Believe me, scammers already know their book when they are good ones - if not, they will learn. Listing possibilities will rather help inexperienced players to prevent scame themselves.
For starters, I'd say this:

- If you trade, use safetrade or the tables. Isn't safety worth a few plats?
- Never drop any valuable items. Sure, you can experience a bug on a table, but they are rare now, and it's better to lose an item through a bug than through stupidity, because a bug is easier to fix.
- always right-click an item on the table and check it's full stats. Don't be fooled by sight.
- Check whether the item is laying in the middle of the apropriate player's half table.
- If you're a suspicious mind, ask the person you're trading with to run against the table, just in case they're invisible to them (this may already have been fixed).

If you didn't come up with these ideas yourself, then you're a lousy scammer - or too good to be scammed, hence the advice
