What is supposed to deter scammers from operating with impunity if no one can punish them?
Has anyone noticed that some self-checkout machines have cameras directed above your head pointed down? They literally record you punching your PIN in for your debit card. Not cool!

What's the libertarian / ancap solution to scammers?
Yelling and pointing them out is only partially effective because it's not possible to warn (or even convince) the whole world.
Ostracizing has the same issue - there are always more fools in the sea for scammers to harvest.
Civil lawsuits are similarly flawed because the successful scammer will be better funded than the victims.
