That’s a really strange definition of “scam”. I would simply define a scam as something where you’re promised to receive something (a certain token, a token that is backed up by something, a promise of future work, et cetera), and then don’t receive it (either now or in the future).

If I simply create a meme token and sell it to someone who speculates that it will increase in value, I don’t see how that can be considered a scam.
