The support team would be hard pressed dealing with more scam reports added to the already-long response time. It would waste their time dealing with all these extra scam reports.

There needs to be a consequence. A lesson to learn from. Otherwise it would happen again and again.
Limsy's ring wasn't scammed off her. STS banned the person she lent the ring to while he was in possession of it. That is a totally different case from having an item scammed off you. In this case there is no transfer of ownership, the item just stays locked in a banned account. Something that neither Lims nor the person she lent it to were expecting.
