The difference is the government exists to step in and punish scammers, and regulates markets to prevent many scams for being possible.
That is also possible with blockchain, its partly enforced with KYC (know your customer) laws. Granted there isn't currently a great example that I know of where auditing and reversal is possible but that doesn't mean it's not technically possible.
one of many benifits of the blockchain is that there are ways of using it without directly giving up your name or government ID. A minor side effect is that scams will exist using it.
