After an aunt of mine got scammed just like this, but to a lower tune of money, I got so sick of this happening to vulnerable people. I went ahead and made an app and put it on her phone.
The other apps and services out there operate on a blacklist model. They block calls they know to be bad. My app turns that around and operates on a whitelist model.
That being said, I had to help my aunt out some in getting it working, but now I am confident that she won't be scammed again.
Despite all the normal warnings we give our elders, in the heat of the moment, the scammers know how to take advantage of them. The best thing is to not allow them to ring their phone.
If anyone cares, my app is in the app stores, and available 100% free for basic usage.
