You have interpreted libertarian philosophy incorrectly.

Libertarians are absolutely in favor of using court systems to sue people for fraud.

The belief in contract enforcement, and stopping fraud is a defining feature of libertarians.

For some reason you're getting downvoted, but clearly people have some misconceptions about libertarianism, perhaps confusing it with anarcho-capitalism.

I'd agree that contract enforcement (including to combat fraud) along with the non-aggression principle, are the primary defining principles of libertarianism, regardless of the particular school or wing of libertarianism in discussion.

Even anarcho capitalists may support a p2p court system to combat fraud. Anarcho-Capitalism does not mean lawlessness and chaos.
