Support

Support from a person.

Write to us and a person at Office Guard reads it, weekdays from 8 am to 8 pm Eastern, usually within a day. If a message or text has you worried right now, do not act on it until you hear back, or call the person it claims to be from on a number you already have.

Email

[email protected]

Include the email address on your account and, for a warning, the date it fired. Never forward the scam itself with its attachments; a screenshot is enough.

Phone

+1 (770) 780-7114

Weekdays, 8 am to 8 pm Eastern. Leave a message outside those hours and we call back.

Common questions

Does it work with my email?+

Gmail, Outlook.com and Hotmail, Yahoo, iCloud, AOL, and any address on your own domain. Gmail and Outlook connect with a sign-in; the others with an app password, and the steps are on screen when you connect.

Do I need the app?+

For texts, yes: the app is what watches them, on the phone. Email warnings work without it, by email and on your account page, but the app is where the notification arrives.

Will it slow down or change my email?+

No. It reads a copy of each message as it arrives and lets it go. Your mail is not moved, filtered, delayed or answered.

What happens when a scam arrives?+

A notification on your phone and a card in the app that says what we found, who it came from and what to do. See Office Guard Home's list of scams for the exact words.

Can my family see my mail?+

No. On the Family plan the organizer sees that you are protected and that a warning fired. You can turn even that off from your family page.

My parents are not technical. Can I set it up for them?+

Invite them from your family page. They accept with one tap and the app walks them through connecting their mailbox. If they would rather you did it, do it together on their phone; nothing requires a password of yours.

How do I cancel?+

A plan bought by card: your account page, Manage billing. A plan bought in the app: your phone's subscription settings, since the store holds the subscription. Either way the plan runs to the end of the period you paid for.

How do I delete everything?+

Settings, Delete my account. The mailbox connection is destroyed at once and the account within the day.

I got a warning on a message that was fine.+

It happens; the rules lean toward warning when money and urgency meet. Dismiss it. If a sender you trust keeps tripping a warning, tell us and we will look at the rule.

Is this the same company as Office Guard?+

Yes. Office Guard Home is a product of Office Guard, LLC, which protects real estate professionals from email and text fraud with the same technology.

Connecting a mailbox, step by step

  • Gmail and Outlook.com. Tap Connect, sign in with Google or Microsoft, approve. Make sure you sign in as the address you are protecting; both may offer another account first.
  • Yahoo, AOL, iCloud. These need an app password, a one-time code the provider gives you for one app. The connect screen links to the right page and shows where to paste it.
  • Your own domain. If your mail is on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 it connects like Gmail or Outlook. Otherwise the connect screen explains forwarding, and support can help.
  • Text protection. In the Office Guard Home app, Protection, Turn it on. On iPhone that is a Message Filter in Settings; on Android, notification access. Both are explained on screen.
