Are you seriously proposing that people past a certain age would have to get permission from some relative before having access to their own money? Speaking for myself, screw that noise. I’d trust a Nigerian scammer before most of my own relatives, and my in-laws are little better.
Better to educate people that every phone call from a stranger is a scam, no matter what they threaten or promise. Every single one, no exceptions.

Especially in regards to new tech and to know that if they don’t understand a new tech the best answer is always NO! if someone asks you to do something involving it.
