Trust Check BD

# Trust Check BD > **Search before you pay. Report a scam when it happens.** [Trust Check BD](https://trustcheckbd.com) is a community-driven scam reporting and trust verification platform built for Bangladesh. I’m building Trust Check BD to solve a simple but important problem: **Before sending money to a person, seller, business, website, or online platform — how can you know whether you can trust them?** In Bangladesh, online scams are becoming increasingly common across Facebook, e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, and direct transactions. Many people only discover that someone is a scammer **after losing their money**. Trust Check BD aims to help people make a more informed decision **before they pay**. ## 🚀 What I'm Building Trust Check BD allows users to search and verify digital identities before making a transaction. Users can search for: * 📱 Phone numbers * 💳 bKash / Nagad numbers * 🌐 Websites and domains * 📘 Facebook pages * 👤 Other digital identities associated with online transactions If a suspicious person or entity has previously been reported, users can discover those reports before sending money. ## 🔍 Scam Search The core experience is a simple search: ```text Search → Check existing reports → Understand the risk → Decide before paying ``` Instead of relying on rumors or random Facebook posts, users can find structured scam reports in one centralized platform. ## 🚨 Scam Reporting Anyone who has experienced an online scam can submit a report with relevant information such as: * Scammer identity * Phone or payment number * Website or social media profile * Transaction information * Scam description * Screenshots or supporting evidence The goal is to turn individual scam experiences into useful information that can protect other people. ## 🧠 Building a Community-Driven Database Trust Check BD is not just a search tool. I'm building a growing **community-driven database of scam reports** where information from individual incidents can become useful to thousands of other people. The long-term vision is to make scam-related information easier to discover, understand, and verify before money changes hands. ## 🛠️ Technology Trust Check BD is built using modern web technologies: * **Next.js** * **React.js** * **TypeScript** * **Tailwind CSS** * **Node.js** * **Prisma** * **MongoDB** * **PostgreSQL** The platform is designed with a focus on: * ⚡ Performance * 🔎 SEO * 📱 Mobile-first experience * 🔐 Data integrity * 📈 Scalability * 🤖 AI-friendly structured content ## 🎯 Why I'm Building It The idea came from seeing how difficult it can be to determine whether an online seller or individual is trustworthy before making a payment. A simple question inspired the project: > **"What if people could search someone before sending them money?"** That question became Trust Check BD. I'm building it with the goal of creating a reliable digital layer of trust for online transactions in Bangladesh. ## 🌱 What's Next Trust Check BD is still evolving. Future plans include: * Business verification * Trusted seller profiles * Verified business badges * Product and business discovery * Better scam intelligence * More structured verification data * Community-driven trust signals * Tools to help businesses build online credibility Ultimately, I want Trust Check BD to become a place where people can **check before they trust, search before they pay, and report when something goes wrong.** ## 🔗 Project **Website:** https://trustcheckbd.com **Tagline:** `Search before you pay, Report a scam when it happens` --- ### 👨‍💻 Built by **Monir Hossain** — Full-Stack Developer & Founder I'm building Trust Check BD from idea to production, working across product development, architecture, frontend, backend, database design, SEO, and growth.
