The Problem

Families and organizations tell people to 'just be careful,' but generic advice does not build the instincts needed to catch modern scams. AI-generated phishing is now pixel-perfect, so the old tells like typos and bad formatting are gone, leaving people exposed if their instincts haven't kept pace. Older adults lose the most per incident, often retirement savings, while teens lose account access and personal data, and by the time a family finds out the damage is already done. The page cites fraud losses quintupling since 2020, 86% of people confident they can spot a scam yet 56% of those who encounter one still engaging, and $7.7B stolen from adults 60+ in 2025, most of it never recovered.

The Solution

ScamDrill sends safe, realistic simulated scam emails and texts at unpredictable intervals, mimicking how real scams arrive, for family members or employees who have opted in. If a learner clicks, they get an instant, friendly lesson on the red flags they missed; if they spot it correctly, they get positive reinforcement toward a training streak. Difficulty adapts per learner and by age group, while a dashboard shows caregivers or admins which scam types each person catches and where they need more practice, with real-time alerts on interactions. The Family plan adds an iPhone/Android app and a forwarding number/email so learners can get an AI-powered second opinion on a suspicious text or email, plus per-learner skill trend pages, a monthly AI-written coaching brief, and gamification (streaks, achievement shields, tactic mastery). The organization product adds centralized dashboards, department analytics, a baseline-then-autopilot training cadence, closed-loop remediation, bulk onboarding, SSO/SCIM, LMS API, and compliance reporting.

Why Now?

AI-generated phishing has become pixel-perfect, erasing the obvious red flags (typos, bad formatting) people used to rely on, so instincts need retraining to keep up.
