The panicked text

"Is this real?" arrives at the worst time, with no context and no way for you to check it from wherever you are.

🎣

Scammers move faster than blacklists

New phishing domains go up every day. By the time a site is on a blacklist, it's often already done its damage.

🙅

You can't be there every time

You can't screen every email, text, and pop-up your parents see. You need something that does it for you, automatically.

Free URL Check

Got a suspicious link?

Instant result — nothing stored, no account needed.

Get scam alerts you can forward to your parents

A short weekly digest of the scam types targeting older adults right now — easy to share, no jargon.

No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.

Set it up once. Protect them every day.

No accounts for them to manage, nothing for them to remember. You set it up, you stay in control.

Install the free extension on their computer

Scamtinel's Chrome extension takes a Zero-Trust approach — it blocks any site that isn't already known to be safe, so accidental clicks on phishing links from email or text can't land.

Get the Scamtinel app and pair their device

Install the mobile app on your phone, generate a pairing code, and enter it once in their browser extension. That's the whole setup.

Approve or block, right from your phone

If they hit a blocked site, they can request access. You get a notification, review the domain, and approve or deny it in seconds — from wherever you are.

Questions parents' kids actually ask

Will this slow down their computer or browsing?

No. The extension runs silently in the background and only steps in when a site isn't on the trusted list — everyday sites like banking, news, and shopping are pre-approved.

Do they need to do anything technical?

Just install the extension once — you can walk them through it over a call, or do it yourself if you're setting up their computer. After that, there's nothing for them to manage.

What happens when they hit a link that isn't blocked?

No security tool blocks everything, which is why we also give you the free checker above — paste any suspicious link and get an instant verdict, no installation needed, even before the extension is set up.

Is the extension free?

Yes — the Chrome extension with Zero-Trust protection is free. Remote family management (approving requests from your phone, syncing multiple devices) is part of the Premium plan.
