For Families

Protect your family inboxes,
even from far away

Your parents shouldn't have to face confusing or dangerous emails alone. Check This Email gives them a simple, always-available way to get help — and gives you peace of mind.

You know the phone call. Your mom, your dad, your grandparent — worried about an email they don't understand. "I got something from the bank and I don't know what it wants me to do."

Sometimes it's a scam. Sometimes it's perfectly legitimate but written in language that's confusing, technical, or intimidating. Either way, they need help — and they need it right now, not the next time you're free.

That's what Check This Email is for. They forward the email. We explain it in plain, clear language. If it's a phishing attempt, we'll tell them to delete it. If it's a real notice that needs attention, we'll walk them through what it means and what to do next.

Here's what your family sees

When your mom forwards a suspicious or confusing email to , she gets a clear answer — and you get a copy so you can follow up if needed.

Check This Email
DANGEROUS

This is a phishing scam pretending to be from Amazon. The link goes to a fake site designed to steal your login and credit card information.

What To Do

Delete this email immediately. Do not click any links. If you already clicked, change your Amazon password right away.

You control the notifications

From your dashboard, choose when family members are CC'd on safety reports. Get every report, only dangerous ones, or let them handle it on their own.

When to CC Family

Replies in their language, not yours

Does your mom speak Spanish? Your dad speak Korean? Set each family member's preferred language and their safety reports arrive in a language they can actually read — with English idioms and jargon explained in plain terms.

12 languages supported, each set per person from your dashboard. No one else has to change a thing.

Not just scams — any email they don't understand

Most email security tools only care about threats. We help with everything — because a confusing email can be just as stressful as a scam.

"My bank sent me something about a new policy. Is this real?"
We'll check if it's legitimate and explain what the policy change means in plain terms.
"I got a shipping notification but I didn't order anything."
We'll examine the links and sender to identify whether it's phishing or a real delivery.
"This says my account will be suspended if I don't click here!"
Urgency and fear are hallmarks of phishing. We'll flag the red flags and tell them to delete it.
"I got a notice about my insurance premium changing."
We'll break down the numbers and jargon into language that actually makes sense.

The Family Plan — set it up for them

You set it up, so they don't have to. Add your family members' email addresses and they're covered. No accounts for them. No passwords. No apps. They just forward emails to and it works.

Choose to receive copies of their safety reports — so you know when something dangerous lands in their inbox. Set each person's preferred language so they get answers they can read.

The cost of one bad click

Seniors lost over $3.4 billion to online fraud in 2023 alone. Beyond the financial toll, a single compromised email can mean stolen identities, locked bank accounts, and weeks of stressful recovery.

A second pair of eyes on a suspicious message — before the click — can make all the difference. For the cost of a couple of coffees a month, your family has somewhere to turn every time an email doesn't feel right.
