Sure, but many honest people, as well as probably all nefarious folks, want to be anonymous. Any attempt to enforce some kind of relationship between a member's name and email address would end up with matching but (mostly) bogus usernames and emails. A similar effort to verify real names and make people use them, would probably result in many honest people leaving the platform.
In the end, all you have is (i) be careful and (ii) use an insured form of payment; typically PayPal (for an item) or a protected credit card.
