Family Sentinel
Protection for the people who raised you

The criminals we fight all day
spend their evenings calling your parents.

Seniors lose billions a year to attacks engineered specifically to fool trusting, generous people. Family Sentinel puts a real, working Security Architect between the con artists and the people you love — screening every message for dangerous attachments (malware & ransomware), fake bank and Medicare emails (phishing), and the cons themselves — and alerts you the moment something's wrong.

Why we're different

Everyone else watches the bank account. We watch the inbox — where the scam begins.

Credit and identity tools sound an alarm after the money is gone. Family Sentinel is the only watch that sits where the con is actually built and believed — the inbox — and steps in before the money moves.

Before the money moves

The average scam that succeeds costs a senior over $33,000. Every other product tells you after the wire clears. We're the layer that sees the threat first — where there's still time to stop it.

We alert the family, not just the target

The hardest part of a scam is admitting it almost worked — so victims hide it, and families find out too late. A serious threat alerts you, so a parent never has to confess to be protected.

Protection that respects them

Read-only by design. Nothing installed on their device, no passwords shared, revoke in one click. Real oversight that never feels like a leash — the answer to "I'm not a child."

A real person behind it

Every serious threat is verified by a working Security Architect before you're alarmed — not a call center, not just software. And when you call, a person answers.

The playbook

The cons that empty a retirement account rarely look like attacks.

They look like a grandchild, a bank, Medicare, or a kind new friend. Here's what we watch for — and catch before the money moves.

"Grandma, I'm in trouble"

A panicked plea: an arrest, an accident, bail needed now — and "don't tell Mom and Dad." We flag the pattern and alert the family instantly.

Government & Medicare threats

Fake IRS, Social Security, and Medicare notices threatening arrest or lost benefits. Real agencies never do this — our engine knows it.

Tech-support & fake renewals

"Your Norton renewed for $399 — call to cancel." The call leads to remote access and a drained account. We catch the shape of it.

Romance & "pig-butchering"

Weeks of warmth, then a crisis only money can solve — or a can't-miss investment. Only patient, ongoing monitoring sees it coming.

Recovery scams

After one loss the vultures circle: "we can get your money back — for a fee." Prior victims are targeted relentlessly. We watch hardest here.

Prize, lottery & inheritance

"You've won — just pay the fees first." Old as time, still working daily. Flagged and explained in plain English to the family.

Fake bank & Medicare emails (phishing)

A pixel-perfect "security alert" from a domain registered last week, with a sign-in link that harvests the password. We check the sender's authenticity and where every link truly leads — before anyone clicks.

Dangerous attachments (malware & ransomware)

A fake invoice, shipping label, or "voicemail" that installs software when opened — up to ransomware that locks a lifetime of photos. Every attachment is scanned with live antivirus before it can do harm.

The guarantee

What we cannot do — by design.

Handing a service access to a parent's inbox is a big ask. So we chose permissions that take our trustworthiness out of the equation: the service cannot send, delete, or alter a single message — limits Google and Microsoft enforce at the account level, not just promises we make. See exactly what we can and cannot do →

  • We cannot send, delete, or alter a single email.
  • We cannot move, withdraw, or freeze money — ever.
  • We never see or store passwords; access is revocable anytime.
  • We keep no ordinary mail — only flagged threats, briefly, as evidence.
  • We never sell data, run ads, or train AI on your family's mail.

Common questions

What scams does Family Sentinel catch for seniors?

Government and Medicare impersonation, grandparent and family-emergency scams, prize and sweepstakes cons, tech-support pop-ups, romance scams, and fake invoices and renewals — including AI-written messages and voice-clone lures. We judge what a message is trying to do, not just whether it carries a virus.

Will this change how my email works, or confuse me?

No. Nothing about how you send, receive, or sign in changes, and nothing installs on your device. Your email looks and works exactly as it does today — you will not notice us, which is the point.

Can it send or delete my email?

No. The access we request is read-only, and Google and Microsoft enforce that — it does not include sending, deleting, or editing. You can revoke it in one click at any time.

How does my family find out about a threat?

You choose who is alerted. When a serious threat is confirmed, we notify that trusted person — usually before any money moves — with the evidence laid out plainly.

How much does it cost, and is it hard to set up?

Plans start at $19 a month, the first month is free, and setup takes about 15 minutes with white-glove help. If you can log into your email, you can do this.
