It would be pointless with my mother, anything involving technology developed after the 1980s goes were in one ear and out the other.

I just told mine, "If someone calls claiming to be me and says that 'I' am in trouble and need money, ask them [about thing from my pre-Internet childhood], and if they get the answer wrong, hang up, because it's someone else imitating my voice." No tech understanding required.
