It is shown here that the extraction of quasinormal modes (QNMs) within the first Born approximation of the scattering amplitude is mathematically not well founded. Indeed, the constraints on the existence of the scattering amplitude integral lead to inequalities for the imaginary parts of the QNM frequencies. For instance, in the Schwarzschild case, $0 \leq \omega_I < \kappa$ (where $\kappa$ is the surface gravity at the horizon) invalidates the poles deduced from the first Born approximation method, namely, $\omega_n = i n \kappa$.
