List here known types of scams in PoE

None, if youre not an imbecile that is.

Only 1 type of scam was done in PoE, the trade scam before they added the trade windows, we had to drop trade and of course there were a few(around 10 people i think) that scammed back in closed beta

Scams in PoE??

1. WTB Alterations 20:1, WTB Divine orb 13:1.
2. 5L 6L Lotteries
3. Taking advantage of people who don't use PoE zyx/ PoE wiki

1. lotteries
2. taking advantage of inexperienced player's knowledge of the market

That's it. First one is voluntary. Second one everyone should experience at least once to gain sharper awareness for the next time. People who get scammed in any other way are pretty damn stupid imo.

Confidence games are easy when the marks are people. Let robots do all your trading, send your items to "robots@ionfacenetworks.poe" your trades will become automated and always get the best price. Your payments are guaranteed, and if the non-robotic bids do not actuate, you get double your currency and the item back.

Start investing with your guild bank before this weekend! You could win an additional refurnished kitchen in the UK.

I don't LOL often but ^^ that's funny

20:1, what are you talking about? Whats the 1?

20:1 fusings/alchs/etc.

Do you even play this game? Its a pretty common trading ratio.

And FYI for 16 alts you can craft a fusing with a few mouse clicks, which is why 20:1 is a scam. Even if I had 20000 alts I would craft them all into fusings before I'd give someone a 20:1 rate on them.

Map fee scam.

Chaining maps lvl 78 in Invasion, without the need to roll them (15+ Chaos per map) and no worry about maps drops. I'm happy to pay 2 Chaos for that.
