Jagex usually investigate any reports from players into scams if the report button is used, but as always these types of investigations are not revealed to players. However they do take action and you hear about a lot players who have been banned with the offence "Manual Permanent ban" which is normally applied by a member of ICU for lots of different reasons, one of them being Scamming or Hijacking. So best way to deal with any sort of rule breaking is through the game.
As for your clan being subject to those imposter accounts the best way to deal with these types of issues is to make sure all of your clan members are aware. You can easily report these players in game and then ban the imposter accounts from your clan chat, but they may shift into PM for contacting your members.
So the best policy is awareness and making sure your members are really careful about trust trades. In my clan the philosophy is, "If you are not willing to part with something then don't trade it to anyone". I do understand within clans there are players that may have certain friend groups who they will be more trusting towards, but then it's up to those players to double check they are trading/lending to the right people.
Team speak and other forms of verbal communication is a good way to verify who you may be trading the items over to but again the best way to combat such things is just to be super careful. Some clans have a very trusting culture, and that's a good thing, but in this day and age it's pretty much a world where you should really be a little bit careful when anyone asks you to trade them anything or do something for them. It's sad that it's become like this but with all of the ways to get scammed/hijacked it's really the best way to go.
I hope this has helped
