Yeah but you also have to pay a bunch of money. That's going to discourage scammers at least some amount.

It won't.

Actually the fact that it's paid makes it even more useless, because the vast majority of users will NOT be verified. I would never, ever, pay for this verification for example.

Therefore a non-verified user will not look less trustable than a verified one.
