Surprising how little discussion of RE scams here

Through experience and observation there are endless scams in the Real Estate Industry. I'm a math guy, I do the numbers and can forecast value, so a scam is pretty obvious to me. I've been reading BP on and off for over a year, I have been learning and involved in RE for half of my life 16+ years, never done wholesaling or mailing or anything 'silly', just what a 'normal' real real estate investor would do. It has come to my attention that there are scams all over this site! Its ridiculous. I'm so disappointed. Its sad. You just killed most of my motivation. But hey, at least I know that I will still get good deals in the near future when there are more foreclosures and market crashes. Thanks

Scammers identified so far just from watching BP podcasts:

Clayton Morris and his wife

Tom Krol

We should all add to the list. Please remove those BP podcasts and ban those members and sticky their companies and names as SCAMMERS!
