Why now
Scams are getting smarter — and losses are exploding
AI voice clones and deepfakes have made fraud dramatically more convincing. The numbers show it.

The good news: spotting a scam is a trainable skill. Classes and pamphlets fade within a month — practice sticks. That's Spry.
How it works
A fire drill for scams
A fire drill doesn't lecture you about fire. It builds the reflex. Spry works the same way — four parts, each with one job.
Enroll in 2 minutes
Tell us a little about the person you're signing up — email, phone, and any scams they've already run into. They opt in personally, always. No app to install, nothing for them to manage. That's it: you're good to go.
Safe, simulated drills
On an unpredictable schedule, we send practice versions of the scams hitting older adults right now — across email, text, and calls — modeled on the latest tactics reported to the FBI and FTC. If they click, nothing bad happens: a friendly page opens explaining the tell they missed and gently pointing out what to watch for next time. No lecture, no shame — and research shows this moment is when the lesson sticks.
A quiet drip of education
On occasion, alongside the drills, we send a very brief heads-up: the newest scams in circulation and the tells to look out for. Two minutes to read, spaced over time — so the warnings stay fresh instead of fading like a one-time seminar. Because we refresh drills and briefings continuously from what's being reported to the FBI and FTC, the person you care about hears about new scams while they're still new — often before they've hit the local news.
Monthly Resilience Report
Every month, a one-page rundown: which drills we ran, what they caught, what they missed, and their resilience trend over time. Proof they're getting sharper — and an early heads-up if their judgment starts to slip.
The Resilience Report
Peace of mind you can actually read
Monitoring apps only message you when something bad might have happened. Spry sends you proof of something good: the person you care about is getting harder to fool, month after month. It's one page. It takes two minutes to read. And it turns “I hope they're okay” into “I know they're ready.”

Everything else waits for the scam. We get there first.
| Approach | What it does | The gap |
|---|---|---|
| Account monitoring | Watches the bank account, alerts family to suspicious transactions | Alerts arrive after the money moves — and quietly signal “we're watching you” |
| Call & text blockers | Filter known scam numbers | The day one slips through — and one always does — the person is untrained |
| Free classes & pamphlets | Teach scam awareness once | The benefit fades within about a month — and the content goes stale as new scams appear |
| Spry | Trains the person with safe practice and coaching, keeps their knowledge current with drip briefings, and measures progress monthly | The person becomes the defense — without giving up an ounce of independence |
Blockers and monitors are fine seatbelts. Spry is the driving lesson.
The evidence
Built on what actually works
A 2024 federal review of scam-prevention research found one-time education fades within weeks — and called messaging that simulates being scammed “promising.” A University of Florida study found performance on safe practice tests predicts real-world risk. It's the same simulate-coach-measure loop Fortune 500 companies have trusted for years — simply never pointed at the people who need it most.

Fair questions, honest answers
Isn't this just tricking my mom?
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.
Does my parent know they’re enrolled?
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.
My dad is sharp as a tack. Isn't this insulting?
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.
What if they never fall for a single drill?
Wonderful — the Resilience Report 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."
Is this another app they'll have to manage?
No — and that's deliberate. No apps, no downloads, no logins, no passwords to forget, nothing to troubleshoot. Drills and briefings arrive through the channels they already use every day: their inbox, their texts, their phone. There's nothing new to check, update, or keep charged. If they can read an email, they're already set up.
Do you access bank accounts or financial information?
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.
