I don't see any perfect way to tackle this

1. You can only block incoming emails but by then the harm is already  
done
2. Email address and blogspot domain is free, so the list will keep  
on increasing, one day all of us will get tired updating the list and/ 
or maintaining it; And finally we will end up hunting  for these guys  
and thrashing them, a telephone warning was definitely not enough.

Maybe educating all internet users might help. For instance sending  
out an email to all clients alarming them of the bogus people running  
this kind of scam. Maybe publish this information in popular sites  
like cybersansar, nepalnews etc.
