I pretty much just tell them to assume that anyone contacting them by whatever means asking them to do anything is a scammer.
In my experience, trying to list and explain all of the ways that scams happen actually has the complete opposite effect — either it ends up as information overload and they don't remember it, or they become so fearful of doing wrong in specific situations that they almost certainly become more vulnerable to fear-based attacks as a result.

I tell her that if she ever has any doubt whatsoever that she’s to call me any time any where and I’ll help. I also promised to cover any financial loss due to eg making a late payment because of my advice.
