Fair questions, honest answers.

It's practice, with her permission. The difference between a trick and a drill is consent — she signs up knowing practice scams will come, the same way an employee at any big company knows their IT team sends test phishing emails. The moment she interacts with one, it identifies itself and teaches her something specific. Most enrollees come to enjoy catching them.

Always. Personal consent is required — we'll never "secretly test" anyone. What keeps it effective is that they don't know when or what form the next drill takes. Real scammers don't make appointments either.

Drills are designed with published research on older-adult learning: private, positive, no shame, immediate reassurance. Missing a drill triggers a 30-second friendly lesson, visible to no one except family members your parent approved. And if it's not landing well, unenroll in one click.

Wonderful — the report card proves it, month after month, and that proof is worth as much as the training. Scams evolve constantly, so staying enrolled keeps skills current against tactics that didn't exist last quarter. Think of it like a smoke detector that also texts you "all clear, and here's why."

No one can promise a person will never be scammed — walk away from anyone who does. What the research shows: one-time education fades within about a month, while simulated experience with immediate coaching is the approach a 2024 federal research review called promising, and it's how virtually every large company trains employees. See Why it works.

Never. Spry doesn't monitor money at all — that's a different (complementary) category of product. We only need contact channels: an email address, and optionally a phone number and mailing address.

Practice versions of what's actually circulating: fake bank alerts, delivery texts, prize notifications, tech-support pop-ups, "grandparent in trouble" messages, and new AI-driven variants — refreshed monthly from FBI, FTC, and state regulator reporting. Never anything involving real money or real personal risk.

Yes — with proper consent, which we obtain in writing before any text or voice drill, per the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. It's why we start every enrollment with email and treat consent as a feature, not paperwork.

Sharp people get scammed every day — optimism bias ("it won't happen to me") is exactly what scammers exploit, and today's AI-voice scams fool professionals. Framing that helps: this is the same training Fortune 500 companies require of every employee, including their CEOs. It's not about being gullible; it's about reps.

Absolutely. A meaningful share of our early-access list is people 60+ who want the training for themselves. The report card goes wherever you want — including only to you.
