The threats targeting seniors that ordinary spam filters miss entirely.
Scammers call or text promising guaranteed returns, crypto investments, or emergency wire transfers. According to the FTC, investment scams are the #1 source of elder fraud losses — often over $10,000 per victim. We flag these contacts before money moves.
A call or text claims their computer is infected, their Apple ID is locked, or Microsoft needs remote access. The FBI ranked tech support scams the #1 elder fraud type in 2023. They look terrifyingly real. Senior Fraud Watch catches them before they answer.
Callers pretend to be the IRS, Social Security, Medicare, Amazon, a bank, or even a grandchild in trouble — demanding gift cards, wire transfers, or personal information. Impersonation is the most frequently reported elder scam. We stop them at the first ring.
Scam detection runs entirely on-device — no cloud, no server, no data sharing. Even Apple cannot read what we analyze.
Apple's SMS Filter API runs Senior Fraud Watch inside a private sandbox. We never see your contacts, message history, or messages from people you know.
Install and protection begins. There's no cloud profile, no analytics tracking, no telemetry leaving the phone.
Detection uses a 1,000-rule local model. No internet connection is needed for SMS filtering or call blocking to work.
We don't have your data to sell. There are no third-party trackers, no advertising IDs, and no behavioral profiling — by design.
The simple test: turn off the iPhone's WiFi and cellular data. Senior Fraud Watch keeps catching scam texts. That's because there's no "Senior Fraud Watch cloud" — there's only your phone.
Takes about five minutes. The senior does not have to do anything.
Scammers use email, phone calls, texts, and sketchy websites. Senior Fraud Watch covers all four.
FTC data shows email is the most common fraud contact channel. Forward a suspicious message to Senior Fraud Watch and get an instant verdict — no inbox-wide access required.
Robocalls from fake government agencies, bank fraud alerts, tech support scams. Known scam numbers are blocked before the phone even rings.
Fake USPS delivery, unpaid toll notices, fake bank alerts. SMS scam losses grew 5× in 4 years. Suspicious texts are filtered automatically to junk.
Fake virus pop-ups, phishing login pages, fake prize sites. When a known scam site is visited, a bold warning appears: "Our system has detected — This is likely a scam."
Scammers count on seniors being alone when it happens. Senior Fraud Watch runs in the background every day — blocking scam calls, filtering spam texts, flagging phishing emails, and warning them before a sketchy website causes harm.
