At SeniorShield.ai, our mission is deeply personal. It all began when I noticed my father repeatedly falling victim to digital scams through text messages. As he battled the onset of dementia, he was targeted by the classic “Virus on your phone” scams, persuading him to purchase unnecessary anti-virus protection. Watching my mother struggle to cancel these fraudulent purchases was heart-wrenching. I knew there had to be a better way to protect our loved ones from these deceptive tactics.

Determined to make a difference, I started sending my father daily text messages filled with tips and educational content about the latest scams. Gradually, he became more adept at identifying and avoiding these threats. This small success ignited a larger vision. As I delved deeper into research, I discovered the enormity of the problem: over 88,000 complaints annually and fraud losses exceeding $3.1 billion among seniors alone.

SeniorShield.ai was born out of this realization. Our platform combines education with proactive scam prevention directly within the text messages where these scams occur. By sending “fake scam texts,” we test and train users to recognize and respond to fraudulent attempts effectively. This hands-on approach not only educates but also empowers seniors to safeguard their digital lives.

Our goal is to protect others from the financial and emotional toll of digital scams. We strive to provide a reliable tool that alleviates the stress and burden on family members and caregivers, ensuring that vulnerable seniors can navigate the digital world safely and confidently.

Join us in our mission to create a safer digital environment for our elders. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and prevent the heartache caused by digital fraud.
