Is there an algorithm? Then the scammers simply learn how to game the algorithm and defeat it easily. (This applies to some easy checks like domain registration date too.)
Is it a team of humans? That's a lot of sites and a lot of humans to employ. What about user-reports? Now you have to deal with false reporting and abuse.
