At this point, the only real way to avoid that would be peer-to-peer transactions. Basically meeting someone in person and trading your crypto for physical cash.

Unless you know specifically who own said address (even to the point that those can be spoofed) you just have a big pile of wet paper.

There are also plenty of ways to connect the address to the person. You can subpoena a legit vendor they've paid with that address, for example.
