Protect the people
who protected you.

Your mom gets scam texts every day. Your dad answers unknown calls. You can't be there for every suspicious message — and honestly, you shouldn't have to be. That's Bernie's job.

The Problem

They get scammed. You lose sleep.

Elder fraud isn't just about stolen money. It destroys confidence, independence, and family peace of mind.

She clicks links. You lose sleep.

Your mom is sharp, capable, and fiercely independent. But scammers are sophisticated; they impersonate Medicare, the IRS, even her grandchildren. She can't tell what's real anymore, and she's too embarrassed to ask for help. So she just clicks.

$4.9B lost to elder fraud in 2024 — FBI reported losses only

You're their IT department. 24/7.

You field the "is this email real?" calls. You remotely troubleshoot sketchy links. You lie awake wondering what they clicked when you weren't looking. You love them, but you can't be there for every suspicious text.

54M adult children are de facto tech support

No more "Is this email real?" calls at 10pm. No more remote troubleshooting over FaceTime. No more lying awake wondering what they clicked. Bernie handles it — so you can stop.

That's not just peace of mind. That's getting your evenings back.

Real Stories

Bernie changes everything.

From worrying every day to sleeping soundly every night.

★★★★★

I used to panic every time I got a suspicious email. Now I just text Bernie and he tells me right away if it's safe. My kids finally stopped worrying about me.

I got a weird email saying my Social Security is suspended. Is it real?

That's a scam! 🚫 Social Security never contacts you this way. Do NOT call the number. Delete the email.

Bernie in Action

Like texting a trusted neighbor who knows every scam.

Bernie responds in plain, warm language. No jargon. No judgment. Just a clear answer: safe or scam, and exactly what to do next.

That took 12 seconds. No app. No password. No 45-minute phone call with you explaining what phishing means.

Catches every scam type

Phishing, impersonation, tech support scams, prize scams, fake Medicare calls. Bernie knows them all.

Alerts you for high-risk threats

When Bernie catches something serious, you get an instant notification so you always know Mom is safe.

Never condescending, always kind

Bernie makes your parent feel smart for checking, not embarrassed. That's why they actually use it.

Bernie, I got an email saying my Social Security is suspended. They want me to call right away. Should I?

Hi! You did exactly the right thing checking with me first. 😊

HIGH RISK: Gov't Impersonation

This is a scam. Social Security never contacts you this way. Do NOT call that number.

Delete the email. If worried, call SSA directly: 1-800-772-1213.

Thank you Bernie! I feel so much better. 💙

Here's what Bernie isn't.

Not another app your parent won't download. Not another dashboard you have to check. Not another thing on your plate.
Bernie lives in their text messages — the one place they already know how to go. If they can text you, they can text Bernie. That's it.
