This isn't just another security tool. It's a promise to protect the people who matter most.
It Started With
A Dangerous Email
It happened to me. Then my wife. Then my mother. Then my father. Four people in my family—all targeted by sophisticated phishing emails designed to steal money, passwords, and peace of mind.
Senior citizens are among the most vulnerable to email scams. Every year, billions of dollars are stolen from families through phishing attacks. The emails look real. The urgency feels genuine. And in one wrong click, a lifetime of savings can disappear.
I've worked in IT for over 26 years. I can spot a phishing email from a mile away—the suspicious sender addresses, the urgency tactics, the sketchy links hiding behind innocent-looking text. But my parents? My in-laws? They shouldn't need decades of technical experience just to read their email safely.
"Why isn't there something dead simple that just tells people 'this email is dangerous' before they even open it?"
That question kept me up at night. Existing solutions were too complex, too expensive, or required technical knowledge that most people don't have. My parents don't want to configure security settings. They just want to know: is this email safe to open?
ScamBlock was born from that frustration. I wanted to build something my mom could use—something that works the moment you install it, with zero configuration. No accounts to create. No settings to tweak. No technical jargon to decode.

Three simple colors. Green means safe. Yellow means be careful. Red means stop—don't click anything. That's it. No technical knowledge required. Just glance at your inbox and know instantly which emails to trust.
Here's something important: your emails never leave your computer. The AI that powers ScamBlock runs entirely on your device, in your browser. We don't see your emails. We don't store your emails. We can't read your emails. Your privacy isn't just a feature—it's a fundamental promise.
To give everyone—especially seniors and non-technical users—the confidence to use email without fear. To make world-class security so simple that anyone can use it.
Because no one should lose their life savings to a convincing email. Because protecting your family shouldn't require a computer science degree. Because peace of mind should be accessible to everyone.
I built ScamBlock to protect my family. Now I'm sharing it with yours. Whether it's your parents, grandparents, or anyone who could use an extra layer of protection in their inbox—ScamBlock is here to help.
