This one is really sad. The gentleman who was scammed was actually a volunteer at a call center helping the elderly prevent scams and he still fell for this, despite his son and other family members cautioning him that it was a scam.
That makes it fairly clear there is no practical defense against such scams once you become a target, so the only option is to stop the scammers along the chain somehow.
