The approach we’ve taken is to talk to our aging parents and relatives to make a plan in advance.

We gave them a half page card with instructions on what to do if you get such a call. It starts with a reminder that these calls are often fake and then says to always call a trusted family member before sending anyone anything. It includes a list of trusted family members to call.

We made sure to put it on their fridges so its easy to locate when needed.
