How about education, not legislation?
How about making it part of the national curriculum that people be taught about roughly how the internet works? Adverts about 419 scams could be effective -- and funny if they also show 419-eater type situations happening to the perpetrators because the user was clever.
We've already got those pathetic "knock off Norman" pro-pigopolist adverts -- how about some useful adverts protecting the public instead? "Phishing Phyllis", perhaps?.
