I wonder, what are the police doing in this case? These scams appear to target random people in the open so it seems like just setting up honeypot accounts and waiting for scammers to engage with then will yield plenty of information, including a money trail that should lead to whoever is the beneficiary of the scam. Same thing with phone scams - have carriers route all inactive numbers to a police-run call center where scambaiters not only waste the time of scammers (potentially killing the entire business model of the scams) but also collect information such as the target bank account where the scammed money ends up. Oh yeah I know, why spend effort investigating actual crime when you have an endless supply of victimless "crime" of people consensually growing/trading/consuming a plant?
