I have seen some Taylormade Spider Tour putters show up on eBay, Craigslist, etc. They all look real, but I'm always skeptical when people say they received them as a prize, etc, and don't have receipts (though it is believable it could happen). 

Are there fakes out there of this putter, or is it something they haven't bothered to try to fake? Is there an easy way to identify a fake?

There is a fake everything. The only way to verify is to buy it and call Taylormade with the serial number, or, buy it from a reputable dealer.

Taylormade unfortunately won't validate by the serial number whether it's real or fake. Very frustrating!

I might suppose that this is because scammers might buy one real club, and just run serial numbers off of it.

They could just go into a shop and get a serial number from a known valid club. No?

As far as fakes go, @kpaulhus said it already - there are pretty much fakes of everything out there.  The higher dollar items are counterfeited more than the lower ones. Because there's so many spiders out there, the only way to spot a fake would be to have a side by side comparison with a known real one - until you get good at it. The only surefire way to steer clear of counterfeit merchandise is to buy from authorized dealers or manufacturer direct.

Counterfeiters generally have trouble lining things up or making words sharp. This is because the real thing has real tools - counterfeit usually uses less quality tools to do their markings. In the case with scotty camerons, it's almost ALWAYS in the lettering at the bottom. The taylormades will be the same way more than likely. If the bottom wording looks sketch, stay away.  
In addition, may forgeries don't have removable weights. You can ask for the weights to be removed and shown to you.  

Taylormade will note if it's a real serial or not, but as was said above, you can get a real serial number from anywhere that sells them. Walk in, write down, walk out.
