- For
- Families helping older relatives practice spotting scams
- Worth noticing
- Parents choose email, text, and/or voice themselves; the page says research consent is a separate, optional choice.
Field notes
Families first create an account and record their own consent; each parent then receives a private link to choose email, text, and/or voice, with research consent handled separately. Drills arrive at random times within a chosen window and end with an immediate reveal and coaching tip; the dashboard is described as tracking caught versus missed attempts. The page says drill inputs are not stored, sent, or charged, and shows fictional .example messages as demonstrations.
