If it's profitable, it's a scam. This main guideline shall lead you. However some might still consider risking accepting a profitable-looking offer. To them, let me show how a very new scam works. At first let's see a scam contract: 
Like the standard margin trading scam, the point is to make you buy something overpriced. Let's wonder who put that 3 items on the market for 118M? Some hint:
Of course for the scam to work, the contract must fail. For that, this particular one uses an exploit:
This scam can work without exploit, and probably was done without exploit until the scammer found the bugged item. The trick is that after you bought his overpriced items, he deletes the contract. Of course it needs him to be online and at the keyboard. He can increase his response time by adding trash items to the contract that waste your time while you pick them all. Finally he can gain more time by making you do an extra pair of jumps for the trash. I mean you buy the trash on Jita, buy the expensive item last, want to complete the contract fast, just to recognize that you don't have the trash. Where it is?
This scam is so well thought that I fell for it even without the exploit. He would have time to delete it while I pick up my trash. Luckily my overall business expertise saved me from serious losses: I looked around where else could I get items, so all I lost was the time while my Dodixie interceptor reached Jita with 3 items:
Being so happy that I found a new scam and did not even lost money on it, I started writing my blog, thinking about it and Alt-tabbing casually to update orders. Never update orders casually like the moron of the week: me.
