He thinks he’s doing good for these people (supposedly paying for tuition and medical expenses). He cannot be convinced otherwise, every single member of his immediate family has tried to tell him from everything form a compassionate standpoint up to and including yelling at him eventually once you can’t even make an inch of difference in his thinking.

How is he physically? If he’s not frail, maybe he could do volunteer work: holding preemies in the NICU is one thing older people do.
Maybe let him donate a certain amount to legit charities
Giving money to scammers is fulfilling his need to feel useful and do good. He needs a more productive way to do that.
Also get the phone under control. I know there are special phones for seniors that have ways of blocking scammers.

These people have convinced him that what you and I would call real charities are scams.
