Test my parent

Pen-test for grandparents · ordered by you

Find out if Mom or Dad would fall for a scam — before a criminal calls.

HackGran runs controlled phone simulations on your parent or grandparent: the same idea as phishing tests at work, built for families. You sign up. We call. You get a clear report.

Book a simulation How we keep it safe

For adult children supporting aging parents — whether you're 19 or 67. Not a service for minors.

Elder fraud costs Americans billions every year. Most victims never get a practice run before the real call.

HackGran gives your family that practice run — on purpose, on your terms.

We test the calls they actually get — landlines, mobiles, and unknown numbers.

You get the results privately — so you can help without a fight at Sunday dinner.

Companies already do this. Your parent deserves it too.

At work

IT sends fake phishing emails. Employees who click get training — not fired by strangers.

At home

Scammers call daily. There's no safe rehearsal — until you book HackGran.

How a HackGran test works

  1. 1

    You enroll someone you care for

    Tell us about your parent or grandparent, their phone habits, and which scam types worry you most.

  2. 2

    We run an authorized simulation

    Trained operators use realistic scripts — IRS, grandparent bail, utility shutoff, prize winnings, and more. No real money moves. No threats.

  3. 3

    You review the results privately

    See whether they hung up, hesitated, or followed the script — plus coaching tips for a calm conversation afterward.

Scenarios we simulate

Rotating library — matched to what con artists actually use on seniors.

  • Grandparent emergency
  • Fake bank fraud alert
  • Medicare / insurance
  • Package & delivery
  • IRS / government imposter
  • Tech support remote access
  • Romance & loneliness bait
  • Prize & lottery wins

Ethical by design — not a prank

This only works if it's responsible. HackGran is offensive security for families, not harassment. Every test is tied to an adult child or family member who authorizes it.

  • Authorized only — you confirm you have permission to arrange testing for this person.
  • No financial harm — we never ask for real payments, gift cards, or wire transfers.
  • Recorded & bounded — calls follow scripts with hard stop rules if distress appears.
  • Reveal on request — optional debrief call so your parent knows it was a drill.
  • Education first — the goal is resilience, not embarrassment.

FAQ

Is this legal?
You enroll as an authorized family member arranging a security exercise. We operate within strict scripts and document consent. Laws vary — we only serve jurisdictions where this model is permitted.
Will you trick them out of money?
Never. Simulations stop before any real payment request. We measure behavior, not wallet damage.
Should I tell my parent beforehand?
Surprise tests show real-world reactions; notified tests build trust. You choose the mode at signup.
What if they get upset?
Operators are trained to de-escalate and end calls early. You receive guidance for a supportive follow-up conversation.
How is this different from calling them myself?
Professionals use calibrated scripts, neutral scoring, and scenarios updated from actual fraud trends — without family drama in the moment.
