Here is one I made myself against the Blackburne-Shilling gambit called the flintlock trap:

The move black played is a blunder because:

White is threatening mate and the bishop, so black will lose one. Another line if black falls for the trap (the best response):

And in that position white is completely winning

the thing about a gambit is the piece that has been gambited usually has to make a threat itself or at least attack something. Even bad ones, like the Düras gambit attack e4. Gambits are supposed to be aggresive.

Its a trap not a gambit

traps are still agrressive

That is a ridiculous notion. One of the most famous traps known as the elephant trap isn't aggressive at all

It's a trap for black

How? Black literally doesn't threaten anything the entire time.

third one isn't very good i think but the first two are fairly common but the s one can also work with moves like h6 or Nbd7
