Many people are scammed all the time from this garbage, and there's usually no legal recourse because either the malicious actors reside in countries which encourage these scams, or they hide their identities well enough that you can't find out who to sue.

It's a totally fraudulent industry and certainly deserves the anger directed at it. It undermines trust in society, and the people participating in this fraud deserve prison and asset forfeiture.
