We also need more "public service" announcements - and not the 30 second boring ads, but actual plot points in movies and TV be centered around these common scams. If (I have no idea what's popular now, but let's say Marvel) a movie had a crypto scam as a central point, it would educate people way more than any number of government warnings.

Education would be a great stop gap, but I still think we need to close the hole thay is being used. One example would be requiring gift cards to be bound to a name on purchase and have IDs checked when it is used.
