I want to ask for solutions how it  can be solved to catch more Blockchain fraudsters and prevent fraud.
People will be hacked less when we can catch more Blockchain fraudsters.
First, you need to ask yourself how do people or firm get hacked.

Centralized platforms are the most targeted and they easily get hacked due of some sort of error or loopholes in their coding system which Hackers exploits, they can also get hacked of other reasons ~ So in this regard, avoid using centralized platforms incase you are really really scared of being hacked.

In a decentralized eco-system, you are your security, you getting hacked or not depends solely on your actions, you get hacked if you loose your guide ~ So in this regard, in order not to be hacked, you have to -
  • Never loose your guide - be guided always, and always adhere to security protocols.
  • Keep yourself always updated with the latest security updates, you are your own system, the more outdated you are, the more prone you are to being attacked/hacked.

And on the topic of how to catch the blockchain fraudsters-
In a decentralized and anonymous community, you are a spirit, likewise the fraudsters, they don't know your true identity and you also likely not to ever know the true identity of the fraudsters too, governments can not help much in a decentralized system because they have access to nothing that do not belong to them, they have more power and control in a centralized environment ~ this brings me to what ive said before that, you are your security, if it is difficult to catch hackers and fraudsters in a decentralized system, make yourself also difficult to be hacked/be victim to a fraud in the same system.

Honestly speaking Blockchain fraudsters or Crypto-currency fraudsters can't be completely stopped what we. An and should do is limit the success of fhei activity. I hear lots of people saying to non enthusiasts that Crypto is completely safe this alone can make many insensitive of the dangers, we can start by putting into our words to new guys that Crypto-currency also poses scammers problem

You can only do your part as an individual but nothing can be done to stop blockchain fraudster from being part of the technology. It is decentralized and open to all, which means there will always be new fraudster in the blockchain while some are being caught.
As an investor all you can do is be observant and extremely careful with unknown links and website. Avoid all useless giveaways that don't appear realistic. Strictly follow recognized platforms and websites.

Blockchain fraud is a very known issue for Blockchain applications like hacks, fraud and even criminal Darknet activities.

First step is avoid phishing links. Second avoid clicking links sent to you by unknown user or emails sent to you from unrecognised services. Brute forcing has been a big threat to the Blockchain industry for a long while and since the chains are linked anonymously it is  semi-impossible to track where an attack was launched from and where it is going self protection is always the only way to stay off fraudsters

easiest thing would be consumer protection regulations

EG ask for new laws whereby any website that wants to be a business has to register as a business and be vetted as such (corporation tax numbers and CEO name)
any website that wants to be personal does not require registration
where people can then easily find out if a website is 'personal or business' to learn to trust only the ones registered as a business and easily spot the shady fake sites that use anonymity tools that are personal

heck even browsers and DNS services should flag websites registered under proxy/hidden services so that a browser icon can sit next to the address bar so people can see if a website is phishy by using hidden services/proxies etc

the simple solution is..
dont click on links within an email.
manually type in the actual websites address into an address bar.

and then.. even easier
stop relying on centralised services/custodian services to act as your wallet. and just use a proper wallet that does not use websites to scam/defraud you/phish you
