerian Prince’, because it doesn’t match the original phrase.
Better systems can block this sort of trick, but not all companies do that, especially for home users
