Got a comment or idea? Send us a text.

We sit down with John Ream, creator of SeniorShieldai, an innovative app designed to help seniors identify scam text messages and protect themselves from digital fraud. John shares his personal motivation for developing this solution after watching his father repeatedly fall victim to online scams, costing his family thousands in fraudulent charges.

• SeniorShieldai uses AI and a known scam database to analyze suspicious text messages
• The app offers three affordable pricing tiers: free, $0.99/month, and $3.99/month
• Over 100,000 seniors reported scams in 2023, with average losses of $34,000 per incident
• Total senior scam losses exceeded $3.4 billion last year in the US alone
• Educational quizzes within the app teach users how to identify common scam patterns
• The average person receives approximately 12 fraudulent text messages daily
• Family members can send "test scams" to educate their elderly loved ones
• Weekly scam alerts keep users informed about new threats
