ShieldsON
Our mission: protect seniors

Our parents and grandparents are being robbed by email. ShieldsON stops it.

Most fraud starts with one convincing email. ShieldsON puts a plain-English safety ribbon at the top of every message in Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo — so a scam is obvious before anyone clicks, pays, or shares anything.

Protect your loved ones now with the ShieldsON email ribbon, always free (no credit card required). Advanced features available with a subscription.

A rating on every email, in words anyone can read

No settings to learn and nothing to remember. The ribbon appears above the message, explains the risk in plain English, and says exactly what to do next.

  • Checks who really sent the email, not just the display name
  • Flags brand impersonation — fake Microsoft, Amazon, bank and delivery notices
  • Inspects links before anyone clicks them
  • Learns which senders are genuinely safe for that person
⚠ High risk — likely a scam
This says it is from “Microsoft Billing,” but it was really sent from ms-billing-support.co. The payment link goes to a site created 3 days ago. Do not click. Ask someone you trust first.
✓ Looks safe — verified sender
This really came from Amazon (amazon.com), the sender checks out, and the links go where they say they do.

This is happening to real families

$1.2M lost. A retired engineer moved his life savings after weeks of messages he believed came from his bank’s fraud department.

A ribbon on the first email would have said: this sender is not your bank.

A home sold out from under her. An 80-year-old was talked into selling her condo far below value by people she met online.

Fraud escalates. The earliest contact is almost always a message.

A grandson who “needed bail money.” The voice sounded right. It was cloned.

With ShieldsON, one question to a trusted advisor ends it.
