...tell them not to click any links in unsolicited emails

Best policy it to not even open the email just like you'd do with your front door if concerned.

If you don't recognise the sender then don't open it. 

Many scam emails will have an image that calls home to the scammer confirming the email has been open.

Same with phone calls.

You control the phone, if unhappy or worried. just put it down. 👍

Also get them call screening.

Spam mail (some very amusing, when they claim to be one well known delivery company, but have photos of a different company's vans) used to be mainly limited to the junk mail box, but the last few months my incoming file has been flooded with the things, so if I leave my mail for 2-3 days there are hundreds of posts to sort out.

If this change is general and not just on my system, then some email scams an be more of a problem as they address you by your first name and mention articular health problems (BP, incontinence, diabetes, sex problems for men and heart problems are a few that come to mind0. I have not opened any, but assume they are fishing for personal, mainly banking, information.
