Adult children use this kit to teach Mom or Dad the same red flags fraud educators repeat: gift cards, remote access, fake urgency, and “help me now” calls. Nothing here spies on their phone — it stays on your device.
How families use this
One short lesson per visit — not a lecture
Pick a topic, read the “say this” line aloud, let them react. Check off when they can explain the rule back in their own words.
Use for grandparent / emergency scams: “If it’s really you, tell me our phrase.” Never share the phrase with callers.
Teaching checklist
0/0Inspired by what phone-scam educators teach: slow down, verify independently, and never pay strangers with gift cards or crypto.
Scam types to review
Tap a card — use the bullet list as talking points.
ScamShield is family education only — not legal advice or emergency response. If someone lost money or feels unsafe, contact your bank, local police non-emergency line, or adult protective services. Call 988 if someone is in emotional crisis.
