So, they will use other vectors, like convincing people to transfer money. Set up fake webshop. Run scams through online marketplaces, etc. The solution is not to make everything impossible. The solution is to educate people.

Right, and for the few people who can’t be educated, there’s always the option of making dedicated idiot-proof devices. Some people need to wear helmets and knee pads while walking around, but that doesn’t mean that all of us do. Some people shouldn’t be allowed near sharp objects, etc.
Stop trying to flatten the human experience, Harrison Bergeron style.
