Abstract: For a single free scalar field in $d \geq 2$ dimensions, almost all the unitary conformal defects must be trivial. The only possible exceptions are monodromy defects in $d \geq 4$ and co-dimension three defects in $d \geq 5$. As an intermediate result we show that the $n$-point correlation functions of a conformal theory with a generalized free spectrum must be those of the generalized free theory.
