Two red flags in this email
- Suspicious domainchase-secure-verify.co is not chase.com — banks write from their own domain.
- Urgency pressure“Within 24 hours or your account is suspended” exists to stop you pausing to check.
Three red flags in this text
- Unknown senderA real carrier text comes from a short code, not a random 240 number.
- Urgency pressure“Confirm within 12h” is there so you act before you think.
- Fake .info linkUSPS only uses usps.com — anything else is a lookalike.
The Problem
Why Warnings Alone Don't Stop Scams — and What Actually Works
We say "don't click suspicious links," but we never give them a safe way to learn what "suspicious" actually looks like.
Scams are getting smarter
AI-generated phishing is now pixel-perfect. The obvious red flags your family used to rely on—typos, bad formatting—are gone. If they haven't updated their instincts, they're exposed.
No age group is safe
Older adults lose the most per incident—often their retirement savings. Teens lose access to accounts and personal data. By the time you find out, the damage is done. Protect your parents → | Protect your teen →
"Just be careful" won't stop a loss
Advice doesn't build reflexes. The only way to get better at spotting scams is to encounter realistic ones in a safe context—before a real one costs your family money, data, or peace of mind.
How It Works
How Does ScamDrill Phishing Training Work?
Like a fire drill, but for scams. ScamDrill uses realistic simulations to build real-world scam recognition skills for any age group — gently, and always at their pace.
-
You sign up
Create your account, choose a plan, and invite your loved one to join. They'll confirm with a simple opt-in.
-
They get “scammed”
ScamDrill sends realistic but safe simulated scam emails and texts at unpredictable intervals—just like real scams arrive.
-
They learn instantly
If they click, they see a friendly lesson explaining the red flags they missed. If they spot it, they receive positive reinforcement.
-
You see progress
Your dashboard shows how each learner is progressing, which scam types they're catching, and where they need more practice.

Features
ScamDrill Features That Protect Your Family or Business
Built to be effective, easy to manage, and tailored to who you're protecting.

Progress Dashboard
See which scam types each learner is catching and where they need more practice. Track improvement over time, per person.
Adaptive Difficulty
Each learner gets simulations tuned to their own performance—ramping up in difficulty as they improve. Tailored by age group too.
Real-Time Alerts
Get notified when any of your learners interact with a simulation so you can follow up with encouragement.
Friendly Lessons
Every simulation includes a warm, clear explanation of the red flags—designed to educate, never to shame.

Got a text that feels off? Two ways to get a second opinion.
Forward it to your ScamDrill number and get a verdict back by text. Or open the ScamDrill app (iPhone and Android), paste or share the message, and get the same answer with the red flags spelled out — screenshots too. Both come with the Family plan.

Real stories from families who started practicing
"My two teens are constantly on social media, and the scams targeting their accounts have gotten really sneaky. ScamDrill is the only service I’ve found that actually gives them some awareness and instincts of scams and how to avoid falling for them."
"I set my aging parents up on ScamDrill after a close call with a fake bank text. They’ve actually told me it’s eye-opening and a little bit fun. That alone makes it worth it."

FAQ
Common questions
Yes, always. Your loved one opts in with their own consent and knows training simulations will arrive—they just won't know exactly when or what they'll look like. This mirrors real scams: you know they exist, but never know when one will show up.
They see a friendly ScamDrill page explaining the scam, which red flags were present, and how to spot similar attempts. There's never any risk of malware, data theft, or actual harm—the tone is always warm and encouraging.
Anyone. Simulations are tailored by age group—IRS fraud, tech support cons, and grandchild emergencies for older adults; fake social media warnings, crypto scams, and phishing job offers for teens and Gen-Z. Difficulty and educational content adapt to each learner.
Our library covers the most common types: fake IRS notices, tech support alerts, package delivery scams, bank security warnings, grandchild emergencies, and charity fraud—plus social media account warnings, crypto giveaway scams, fraudulent job offers, and phishing DMs. New templates are added regularly based on real-world trends.
Every drill is built from real, recently reported scams — sourced from the FTC Consumer Sentinel, the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the AARP Fraud Watch Network, and real-time community reports on r/Scams. Our team reviews fresh fraud trends every week and updates the simulation library, so what your family practices reflects what’s actually landing in inboxes and texts right now. Learn more about how we build simulations →
Typically every 15 to 30 days on a semi-random schedule, so learners can't predict when one will come. You can adjust the frequency from your dashboard.
Absolutely. Every simulation email includes an unsubscribe link. Learners can opt out with a single click at any time.
Realistic enough that click rates on first-month simulations typically match what attackers see in the wild — that's the point. Templates cover the highest-volume real-world pretexts (shipping notifications, document-share requests, Microsoft 365 admin alerts, voicemail notifications, invoice fraud, IT helpdesk tickets, payroll updates, CEO wire-transfer requests). Each simulation pairs a brand-correct visual layout with a sender domain that matches the pretext, and the educational debrief shown after a click teaches the specific red flags that template exercised.
