Why your parents are now prime targets

Most adults are busy, living in different cities, and cannot be there every time a suspicious call comes in—which is why a simple, shared playbook for the whole family has become essential, not optional.

3–5 contacts a week

Typical number of scam calls, texts, or emails older adults report seeing now, even when they try to be careful.

1 family, many locations

Adult children often live in different cities or countries, so no one can sit beside parents for every suspicious call or message.

2–3 seconds of panic

That is all a convincing “It is me, I need help” message needs to push someone into sending money.

1 clear playbook

Having a simple, shared plan for what you and your parents do when something feels off is now essential, not optional.

Plain‑language education

Everything is written so busy adult children and non‑technical parents can understand it in a few seconds—no jargon, no scare tactics.

How Family Scam Shield was born

Two years ago, one of our parents answered a call from someone who sounded exactly like a grandchild in trouble. The caller said there had been an accident, money was needed right now, and begged them not to tell anyone. By the time the rest of the family realized it was a scam, thousands of dollars had been wired away—and the bank could not get it back. That sick, helpless feeling is why Family Scam Shield exists: to give other families clear, early warnings so their parents do not have to learn the hard way.

Before Family Scam Shield, every unknown number on my parents’ phone felt like a test I might fail. I could not sit beside them 24/7, and the thought of them being tricked while I was busy at work was gut‑wrenching. This project is my way of giving other families the calm I was desperate for—clear guidance you can send to the people you love, before scammers get there first.
