I took a quick look using the link you provided and I was in awe at the sheer volume of scam journals. If you'd excuse my ignorance, are these scams just trying to steal an author's ideas, or research?

I'm guessing (also in ignorance) that this is the case with some of them. I think that's the intent of the some of the "invitations" received by His Excellency Dr. Jeffrey Shallit Robotics Expert, Too, Intelligent Materials and Mechatronics Enthusiast, Also.
There's also been some talk of how bad it is inside China where a lot of plagiarism and self-plagiarism has been noticed. Apparently some of it is being driven by high competition for few high positions so credential inflation has become a priority.

I doubt it, but I suppose it's possible. More likely to me is that they are just hoping to get cash for publishing. Open access journals often charge a few hundred dollars per article.
It is too early to decide on the validity of the list.Some journals have been included upon wrong information of the people.

Hey anonymous coward, instead of throwing out random and vague claims, how about signing your own name and giving us some specifics?
See how Am publishers was included in the list.
(1)Suzanne Kettley says:Very expensive and no publication charge in the Website,First Class lie.
(2)Jeff says no proper review.
I,R.A.D.Piyadasa, asked the list owner weather Am publishers has published any nonsense paper, Answer was NO.
However, Due to Jeff's finding that no proper review Am publishers went into the list.I asked weather the list is in Alphabetical order,No Answer,It seems so however,But Am publishers is in no order,I wonder weather Am publishers were in trouble due to the papers related to Fermat's last theorem including A simple and short analytical proof of Fermat's last theorem.Enough for now.
R.A.D.Piyadasa.
Piyadasa:
I understand English is not your native language, but your comment is so incoherent I can't tell what your objection is, or what you are trying to say.
I think he is saying:
"This can't be a suspect journal because they published my paper on Fermat's last theorem!"

Prof.Jeffrey,I am sorry if you do not understand what I did mean.
Am publishers has been included in the list solely due to a request made by a person called Jeff.Pl.see the following.A M Publishers Arrives at the Scholarly Open-Access Boomtown ..
and the reason for his request was that Am publishers did not review or did not review properly the papers.
I asked the owner of the list the following questions.
(1)Weather Am publishers has published any nonsense paper.Answer was No.
(2)Weather Am publishers,at least CMNSEM, the research journal of Am publishers, review papers. No answer.
I did mean that there is no proper criteria with the people concerned to make a decision on a journal weather it is a good journal or a bad journal.They have made decisions on the people complains which might be wrong.
Not only this ;I informed Am publishers that I was in a trouble that there was such a bad record of their journal and asked them to take proper actions to keep the good name(if there is) of the journal.
I know what i did is correct as far as Fermat's last theorem is concerned apart from trivial typing mistakes but basically people like or rash enough to condemn them. I thought Am publishers(just a thought) became a victim since it published the papers of mine.I think you understand now.
Honestly, I do not know weather CMNSEM is a good journal or bad journal.I have no idea about other journals published by Am publishers.
