Quick Summary

The Key Points of These Terms

Before using TrustCheck BD, make sure you clearly understand the 5 most important points below.

Following platform rules is mandatory

Using TrustCheck BD means you agree to follow all of our rules. Breaking any rule may result in your access being suspended temporarily or permanently.

Fake or false reports are strictly prohibited

Knowingly submitting a false complaint or defamatory information is a serious offence. It can harm innocent people, and such content will be removed from the site as soon as it is found.

Verification has clear limitations

Our review process is essentially an editorial assessment based on the submitted screenshots and evidence—it is not a court ruling or an official investigation.

You alone own your content

You retain full ownership of all the text and screenshots you submit. We use them only to operate the site and prevent online fraud—they are never sold for any commercial purpose.

Strict action against misuse

Deliberately harassing someone, spamming, using fake profiles, or attempting to harm the site with automated scripts will result in an account ban along with legal action.

Acceptance of Terms & Conditions

Visiting or using TrustCheck BD in any way means that you have read, understood, and agreed to abide by these terms and conditions in full.

If you do not agree with any part of these rules, please stop using our platform from this moment on. Continuing to use the site afterwards means you have accepted the revised terms.

These terms apply equally to all general visitors to our site, registered users, and anyone who submits a report or contacts us.

Core Purpose of the Platform

TrustCheck BD is an open scam reporting and trust verification platform built for the people of Bangladesh. Our sole mission is to reduce online fraud and help citizens make safer decisions online.

  • Help people easily find identified scammers, fake online shops, and suspicious activity
  • Give community members a safe way to share their verified experiences with everyone
  • Raise awareness about the constantly evolving tactics of digital fraud in Bangladesh
  • Build a reliable database for verifying the trustworthiness of any page, number, or business before a transaction
  • Contribute to building a safer and more transparent digital economy in Bangladesh

TrustCheck BD is an awareness platform for ordinary citizens; it is not a law enforcement agency or the police. We cannot directly investigate a crime ourselves or arrest anyone. Please use all the information published here solely for the purpose of public awareness and making safer decisions.

User Eligibility

You may use TrustCheck BD only if you meet the conditions below. By using the site, you confirm that you have this eligibility.

  • You must be at least 18 years old, or be using the site with the permission and supervision of a guardian
  • You are obligated to comply with all applicable laws of Bangladesh and the laws of the country where you are currently located
  • You will always provide complete, accurate, and truthful information when submitting a report or contacting us
  • You are using the platform only for good purposes; not to personally frame someone, or to cause commercial or competitive harm

User Responsibilities

It is everyone's responsibility to keep TrustCheck BD a reliable and safe platform. By using the site, you promise to uphold the responsibilities below.

  • Submit only truthful information based on your own real experience or trustworthy evidence
  • Maintain humane and respectful behaviour towards everyone on the platform, including the accused page or person
  • Keep your account login information fully secure and inform us immediately if you have any suspicion
  • Do not file reports based on hearsay, rumours, or word-of-mouth stories — only report confirmed incidents
  • If you notice any error or gap in previously submitted information, correct it promptly through our Help Center

Reporting Rules

Accurate and honest reporting is the foundation of this platform. The following standards are mandatory for every complaint submitted.

  • The report must be based on an incident that happened to you personally or on incontrovertible evidence
  • At the time of submission, all information must be completely true and factual to the best of your knowledge
  • Attached chat screenshots, payment receipts, or transaction records must be entirely genuine — no editing is allowed
  • Reports must not be filed out of personal enmity, business competition, political motives, or to needlessly harass someone
  • Describe real incidents — fictional stories or vague accusations are not acceptable

Any report found to be deliberately false, fabricated, or defamatory will be deleted directly without notice. The TrustCheck BD team reserves the full right to edit, moderate, or cancel any request or report.

Important Warning

Let Honesty Be Behind Every Report You File

TrustCheck BD was built to protect people from genuine scams. Knowingly filing a fake or fabricated report to frame someone is a serious offence, and it causes real harm to people.

  • Falsely accusing someone causes irreparable damage to their social reputation, livelihood, and peace of mind
  • Fake reports corrupt our database and mislead those who rely on this site to make decisions
  • Profiles that submit false reports will be permanently banned, along with their IP address
  • If any content is proven to be deliberately fraudulent, TrustCheck BD will assist law enforcement agencies with all relevant information under the country's applicable cyber laws

Verification Process

Every report submitted to TrustCheck BD is reviewed by our moderation team through a defined internal process. A 'Verified' or 'Reviewed' badge on a report means that, at the time of review, our team considered the incident reliable based on the supporting evidence.

The verification status is entirely our editorial assessment—it is not a substitute for a legal ruling or an official investigation. We are not a court or a judicial body.

If new information or reliable evidence emerges later, the verification status of any report may be changed, cancelled, or downgraded. A change in status does not mean the earlier report was fake.

TrustCheck BD cannot provide a 100% guarantee of the future behaviour or reliability of any person or online shop listed on the site. Users are always requested to use their own judgement and discretion before any transaction.

Strictly Prohibited Activities

The following activities are strictly prohibited on the TrustCheck BD platform. Breaking these rules will result in your access being blocked immediately, and legal action will be taken if necessary.

Harmful Behaviour

  • Deliberately submitting fake, fabricated, or staged reports against a person or business
  • Threatening or attempting to blackmail anyone within the platform or through submitted content
  • Impersonating another user, a genuine business page, or a TrustCheck BD team member to deceive others
  • Submitting a report on behalf of a victim without their permission or explicit consent

Misuse of the Platform

  • Posting unwanted spam, promotional links, or your own advertising content on the site
  • Attempting to steal data from the site using any kind of bot, script, crawler, or automated tool
  • Attempting to find bugs or vulnerabilities in our servers or security systems without permission
  • Doing anything that places excessive load on our servers or the site's infrastructure

Unlawful Acts

  • Using our platform to conduct or conceal any illegal activity
  • Uploading any content that violates Bangladesh's applicable cyber security laws or any other law
  • Leaking someone's highly personal information, such as home or family details, on the internet without their consent (Doxxing)
  • Sharing anything that infringes the copyright, trademark, or intellectual property of TrustCheck BD or any other third party

Content Ownership

You will always retain full ownership of all the text, descriptions, and uploaded screenshots you submit.

However, by submitting a report into the system, you grant TrustCheck BD a royalty-free license to store, display, and review it, so that we can run the site smoothly and protect others from fraud.

If the content is removed at your request, this license automatically ends — though the record may be retained in the backend database as required by law for legal audit or compliance purposes.

TrustCheck BD will never sell any file or personal information you submit to any third-party company for commercial purposes.

Intellectual Property & Rights

Every element of the TrustCheck BD platform is protected by copyright and intellectual property law. The following rights are strictly reserved.

  • The 'TrustCheck BD' name, logo, branding, and visual design are our registered trademarks — using them without permission is strictly prohibited
  • The site's source code, design layout, and user interface (UI) are protected by copyright law
  • Our own verification methodology, risk-scoring algorithm, and scam trend analysis are confidential business formulas (Trade Secrets)
  • This database of scams collected from across Bangladesh is an original creative work protected by law
  • For non-commercial public awareness purposes, you may share the links to our public reports anywhere

Platform Availability

We make every effort to keep TrustCheck BD running 24 hours a day, but it is not possible to provide any legal guarantee that the site will remain fully uninterrupted at all times.

We may push scheduled maintenance or updates at any time to improve the site's quality, fix security bugs, or for legal reasons. Where possible, we will announce downtime in advance.

In case of a sudden technical fault or server outage, our engineering team will work to bring the site back online as quickly as possible.

TrustCheck BD will not be liable for any temporary inconvenience caused by scheduled or sudden downtime.

Limitation of Liability

TrustCheck BD publishes information solely for public awareness and to reduce the risk of online fraud. Treat all content and verified reports on the site as a reference guide, not as a final legal ruling.

You are fully responsible for any financial or personal decision you make based on information from the site. TrustCheck BD will not bear liability for any loss resulting from a wrong decision.

In accordance with applicable law, TrustCheck BD will in no way be liable for any direct or indirect financial loss, business loss, or damage to reputation resulting from use of the platform.

However, in the case of proven negligence or wilful misconduct by our team, necessary measures will be taken in accordance with compliance law.

Before any major decision or transaction, we especially encourage everyone to use their own judgement alongside the site's information and verify the facts through multiple sources.

Privacy & Use of Data

Protecting the privacy of your personal information is our first priority. We process exactly as much data as is needed to operate the site and serve you—no more.

By using TrustCheck BD, you consent to the data collection and storage practices described in our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy is an integral part of these terms.

Account Blocks or Restrictions

To protect the integrity of the platform and the safety of ordinary users, TrustCheck BD reserves the full right to impose restrictions on any profile.

  • If you break our rules or policies, your account may be suspended temporarily or permanently
  • Depending on the severity of the offence, only certain features (such as filing complaints) may be disabled, or access to the entire site may be blocked
  • Any content or screenshot that violates our guidelines will be removed without prior notice
  • When blocking access, we try to inform the user of the reason, but in some cases it may be kept confidential in the interest of a legal investigation or review process
  • If you believe your account was blocked by mistake, you can appeal through our support form

We may update these terms at any time due to changes in the site's features, legal requirements, or operational rules.

Updated terms take effect as soon as they are published at this URL, unless another specific date is stated.

We suggest checking this page regularly. Using the site after a change means you have happily accepted the new rules.

If a major change comes that directly affects users' rights, we will clearly notify you through the dashboard or a notice.

Contact Information

If you have any questions, queries, or objections about these terms and conditions, you can contact our legal wing directly.

Our dedicated team reviews every request carefully and replies by email within 3–5 business days. When sending a message about platform misuse or an urgent matter, be sure to select 'Urgent' on the form.
