I do not believe there is a proxy service around that will not respond do a proper legal warrant for the information after due process has been exercised.  And if there was, they would be breaking the local law.

So the information is registered.

And if someone is using a pseudonym to commit fraud, that too is a crime in most places.

So all the avenues for knowing who you are dealing wit exist as long as the proper processes of the law are used.  And since there are lots of civilian organization more than ready to help the law with their investigative process and assuming that we do not make all information leaking and whistle blowing  illegal, it should be possible for the law to do its job.
