Remember the debacle where visa and mastercard were pressured by the government to run financial warfare against wikileaks? Any API where the government requires corporations to levy financial warfare against any or all users (across the globe) is the wrong sort of solution. I don't like these scams either, but sacrificing freedom for security is a bad idea.
The core problem is not the scammers, but the complete ignorance of some people in this country. As long as we have people who are dumber then fence posts, then these scams will always be with us. The solution to this problem is to find those responsible, bring them to justice, compensate the victims. Not create a new judicial branch out of international corporations.
