Everything you need to know about SAM.

SAM stands for Secure AI Monitor. More importantly, SAM is a trusted companion you can call or text anytime to help you recognize scams, look at suspicious messages more closely, and make safer decisions with confidence.

No. SAM is an AI-powered companion created by SilverSafe AI. SAM uses advanced technology to help evaluate suspicious situations and provide easy-to-understand guidance, while always leaving the final decision with you.

Call or text SAM at 844-8-ASK-SAM. Describe the suspicious call or message you received, forward a screenshot, or paste a link. SAM points out possible warning signs and suggests independent checks, like calling the company on a number you already trust. SAM cannot confirm whether a caller, link, or message is legitimate.

No. If you can make a phone call or send a text, you can use SAM. There is nothing to download and nothing new to learn.

Anyone can call or text SAM for 2 free scam checks. That is a lifetime total for each phone number. After that, you need a plan. Essential Plus monthly comes with a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers. A card is required, and the plan renews at $29.99 a month unless you cancel.

SAM is built for older adults first. It is voice-friendly, patient, and simple, designed for people who prefer talking over typing. Families, caregivers, and anyone who wants a second opinion on a suspicious message can benefit too.

No. SAM never blocks, filters, or interferes with your phone. SAM helps you understand whether something is a scam so you can decide what to do. You always stay in control.

Suspicious phone calls, text messages, emails, websites, links, QR codes, social media messages, romance scams, and AI-generated scam content. SAM stays current with the latest scam tactics.

No. No technology can promise complete protection. SAM is designed to help you recognize warning signs, understand the risks, and make a more informed decision before you act.

Only if you link a caregiver. A linked caregiver sees a short summary of each call with SAM, a label and risk level for your texts and photos, your scam alerts (some quote what you said), your medication reminder times and whether you acknowledged them, and your home and travel cities. They get a text after each call, and a phone call straight away if SAM spots a high-risk scam or you say you are unwell, hurt, frightened, or confused. They can also change some settings, such as SAM’s voice and your reminder times. They see your full conversations only if you turn sharing on. You can change these choices or remove a caregiver at any time.
