About
Why we're building the world's best scam-resilience software.
In 2025, Americans over 60 reported more losses to scams than ever before:
- $7.7 billion reported lost, up 59% in a single year
- More than 200,000 complaints filed with the FBI
- $38,000 lost by the average victim, enough to erase years of savings
Behind every one of those numbers is a family, and often a retirement, changed by a single phone call or text.
What struck us wasn't just the scale. It was the mismatch. If you've ever received a fake "phishing test" email at work, you've already had the world's best scam training. For more than a decade, virtually every major company, bank, and government agency has drilled its people against these exact tactics with simulated attacks and in-the-moment coaching. It's a proven, multibillion-dollar playbook with years of evidence behind it. Meanwhile, the standard offering for the people scammers actually target most is a pamphlet and a one-time seminar whose effect, research shows, fades within a month.
ScamPrep exists to close that gap: to take the most effective training method we know of and finally point it at the people who need it, with the consent, gentleness, and dignity that training someone you love demands.
The founder
ScamPrep is built by Bryce Wachtell. Bryce spent his career in strategy and operations — at Bain & Company, on Google's central strategy team, and at an early-stage startup — and is affiliated with Stanford's Graduate School of Business. He's building ScamPrep the way he believes protective products should be built: research-first, consent-first, and in close conversation with the fraud-prevention experts, families, and senior-care leaders it serves.
Our principles
Five commitments we hold ourselves to, in every drill, briefing, and report.
Research-built
Every drill and briefing traces back to published research and to the scams currently being reported to the FBI and FTC. When the evidence changes, the product changes.
Proof over promises
No training can guarantee protection, so we never claim it. Instead we show families measurable progress every month, and we make refunds easy when we haven't earned our keep.
Dignity first
We coach; we never shame, trick for tricks' sake, or talk down. The person practicing is the hero of this story, not the risk to be managed.
Consent always
Nobody receives a drill who hasn't personally said yes. Every channel is opt-in, opting out takes one reply, and nothing ever happens behind anyone's back.
Independence, not surveillance
We don't watch bank accounts or monitor anyone's life. ScamPrep builds the skill that lets people keep confidently handling their own affairs — that's the whole point.
