What you are asking for is increased regulation and this runs counter to the ethos of your "free country".
If you are for free markets and free trade... then you will have to take these negative aspects. Your nation will have to adapt. It will have to change.

Freedom does not mean "anything goes", no more than free speech allows a person to yell "Fire! Run for your lives!" in a crowded place just for his twisted amusment, when there really is no fire.
No, what you're describing (and seeming to want to advocate, here) is not so much a free market, as it is a black market.
