Trade window scams happened in D2 because of someone being a dumbass...

Example: Trade a 6 slot item for a 1 slot item.

Person with 6 slot item: "Oh shit! I need to clear some space for your 1 slot item. Hang on!"

(runs to stash)

OK! Good to go!

Trade again and instead of thinking about the situation the person with the 1 slot item gladly hits accept without even looking at the item the douche with a "full inventory" put in the window.

I hung out at blizzhackers quite a bit and I can tell you there were trade scams that didn't involve the one being preyed upon doing something that dumb. I remember one that you picked the item up and sat it down so it looked exactly the same and after the trade it was not what you traded for. I would never use a scam on anyone but I did frequent that site to see how not to be a chump. That particular scam involved a packet sniffer.
