Anyone falling for this lacks a basic understanding of technology, and should not be near the Internet unsupervised until they do. Regardless of age - plenty of young folk blindly walking into shit too.
If you know people like this - please teach them. If you can't teach them, at least set them up with foolproof tools. A non-chromium browser and ublock origin is a good start. If you've got the know-how, a DNSBL like a pihole (for whole home blocking) or adaway/blokada (for Android) are good additional layers.
And get their data backed up 😬
