Is your parent at risk?

Five questions about how the phone gets used at home. No email signup, no result stored anywhere. Just a quick read of where the family sits on the imposter-scam risk curve.

The quiz

  1. Q1

    Is the parent on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, or any other public-facing social platform?

    Public audio of someone's voice is the input an AI clone needs. Three seconds is enough.

  2. Q2

    Does the parent typically answer phone calls from numbers they don't recognize?

    Imposter scams rely on the parent picking up. The FTC's public guidance says letting unknown numbers go to voicemail is the single highest-leverage habit change.

  3. Q3

    In the last year, has the parent received at least one call that turned out to be a scam?

    Scam-call frequency is a leading indicator. If the parent already hears the calls, the next one is a question of when, not if.

  4. Q4

    Does the family lack an agreed-upon way to verify each other on a phone call?

    If there is no shared check the family does together, the parent has nothing to fall back on when the voice on the line sounds right.

  5. Q5

    Would the parent feel uncomfortable saying "let me call you back on the number I have for you" to a grandchild who sounded scared?

    The callback is the single most reliable structural defense. If social pressure makes it hard for the parent to insist on one, they are the target audience for a different kind of routine.
