Take the survey

Welcome to the Chekka blog

We're building Chekka to help everyday people spot online scam risk before they act. Here's what to expect from this blog.

Chekka is an online risk-checking tool for Australian and New Zealand consumers. We help people spot scam risk on marketplace listings, suspicious messages, and risky links before they trust, click, pay, or reply.

This blog will cover three things:

What we're learning

We're talking to people, running surveys, and reading every scam report we can find. The patterns are clearer than you might expect. We'll share what's working, what's not, and what surprised us.

How to spot common scams

Practical guides on the signals that show up across marketplace scams, phishing messages, rental fraud, romance scams, and more. Plain language. No jargon. Real examples.

What we're building

Behind-the-scenes notes as we develop Chekka, including what we tried and abandoned. If you're early to the product, this is where you'll see what's coming next.
