It looks very strange (because it is) but there are so many opening traps that putting them into one board would be ludicrous and painful to look through.
ikr, but i think everyone knows this by now that everyone knows how to refute it
Opening trap in the Smith-Morra gambit
that is the morphy gambit

Ok, well this one is fun too, although it involves a very specific set of conditions to work.
Be warned: This trap does not work if the opponent plays Nc3 at any point. The queen then has a guardian.

nice try

You could also do what they want, except play e6 instead of h6. if they try the trap there, you let them, then you have Bg4+, discovered attack on the queen, and we win back the queen.

nice one, haven't thought about that one yet
Not really a trap, but basically the only line for white in the traxler that does not lose, and we are winning by 1 mm.
And which lines are losing for white?
I now i am a fan of 5. Nx7, Lxf2+, 6. Kf1 but 5 d4 is an good option too and i doubt that 5.Lxf2+ is losing either
One more thing 11 h3 is better than 11. d3
If you play 11.h3, blak takes the bishop, and it's a fork, he has won a bishop for free, and even if you take the bishop, Ne4, double check, and white is completely winning.
the queen has taken your knight on f7 via the fork, so Ne4 is double check.
meant black
Then black has Ne4 Qf6 and black has a massive and basically unstoppable attack on your king
In your 2nd one, that is mate in 2. Bg3+, Kg1 is forced, and Qf2 is mate. So, Black just plays Kd7 and mates you.
if you block with the queen, the knight just takes the queen and black is up a queen.
wait never mind. did not see the bishop. but here, black has a big kingside attack that can be done if we so much as move our knight and bishop.
