How can I stop Google Play Services from updating automatically? I have a OnePlus One with Google Play Services version 7.5.62 (1927436-438)

The most current version of Google Play Services is 7.5.66 (1939950-438) which unfortunately has a bug of some kind that continually gives me the message Google Play Services has stopped.

Is there a way to prevent my device from updating to the newer version of Google Play Services?
If you've unlocked root, there's another option. You can move the latest working GMS (10.0.84) to system partition and block auto-updates by creating empty folders with the APK name.
  
  KitKat (tested):
  
  · APK goes to /system/priv-app/com.google.android.gms.apk
     · libs go from /data/app-lib/com.google.android.gms-{1, 2}/  to /system/lib/
     · mkdir /data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk /data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk
  
  Lollipop+ (presumed):
  
  · APK goes to /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
     · libs go from /data/app-lib/com.google.android.gms-{1, 2, 3, 4}/  to / system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/lib/arm/
     · mkdir /data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk /data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk /data/app/com.google.android.gms-3.apk /data/app/com.google.android.gms-4.apk
