They Worked a Lifetime for This.
One Email Can Take It All.
Seniors lost $81.5 billion to scams last year. Most of it will never be recovered.
EFA catches the threats they can't see coming.
Fraud Comes for All of Us. Even the Director of the FBI and CIA.
William Webster led the FBI. Then he led the CIA. He spent a lifetime around intelligence, investigations, and some of the world's most sophisticated criminals.
At 90 years old, scammers still targeted him.
Intelligence. Experience. Success. Connections. None of them make someone immune to fraud.
Every Victim's Child Says the Same Thing
"I thought I would have caught it."
"I thought they would have told me."
"Why didn't their security software protect them?"
One of the most common misconceptions about email fraud is that traditional security software protects against all of it. It doesn't. There may be no virus to detect, no malicious attachment, and no dangerous link to block. A fraudulent email can arrive looking completely legitimate and ask the recipient to do something that seems perfectly reasonable.
That's the gap we created Read-Time Fraud Detection (RTFD) to address: protecting people at the moment an email is being read and acted upon, after traditional security has already had its chance.
There Is No Undo Button
When a scammer convinces your parent to send money:
Once the money leaves, the bank owes them nothing.
That's not a policy. That's the system.
Protect Their Dignity — Not Just Their Savings
Seniors who fall for scams don't just lose money.
Not because they weren't smart — but because the scam looked completely real.
What EFA Watches For
A second set of eyes on the message in front of them, at the moment they read it.
Impersonated People & Organizations
Messages written to look like they came from a family member, a bank, or a company they deal with.
Lookalike Email Addresses
An address that is almost the one they know, changed by a character or two so it reads as familiar.
Fake Account or Security Messages
Alerts about a locked account, a suspicious charge, or a password that supposedly needs attention right now.
Misleading Links
Link text that reads as one destination while the link itself points somewhere else.
Urgent Payment Requests
Requests for money framed as time-critical, so they get acted on before anyone can check them.
QR-Code Scams
A code in a message that leads somewhere they cannot read before scanning it with a phone.
Account-Access Scams
Messages asking them to approve a sign-in, or enter a code, for something they never started.
Suspicious Reply Addresses
A message that shows one sender while any reply would travel to a different address.
These are examples of what EFA watches for, not the full set. See How Scams Work for the broader range of fraud signals and techniques, or the complete list of EFA warnings.
The average senior fraud victim loses $83,000.
These Aren't Statistics. These Are Real People.
Every number is someone's parent. Someone's retirement. Someone's life savings.
What Are Their Life Savings Worth?
This isn't about cost.
It's about preventing something you can't undo.
You Can't Stop Scammers From Targeting Your Parents.
But You Can Protect Them.
You won't be there when the email arrives.
But this will.
