I too have been frustrated with this issue and consider it an exploit. These essentially amount to fake buy orders and can have no legitimate or useful purpose in the game. I have seen this exploit used a lot recently and the abuse potential to the market is huge. CCP if your reading this please fix it now before it becomes a bigger problem.

Hey I never fell for this scam I just figured it out by accident. It is simply an exploit there is no legitimate use for it in the game. The only legitimate part of the scam overall is the contract offer, a fake buy order is nothing but a problem.
But hey since you can set up a fake buy order why not be able to set up a fake sell order too? This way the scammers could drive down the cost of all goods on the market as a whole and buy up the real ones cheap. What a joke, please get rid of the fake buy orders.
I have seen many scams and I don't get upset over them, this is not a scam but an exploit that needs to be fixed.

I just see a huge problem in the trustworthiness of the market if this continues. I guess what your saying is that from this time forward no one should be involved in trade anymore because they can't trust the numbers they see in the market.
The game has some built in trust functions that are essential to the operation of commerce in the game. What I mean is that you see something for sale or have something for sale and you can trust that you will either get the item or the ISK.
Even if you don't end up losing any money it still can effect the market in a very negative way, basically the market can't be trusted anymore because it is being manipulated.

Oh and it's not about "smartening up" because no matter how smart you are it becomes impossible to predict if the buy order is real or fake.
