To avoid this scam, always check the route that will get you to an item. (Checking the sec status of the system is not fool-proof as some highsec systems require traversal of low or null sec)

<hr>

Courier contracts (into null, through lowsec to highsec pocket, and impossible couriers based on docking rights)

Related to the ambush sale (in that a scam victim is lured to low or null sec). Instead of offering a good price on an item, this scam involves a courier contract routing you to or through low or null sec.

Avoiding this scam is the same as the ambush sale: always check the route before accepting.

Sell contracts for 2x item

In this scam, a contract appears to be a typical WTB contract (possibly offering a slightly above average price) but in fact the contract is asking for 2 of the item and not 1. It can be an easy scam to fall for in cases where you have the 2 items and are not carefully reading the contract.

Always take time to verify what a contract is asking for, and if you want a failsafe: only ever keep a single copy of an expensive mod on hand when accepting WTB contracts.
