About us

Antivirus for the scams that target people

Senior Halo gives you a calm second opinion on any text, email, or call you’re not sure about, and a pause before money leaves your hands.

Why we exist

Antivirus was built to stop harmful software from breaking into a computer. That fight is mostly won. Computers now update themselves, and app stores check what you install.

Today’s scams don’t break into the computer. They break into the person. A caller sounds just like your grandson. The caller ID says it’s the sheriff. A “lawyer” gets on the line and says the bail has to go into a cryptocurrency machine today, and that you can’t tell the bank.

No computer flaw is involved. These scams work on trust, and new AI tools have made faking trust cheap and fast.

We build for older adults first because they’re targeted first and hurt most. In 2025, Americans 60 and older reported $7.7 billion in fraud losses, according to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center’s 2025 Internet Crime Report.

What Senior Halo does

  • A second opinion on any message

    Forward a text, email, or voicemail you’re not sure about. Halo tells you in plain words if it’s a scam, if you should be careful, or if it looks safe, and what to do next.

  • A warning before money moves

    Our Chrome extension watches for the moment a scam tries to cash out: a program that lets a stranger control your computer, a cryptocurrency ATM website, or an unusual gift-card purchase. It puts up a warning first, so you have time to stop and think.

  • Family alerts, only if you want them

    If you choose, someone you trust gets a text when Halo sees a serious scam aimed at you. You decide who, and you can change it anytime.

  • A plain-English bulletin

    Every two weeks, a short email about the scams going around right now, what they sound like, and what to do.

A second opinion, not a gatekeeper. We don’t ask for bank logins, passwords, or codes, and we never connect to your bank accounts.

We don’t promise to stop every scam. We promise an honest second opinion, a pause at the moment it matters, and a real person on the phone.

The rules we follow

Ten rules guide everything we make. If an idea breaks one, we don’t build it.

  1. We never touch your money. We never ask for your bank logins, passwords, or codes, and we never connect to your bank accounts.

  2. We slow things down. Scammers win by rushing you, so we never rush you, and our warnings give you time to think.

  3. We send you back to someone you trust. Every scam answer ends with a call to a real person on a number you already have, like the one saved in your phone or printed on the back of your bank card.

  4. We use plain words. Every answer starts with scam, be careful, or looks safe, then says why and what to do.

  5. We watch for the scam, not for you. Our extension looks only for signs of a scam cashing out, and it doesn’t record your browsing history or read your messages.

  6. Family joins only if you invite them. You choose who gets alerts, and they see that something serious happened, not your messages.

  7. We never shame anyone. These scams fool bankers, lawyers, and engineers too, so if you’ve already paid or shared something, we say “That’s okay” and help with what comes next.

  8. We never look like a scam. We’ll never ask for a password, a code, a payment, a gift card, or remote access to your computer, and our messages always come from the same name and number.

  9. Our prices are honest. Every price is shown up front, an intro offer always says what it renews at, and you can cancel anytime, including with one phone call.

  10. We back up every claim. Every number we quote names where it came from, and we never promise to stop every scam.
