I would recommend the following:

1. Between TMobile's "Name ID" app, and Google's call scammer screening, I very, very rarely get any scam calls through anymore. That's a huge change from recent experience for me.

2. I absolutely love Android's "screen calls" feature, where it does speech-to-text over the phone. 9 times out of 10 it just discourages scammers from going further.

3. Most importantly I think is just to train (and practice!) people that if they don't recognize a caller, just hang up. Don't talk, don't apologize, nothing, just hang up. People are socially conditioned to think that's rude, etc., but it today's age, that is by far the safest thing to do.
