Heh, I knew my site was on the map when spammers found it. :-)

I learned about scams that hit renters and landlords, but thankfully I got rid of them fast.

Also, people posting would either not capitalize anything or leave the CAPS LOCK key on. Spell checking their own ads was just too much to ask. That struck me as very odd, because I thought they would try their best to make it right to get a unit rented. I just let them post what they wanted as long as it seemed like a legit listing.

I'm a real estate addict (worked in the industry 9+ years, just about to buy my third house / first investment) - nothing surprises me any more.

I've seen agent-taken and client-approved photos that include nude glamour shots on the wall, sex toys on display etc. Formatting and spelling in ads drives me to distraction - I had an agent when I sold my first place actually mis-spell the suburb it was in!
