"People in my community have been tricked into losing money by not spotting fake emails or texts. With this tool, no more guess work and a safer community."
Meet the founders of Ask Silver, Alex Somervell and Jonny Pryn.
In 2020, a close family member of Alex's was scammed out of £150,000- most of their life savings. At the time, they were in a vulnerable stage of life and were the victim of 3 scams, spanning 4 months and 9 individual transactions.
This experience inspired Alex and Jonny to create Ask Silver. Now, they're on a mission to stop scams like the one Alex's relative was a victim of.
Alex and Jonny have been friends for 15 years and business partners for 9 of them. They even appeared on hit BBC show Dragon's Den with their very first business.
