SeniorShield.ai was founded by John Ream with a deeply personal mission. After watching his father, who was battling early dementia, repeatedly fall for “Your phone has a virus” scams, John saw his mother constantly canceling credit cards—only for his father to be targeted again days later. When a few simple daily text tips helped his father regain confidence, John realized that proactive education could stop these scams before they even start.
As John looked deeper, he uncovered the scale of this silent epidemic: the average senior scam now exceeds $84,000, and only 1 in 44 financial fraud cases involving seniors is ever reported.
Today, SeniorShield.ai delivers a suite of scam prevention and education tools designed for seniors, their families, and senior living communities, including:
Real-time scam alerts to keep seniors ahead of new and emerging threats
Safe browsing protection through a proactive browser extension
Real-time insights for families and caregivers to monitor and support loved ones
Community-wide protection for senior living facilities to safeguard every resident
Our mission is simple: give seniors and families peace of mind by stopping fraud before it happens—so they can spend less time worrying about scams and more time enjoying life together.
