How ScamPrep compares.
Blockers and monitors can never catch all scams. Practice helps with those that get through.
| Approach | What it does | When a scam gets through |
|---|---|---|
| Account monitoring | Watches the bank account, alerts family to suspicious transactions | Alerts arrive after money moves, and feel like surveillance |
| Scam blockers | Filters known scam numbers or emails | Scams always slip through. When they do, their recipient is untrained and vulnerable |
| Free classes & pamphlets | Teach scam awareness once | Retention fades within about a month, and the content goes stale as new scams appear |
| ScamPrep | Safe practice with coaching, quick briefings to stay current, and a quarterly report | The recipient becomes their best defense, without giving up an ounce of independence |
The evidence
Built on what actually works for older adults
Federal reports and academic research have repeatedly found one-time scam education fades within weeks, but studies show performance on safe practice tests predicts real-world risk.
That's why Fortune 500 companies have used and trusted simulated phishing training for years. Now, ScamPrep is providing it to the people who need it most.
Consent-first, always. Every participant opts in personally. Drills are gentle, revealed the moment someone engages, and designed based on best practices for older-adult learning. No shame or fear tactics. Read our full promise
Frequently asked questions
Does my loved one know they’re enrolled?
Always. Personal consent is required, and we never test anyone in secret. What keeps ScamPrep effective is that they don't know when the next drill will come or what form it will take. Real scammers don't make appointments either.
How do I introduce this to someone who is confident they can spot scams?
Optimism bias ("it won't happen to me") is behind much of the $2M+ lost to scams every hour. Scammers fool professionals every day. Introduce ScamPrep as a chance to practice spotting newer scams, rather than a concern about their judgment.

What if they never fall for a single drill?
That's great news! Their Resilience Report proves it quarter after quarter, and continued practice introduces newer tactics while giving them more chances to use what they've learned. Think of it like a smoke detector: even if you haven’t had a fire yet, you have it in case of one.
Is this another app they'll have to manage?
No, and that's deliberate. There is nothing to download and no password to remember. Drills and briefings arrive through the channels they already use every day, like their email inbox and cell phone. There's nothing new to check or keep charged. If they can read a text, that's all the setup there is.
Do you access bank accounts or financial information?
Never. ScamPrep doesn't monitor money. We only need contact channels, like an email address and phone number.
