Well, the FTC is _trying_, at least. They took action against On Point Global (https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/x130054/po...) which operated a big network of DMV-lookalike sites. If you tried to Google for renewing your drivers license, you'd get sent to one of these sites, which looked like it would help you renew your license but would actually just charge you approx. $15 to download a PDF guide on how to use the real government website.

There's a certain threshold of complaints, unfortunately. The FTC only has the resources to go after big fish. But, one thing I did learn from reading the FTC complaint is that credit card chargebacks do work, after a fashion; the company was getting repeatedly booted off of merchant accounts for accruing lots of chargebacks. I bet if people aggressively charged back the EIN scammers it'd end up hurting them too.
