I don't think there is much that law enforcement can do since most of the scammers are in other countries (mostly India and China). Outside the jurisdiction of all but international courts (which really don't have any power in the first place).

The biggest thing that could be done would be to require some form of authorization for any international money transfers that would let scam transactions be screened out. That would, however, have pretty substantial effects on global commerce, even with some kind of system whereby some entities could be pre-authorized to not need to have every transaction checked, so I'm not sure it's a worthwhile tradeoff. It also wouldn't do anything to stop scams that get their money through gift cards, so odds are implementing such a measure would just shift most scammers to those instead.
