I don't think it matters what you intend to do with the information you obtained through deception. That doesn't change whether what you did was scamming or not:
verb: scam;
1. swindle.
"a guy that scams the elderly out of their savings"
synonyms: swindle, cheat, deceive, trick, dupe, hoodwink, double-cross, gull; More
I would say your aim was to deceive, trick, dupe, hoodwink for sure.
There's no threat. I'm not trying to extort you in any way. I'm not saying "share the info with me OR ...". I'm just honestly confused as to what the trust system is for. Is it just for the case when someone scams coins from others? Or is any kind of dishonesty worth recording?
Yall can say I'm a scammer, I don't give two fucks. I've done 100+ trades under different usernames (I have 8 in total that I created AFTER kingofsports was redflagged, go for it uvwvj find em) and never had a scam accusation filed for any of them. I have no interest in scamming. I use escrow for every trade if you aren't extremely trusted so that no bullshit comes along regarding the one unhappy customer I have in my past.
I barely do any trades now that I have coinbase instant buy anyways, except when selling for large premiums on LBC.
I'm not sure what all that is about, but it's not relevant to the question at hand.
I'm not talking about any of your history, just this single case of deception:
"Hey guys I have lots of coins; sell me your site" ... "I was lying and just wanted to see what offers I would get"
That seems wrong to me, and like it might benefit others to be warned that you use these kinds of tactics to trick people. I was curious to see if others agree that that would be a reasonable use of the trust system.
