And how exactly do you block scraping IPs? I suspect some of scrapers are just confused and are not aware of better ways to get OSM data. Responding with a 403 error code will only lead to them changing their IP addresses. A more effective approach might be to provide a response containing instructions on where to download data in bulk or a link to a guide that explains how to process OSM dumps.
