Spot the scam

Red flags your whole family should know

Most scams that reach a family phone or inbox are variations on four plays. These are the tells.

The fake bank alert

  • “Suspicious transaction” text with a link or a number to call
  • Asks you to read back a one-time code or move money to a “safe account”
  • Your real bank asks for neither — ever

The delivery or toll text

  • A tiny fee — $1.45 — to release a package or settle a toll
  • The link is almost right: usps-delivery.com, not usps.com
  • The target was never the fee. It’s your card number.

The prize that costs money

  • You’ve won — once you cover a “processing fee” or buy a gift card
  • Sweepstakes imitations are a favorite against grandparents
  • A real prize never requires payment to collect

The voice that sounds like family

  • A panicked call — accident, arrest, kidnapping — send money now
  • AI can clone a voice from seconds of audio pulled off social media
  • Hang up, call their real number, and agree on a family code word

Reading the list once helps. Practicing against realistic versions of these exact messages is what makes the spotting automatic — that’s the drill.

How it works

Like a fire drill, but for scams

Three steps. Three minutes to set up. Then it runs on its own. When a real one shows up, they check it in the ScamDrill app before they act.

01

Invite the people you love

Add your spouse, kids, or parents. They confirm with a simple opt-in — they know drills will come, just not when.

02

Safe scams arrive — by email

Realistic but harmless simulations land in their inbox at unpredictable intervals — IRS, bank, delivery, fake-job, "grandkid in trouble." Short scam-prevention tips arrive by text.

03

They learn instantly

If they click, a friendly debrief shows the red flags. If they spot it, they get positive reinforcement. You see the whole family's progress.

Families catch the scams they used to fall for

Built on real scam dataEvery drill is modeled on scams reported to the FBI, FTC & AARP.

My dad forwarded me a "bank alert" to ask if it was real. If it had happened three weeks ago he might have just clicked it.

Set it up for the whole house in five minutes. My teenager actually thinks the "gotcha" debriefs are funny. That was unexpected, in a good way.

A fake USPS text hit my wife's phone for real last week. She screenshotted it and laughed. The drill had already shown her exactly that one.

Good questions

The things families ask first

No — and that's by design. Everyone opts in first, so they know practice scams are coming (just not when). There's no shame, no "gotcha." If someone clicks, they get a warm 60-second explainer, not a lecture. It works exactly like a fire drill: safe, expected, and far better than the real thing.
Completely safe. Drills never ask for real passwords, card numbers, or money — links lead to a friendly debrief page, not anywhere dangerous. Nothing has to be installed on anyone's device, and we never access real inboxes or accounts.
Only what's needed to send drills and show progress: name, email, and (for SMS) phone number, plus whether each drill was spotted or clicked. We don't read real messages, sell data, or share it. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest.
We email you a reminder a few days before your trial ends, with the amount and the date. If you do nothing, your plan continues and your card is charged: Family is $7/mo billed annually (or $9 monthly), 25% off your first year while the autumn offer runs, with 4 learner slots included ($2/mo each extra); Solo is $29.99/yr (or $2.99 monthly) for one learner, yourself, also 25% off your first year while the offer runs: $22.49/yr or $2.24 monthly. Cancel in one click from Billing before day 14 and you pay nothing. Prefer no card at all? The Free plan covers one learner at no charge.
The four hitting hardest: fake bank-fraud alerts, delivery and toll-fee texts, prize and sweepstakes fees, and AI voice-clone emergency calls. Teens get their own versions by DM — free Nitro, fake job offers, account “verification.” Drills are updated as new scams emerge, so the practice keeps pace with what’s actually landing.
Yes — that's who it's built for. There's nothing to download and nothing to remember to check. Drills arrive as ordinary emails, and the debriefs are written in plain language. Setup takes about three minutes, and you do it once.
