Any scams I've missed?

Okay! So a couple of months in, and it feels like I've seen it all?
But I'm sure there are still some surprises left.

Things I've had so far:
1) Pay to join another personals site because they have 'more stuff' to view on that one, oh, and make sure you credit them for referring you!
2) Pay to be 'verified' at an age and credit verification site before they'll talk to you anymore.
3) KITS! Pay for kits, totally inappropriate things that cost hundreds of pounds but are vital for our 'first session'...
4) Buy shopping cards, with cash, and send them to show commitment.
5) Provide personal details, slowly, a few in each email, until you've given them enough to steal your identity.
6) Pay for a sudden family emergency - usually a relative in hospital.
7) Pay up front for travel cost and they'll come meet you somewhere.

Pay for a relative to attend school because without it they will have no good opportunities in life.
9) Just send money damn it!

Compared to the first 8, which usually only come after you've invested days or weeks in writing emails, the last one is quite honest and refreshing!! *grin*

So have I missed any other common scams?
