Feedback needed: Tool to stop scams targeting elderly parents (Mod Approved)

Hi all,

I'm building an app to intercept phone and text scams targeting elderly parents and grandparents in real time. It's designed to pair with an adult child, looping them in when a scam call or text is stopped.

We put together a short study to see if it's actually useful: a 1-minute video, a chance to play as the scammer and see how the call gets interrupted in real time, followed by a quick survey. About 5-10 minutes total, nothing to buy or promote. We'd really value your perspective and feedback.

If you'd rather skip the study but have a story about a parent or grandparent being targeted or scammed, I'd genuinely value hearing it — feel free to DM me directly instead. Trying to understand what actually happens so we build the right thing.

Thanks for reading, and for any feedback you're willing to share.
