Problem
Online scams are increasingly sophisticated and widespread, with Americans reporting approximately $21 billion in losses to online crime in 2025—roughly five times the amount reported in 2020. Most people lack the skills to recognize manipulation tactics before falling victim, and generic security advice is rarely memorable or age-appropriate for every family member.
Solution
Unscammable provides a free, research-backed training platform designed to scam-proof entire families through engaging, bite-sized lessons. The curriculum is built from insights gathered from detectives, child-safety investigators, and fraud teams, then transformed into five-minute interactive sessions that play like games for retention. Lessons are personalized for each user's age and platform usage, so a teenager learns about Snapchat and TikTok scams from a peer-aged instructor while an older parent receives content about Facebook and text message scams in a larger font with no Gen Z slang. The platform teaches users to identify seven forms of manipulation, including urgent time pressure, secrecy demands, and impersonation checks.
Target Audience
Primary users are families seeking to protect children, teenagers, and older adults from online scams, with content specifically tailored to different age groups and the digital platforms they commonly use.
