You can't watch their screen all day. You can teach them what to watch for.
Argos Guardian shows you exactly what your kid is up against online — then gives you a three-minute lesson you can watch together that does the hard part of the conversation for you.
It's not "strangers on the internet." It's specific, and it's clever.
The scams aimed at teens are engineered by the same playbooks that target adults — just wearing the skin of the apps and games your kid already loves.
"Your account will be disabled."
A DM that looks like Instagram or Snapchat support, a countdown, and a fake login page that quietly steals their password — and everything behind it.
"You won! Claim your prize."
A verified-looking celebrity or brand offering something free. It exists to harvest logins, card numbers, or a "small shipping fee" that never ends.
"Free skins — just log in here."
Inside the games they play: fake generators, rigged trades, and "read me your 2FA code" — because to a scammer, their account is the money.
Someone who's "really easy to talk to."
A new online friend who moves fast to build trust, then starts to push. Naming the pattern out loud is what makes it lose its power.
You don't have to give the lecture. Just press play.
Every lesson opens with a scenario your kid will recognize instantly. That recognition — "wait, that happened to me" — starts the conversation better than any talk you could plan. You watch, they watch, and the lesson gives you both the same words for it.
Three questions that beat any rule
- "Is it rushing you?" Real messages don't put a clock on you.
- "Did you read the link?" Almost-right is the whole trick.
- "Would the real app ask this?" If in doubt, open the app yourself.
Teach these three and your kid can handle a scam they've never even seen.
A kids' safety tool that is actually safe for kids.
The whole point falls apart if we mine the very children we claim to protect. So we don't.
