Anyone with a half a brain, if they read the words, would pick up on the poorly worded grammar and mid-sentence capitalization. Most people should know that you don't need billing information to have an account, either.

Looks like the scammers are being more careful about spelling and grammar, though there's still a few mistakes.

Some of the phish emails I've received have such horrible writing that you wonder if it was written using Google Translate from Chinese. I bet the scammers would do a lot better if they hired native English speakers to write their E-mails.

And how come there's so few native-English speaking scammers anyway? The US, Canada, UK, Australia, etc. have their fair share of criminals after all!

My first thought: "Pffst... who would be dumb enough to fall for this?"

Second thought: "Crap! My elderly parents and their parents have Apple accounts, and they believe Nigeria has a couple thousand deposed princes. Doh!"

EDIT: Is it a coincidence that my post was preceded by a spammer who is advertising cheap wedding dresses?

EDIT 2: Cool, they 86'd it.

Online scammers, virus writers, spammers, etc. should be subject to the death penalty. A few visible instances of these vermin suffering the harshest possible punishment would make the rest of them think a little harder before doing the same.

use of "..." is not something apple would do, not formal enough.
"Billing Information" in the middle of a sentence? wrong.
"Thanks," = no thanks
"Dear customer," If I remember correctly, if its an email, they usually include your first name?

While you all are making good points about the weaknesses in the email, they would have to be a great deal worse before they really mattered. If a person doesn't know what a phishing attack is then the occasional grammar mistake isn't going to be all that alarming, IMO.
