I decided to go ahead and include them even though they're not 100% confirmed to be scams (and chances are, we'll probably never know), since many of those in the community think that they were scams. Not to mention there seems to be a general consensus that even if they weren't outright scams, their owners were still negligent with their users' funds or dishonest at the very least.
That being said, I should also point out that there have been occasions where scammers actually admitted to their scamming behavior. Stackcoin is the most memorable example:
We didn't forget ahah
Still waiting for this gif to be the official alt-coin logo !
Thanks to everyone for the 69.5 btc, don't worry they have been well spent ! And thanks to the guy who sent 0.5 more to make a round 70, also for the retard who sent some btc 3 months after !
STACKCOIN WILL NEVER DIE ! NEVER FORGET YOUR LESSON !

Wow, I didn't know about these. They are disgraceful, I don't know if you believe in such things but I do believe in Karma and people like these always get their comeuppance. Good luck with your venture, you'll never have shortage of content. If you do, just take a gander at "Investor-based games", it's a new playground for scammers.
