Scams have many different vectors

Many centering on the "unbelievably good deal, act fast before this opportunity gets away..."

Wash your hands after interacting, keep public spaces clean, that sort of stuff.

Or, expose people to the challenges and teach (their immune systems, their frontal cortex, whatever) to recognize the bad actors and prevent harm before it starts.
