What's with the surge of silly scams I keep seeing?

For example:

Ok we've all seen this picture before, and nevermind it's the first two pictures when you google "Robert Redford Paul Newman" (http://images.google.com/images?q=robert%20redford%20paul%20newman&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&rlz=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi) so what makes you think anybody would be dumb enough to believe your story?



And this one:

WOW! "ACE" trays and bottles with caps that unscrew when you turn them counter clockwise!

I'm wondering what an "once" is a measure of? it must be a measure of something since it is marked from 4-36 "onces" :(

it may not be a complete 'scam' but it sure is baloney!

I didn't post this, but looks like I wasn't the only one who also had the same thought:

But yeah you're right, the ebay one isn't a "scam"... more like selling a polished turd.
