The Threat

Americans lost $196 billion to fraud last year. Most victims never saw it coming.

FTC · Pew Research · Bankrate · FBI IC3 — 2025/2026

This is happening right now. To people you know.

Your mom gets a phone call from "you" — panicked, begging for bail money. It sounds exactly like your voice. Because it is your voice. Cloned by AI in 3 seconds from a Facebook video. She almost wires $15,000.

Average loss in grandparent scams: $9,000 per victim

Your dad gets an email from "his bank" asking him to verify his account. Perfect logo. Perfect formatting. He clicks the link and enters his password. By the time he realizes it's fake, $4,200 is gone.

Phishing is the #1 scam type in America

A contractor quotes you $8,000 for a $3,500 job. He looks you in the eye, seems honest, and says "that's a fair price." You have no way to tell he's lying. You pay double.

Average overpayment on home services: $2,000-$4,000

Your teenager downloads an app that sells their location data to brokers. Their daily routine — school, practice, home — is now available to anyone willing to pay $0.50 for it.

97% of apps share data with third parties

And it's accelerating

Fraud losses up 558% in five years. AI deepfake scams are now the fastest-growing fraud category. 85% of Americans say scams are harder to spot than ever.

Every month you wait, the people targeting you and your family get better tools. Your defenses stay the same.
