Screenshots.

However, a couple people have come to me saying that they have been framed. I really don't see how a screenshot can prove whether or not a person scammed another person unless the guy says "haha i scammed you"

The only time I feel that an admin should ban a person for scamming is when the admin is moderating the trade. For the people that have been banned so far, this has not been the case.

I understand that. That's why I'm not too thrilled about the idea of banning people for scamming unless an admin witnesses it.

And I, personally, can tell when images are editted
[EDIT] in the new mudlib system I imagine, if they give each trade a specific ID, you may be able to UNDO a trade (if you're an admin)[/EDIT]

I can give someone an item, and then say 'omg he scamd me, ban plz' and judging by Sam's... reactions it wouldn't be far from the truth if the ban occured.
