Got a message that feels wrong? Paste it or photograph it, and get a clear answer in your own language.
Not sure if that message is real? Check it before you answer.
TAAKAD is free. Every essential scam check costs nothing, no account needed for your first check. Pro is an optional extra, never a requirement.
Paste it or photograph it. TAAKAD reads a suspicious message, link, job offer, investment pitch, invoice or news claim (some types with PRO) and answers in plain language: what it looks like, why, and what to do next.
WHAT YOU CAN CHECK
• Messages: WhatsApp, SMS, email, direct messages
• Links and shortened URLs
• Screenshots and photos of a message or document
• QR codes
• Job offers and "work from home" pitches (with PRO)
• Investment and trading offers (with PRO)
• News claims and viral posts
• Invoices, contracts, online stores and companies (with PRO)
HOW IT ANSWERS
Every answer tells you what the thing is, what it is not, and what to do about it. When the evidence is thin, TAAKAD says so instead of guessing. An honest "this cannot be confirmed" is more useful to you than false confidence, and it is the answer you will sometimes get.
WHAT TAAKAD DOES NOT DO
• It does not read your messages, your contacts or your call log. Nothing is scanned in the background. You choose what to check, one item at a time.
• It does not promise to catch everything, because no tool can. TAAKAD gives you reasoning and evidence so you can decide for yourself. It is not a substitute for your bank, the police, or a lawyer.
BUILT FOR THIS REGION
TAAKAD understands the scams people here actually receive: the delivery-fee message, the fake job on WhatsApp, the impersonated bank, the investment group that only takes crypto. It answers in the language you use in the app.
LANGUAGES
Arabic and English, plus Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
PRIVACY, PLAINLY
You do not need an account to run your first check. What you submit is sent to our AI providers for analysis and is not stored as content in our database; Anthropic and OpenAI may retain inputs and outputs for up to 30 days under their standard abuse-monitoring terms. You can delete your account, and everything tied to it, from inside the app.
