For adult children of aging parents · U.S. first
Scam help for your parents — by text, in seconds.
Your parents forward anything suspicious to one number. They get a plain-English answer, and you get an alert when something looks risky. No app for them to install.
No credit card required. Free scam checker launching soon — waitlist members get it first.
Illustration of planned features. Not a real conversation.
Built for the parent who just wants to ask someone.
Nothing new for Mom or Dad to learn
If they can forward a text or send a photo, they can use AskSure. No downloads, no passwords.
You'll know when it matters
When a message looks high-risk, or your parent texts HELP, we let you know right away. Your dashboard shows what came in and what we told them.
A plan for “Grandma, I'm in trouble” calls
Set a family safe word. If a caller asks for money, your parent texts CHECK and a name, and we ask that family member directly whether it was really them.
How it works
- 1
Invite your parent
Add their number. They reply YES to join. Nothing happens without their OK.
- 2
They forward anything suspicious
Texts, screenshots, links, even a photo of a letter.
- 3
A clear answer in seconds
Like “This looks like a fake delivery text. Don't tap the link.” When something looks high-risk, you're alerted too.
- 4
Unsure about a call?
They hang up and text CHECK Sarah. We text Sarah to confirm, then send them her answer.
What we're honest about
No app or service can catch every scam, and we can't tell a cloned voice from a real one on a call. That's why AskSure pairs a fast second opinion with simple habits that work: a family safe word, calling back on a number you already have, and never sending money because of an urgent call.

Questions families ask
Does my parent need a smartphone?⌄
Any phone that can send and receive text messages works. Sending screenshots or photos needs a phone that supports picture messages (MMS).
Do they have to install anything?⌄
No. They save our number and forward messages to it.
Can you block scam calls?⌄
Not in this version. Your carrier's free tools (like T-Mobile Scam Shield, Verizon Call Filter, or AT&T ActiveArmor) help with call volume. AskSure helps your parent decide what to do about the messages and calls that get through.
Can AskSure detect AI voice clones?⌄
No, and we don't think any tool can do it reliably today. We help families verify who's really calling instead.
Is it always right?⌄
No. Our checks use automated analysis and can be wrong. When we're not sure, we say so and suggest calling a family member first. AskSure doesn't replace your bank, the police, or the FTC.
What happens to my parent's messages?⌄
We use them only to check for scams and alert your family. Forwarded content is deleted automatically after 30 days. We don't sell personal information or use it for advertising.
Who sees what?⌄
Family members you add can see the messages your parent forwards and our replies. Your parent can see who's on their family list and can leave anytime by texting STOP.
Can I cancel?⌄
Yes, online in two clicks. No phone calls.
Is it available in Canada?⌄
We're launching in the U.S. first. Join the waitlist to hear when Canada opens.
How do I know this isn't a scam itself?⌄
Good instinct. We will never ask your parent for money, passwords, or verification codes, and joining the waitlist costs nothing. If anyone claiming to be AskSure asks for those, it isn't us.
What if my parent was already scammed?⌄
Contact their bank right away, then report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov (U.S.) or to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (Canada). AARP's Fraud Watch Network Helpline is free for anyone.
