Sending a different item is where the scam comes in. It's an obvious attempt to dupe the person into paying for something that you were not planning on selling them in the first place. Placing a single item for the same price as a stack of the same item is far different on a few levels.
First, you aren't advertising an item falsely. You listed a single item, they get a single item.
Second, you clearly listed the price for said item, and the buyer will receive that item for that price.
Third, the item that is listed is the one that will be recieved. There is no switcheroo happening between the listing of the item and the selling of the item.
Granted, it's very shady. I have never done it and will never do it. But, it's not against any server rules. Just try to be careful when buying on the AH.
