SITUATION

Make your parent harder for scammers to reach

After a scam attempt, you lock down accounts and file reports. The next step: the data that made them reachable — name, address, phone, age range — is still on broker sites. That's the data we remove, and keep removing.

Data brokers are the sourcing tool for scam targeting

Scammers don't guess. They use the same people-search sites anyone can access to find personal details that make their approaches convincing.

The same details invite repeat contact

Once someone responds to a scam, their contact details tend to circulate among fraud operators. And broker listings keep publishing the age, address, phone, and family details that made the first attempt viable. Removing the source data cuts off that supply.

Phone numbers and addresses make scams convincing

Effective scams use personal details to build trust. A caller who knows your parent's full name, home address, and family members sounds credible. Broker sites provide all of that in one search.

Older adults have decades of accumulated records

Long residence histories, multiple phone numbers, and decades of address records make older adults' listings especially detailed. Many sites also publish age ranges — another detail scammers screen on. Removing these listings takes that signal away.

Adult children are often the ones who need to act

Your parents aren't going to spend hours filling out broker opt-out forms. Adult children usually take the lead after an incident. A managed service lets you set up protection on their behalf — no technical process required.

Reduce the data that makes targeting possible

1

Audit their exposure

We scan the web for your parent's name, phone numbers, email addresses, and all known addresses. You'll see exactly which sites have their information and how detailed those profiles are.

2

Submit removal requests

We handle opt-out submissions across the sites where they appear. Automated forms, legal removal requests, and operator-group resolution across the broker networks that share data. You don't need to teach your parents how to fill out opt-out forms on 50 different sites.

3

Verify and follow up

Each removal is verified. Non-compliant brokers get escalated removal requests, and when a listing reappears we re-submit.

4

Monitor continuously

Broker databases refresh from public records. We detect re-listings automatically and submit removals before the information can be used in another targeting attempt. The protection continues without your parents needing to check or take action.

Common questions about protecting parents

Mostly, yes. You'll need their basics (name, address, phone, email) to create a profile. You can manage the account, review results, and track removals on their behalf — they don't need to touch the dashboard.
It cuts the source material. Removing phone numbers from broker sites makes new scammers less likely to find them. It won't stop calls from existing lists, but combined with call blocking it meaningfully shrinks the attack surface.
If they share an address, yes. Brokers link household members by address. Removing one parent's listings still leaves the other's profile exposing the home, phone, and family. Family plans cover both.
Prevention beats cleanup. If their phone, address, and age range are publicly searchable, they're already in the sourcing pool scammers use. Removing the data now reduces targeting in the first place.
