There was a person last year going around to websites posting a whole bunch of hastily-made .onion single-page scam websites that essentially just say "Pay $10 to this bitcoin address for the service". They'd post a series of links, like:

Facebook hacking:

Love potion spell

http://fakew3b5173b14hb14hb14hfspopd.onion/

Mystery box

http://fakew3b5173b14hb14hb14fine9ffewh.onion/

[...]

Not only are many of these scam services played out and pretty obvious, like pretending they will hack facebook accounts for $25, and not only were many others ridiculous like a love potion spell, satanic spells, a "mystery box" that you pay $10 to find out what's in it, but their shotgun approach of listing them all in a single post makes it obvious how fake and desperate it is. I'd be amazed if anyone fell for it, but they kept hand-posting these for months until site owners manually blocked them.
