📖 The Story
In 2025, Canadians reported over $530 million lost to fraud — and experts estimate the true figure is 5 to 10 times higher. Seniors are disproportionately targeted, and most existing tools are either American-focused, require technical knowledge, or only check one type of scam.
TrustChekr was built to fill this gap. It's a free, privacy-first platform where anyone can paste a suspicious message, URL, phone number, email, or crypto wallet address and get a plain-English risk assessment in seconds. No sign-up required. No data stored.
What makes TrustChekr different is the depth of analysis. Each scan runs through 14 modules including 9 threat intelligence databases, pattern matching trained on Canadian scam data, an entity graph that links suspicious actors across reports, and AI text detection that flags machine-generated scam messages.
The platform also includes Canada's first free Online Safety Academy — 8 modules covering everything from phone scams to romance fraud, with interactive quizzes and completion certificates.
