What Happened?
According to TechCrunch, Savi Security launched a new consumer app on July 7, 2026, for iPhone and Android.
The app checks texts, voicemails, and phone calls for signs of fraud.
Brothers Patrick and Ryan Coughlin created Savi after their mother received a fake kidnapping call using an AI-generated voice.
The caller copied their sister’s voice, faked her phone number, and used personal details to make the story sound real.
AI scams can become more convincing when criminals know details about you or your family. Some of that information may come from social media, data breaches, or leaks.
You may not know where your information has appeared online or how it could be used against you.
If you are unsure whether your information was leaked, automatic monitoring can help you spot problems earlier.
Futureproof monitors your data for leaks 24/7 and helps you reduce scam risks with simple, clear steps.
How Savi Checks Calls and Messages for Scams
Savi can filter suspicious texts and voicemails. During a questionable call, users can add Savi as a silent listener.
The app looks for behavior linked to fraud and can warn the user while the call is still happening.
This feature is called live-call monitoring, meaning the tool checks a conversation in real time.
Savi costs $7.99 per month or $62.99 per year. One plan can cover any number of family members.

How the Fake Kidnapping Call Fooled the Founders’ Mother
About two years before the app launched, the founders’ mother received a call that appeared to come from her daughter’s number.
She believed she heard her daughter in danger. A man then demanded $1,200 and threatened to kill her daughter at a local Walmart.
The scammer had copied the daughter’s voice, faked her caller ID, and mentioned a Walmart she often visited.
Caller ID spoofing means making a false number appear on your phone screen.
The mother called her daughter separately and learned she was safe.
