Alphabetical Listing of Services
Address Verification & History
(more info)
You supply the name and last known address, and we supply the
current address and possible history of previous addresses. Not all
addresses have a phone number associated with the record. Additional
services are available to physically verify that the party is currently
living at the address.
Art Theft Investigations (more info)
We will investigate your art theft loss and attempt to recover it.
Please contact us for additional requirements and information. A
anonymous lost or stolen artwork database is under development which
will allow victims to post pictures and descriptions of lost or stolen
art.
Asset Location & Recovery (more info)
We will only conduct asset investigations for
legal purposes. Asset investigations are used to support or compliment
civil or criminal proceedings which result in court ordered requests for
information (subpoenas) or restraining and attachment notices. In the
case of a business investigation where internal fraud is suspected, the
company may choose not to pursue legal channels but handle the results
of the investigation according to company policy.
Background Checks (more info)
We provide both civil and criminal background
investigations. Frequently, it is advisable to run both concurrently. We
also conduct business and corporate background investigations. We take
extra care to establish that the background information is accurate and
current. Unlike inexpensive 3rd party data providers, we spend extra
time and effort to establish a person's identity before releasing highly
private and personal information.
A civil records search can reveal the following information: judgments,
liens, civil suits, tax liens, bankruptcy, and child support judgments.
Civil record searches can be run at the local, state, national, and
federal levels. A criminal records search can uncover the current and
past criminal history of the subject. Such records generally indicate
the date of arrest, case number, charge, and the disposition. County
criminal records can be accessed for all 50 states. On the state level,
there are approximately 32 states that allow investigators access to
their records. State criminal record searches are more time consuming
and consequently more expense to investigate than county records. We
also conduct business background investigations and searches. There are
virtually no restrictions in regard to obtaining background and
financial credit information on businesses and corporations as opposed
to individuals. A business background investigation would reveal such
items as legal business name, size, type, ownership, principal officers,
business locations, holdings, interests, identify assets and
liabilities, suppliers, vendors, employees, customers, gross sales,
credit profiles, and litigation issues.

Fraud Investigations
(more info)
Generally, fraud is any deceitful or dishonest conduct, involving
acts or omissions or the making of false statements, orally or in
writing, with the object of obtaining money or other benefit from, or
evading a liability. In general terms fraud is the use of deceit to
obtain an advantage or avoid an obligation. Fraud can cover a wide
subject area and can be perpetrated by many diverse groups affecting
both businesses and individuals alike. Most kinds of fraud are defined
as internal or external for businesses. Individuals are mostly affected
by many types of consumer fraud. Some examples of consumer fraud are
insurance fraud, identity theft, computer fraud, contractor fraud, mail
theft, and telephone fraud. Internal fraud is usually perpetrated from
within an organization by employees and can involve false accounting,
direct theft of cash, payroll fraud, theft of intellectual property,
false expense claims, collusion with customers & suppliers, inventory
loses, and reporting of excessive overtime. Some cases of internal fraud
have collusion from outside third parties. Many cases of internal fraud
go unreported because of the potential embarrassment and risk liability
involved. Frequently, fraud investigations may incorporate other
investigative services such as background investigation, asset
investigation, social security investigations, people locates, and
surveillance.

diligence by having a objective third party evaluate your expectations.

Our typical investigation would determine the claimant's current
activities, any full or part-time employment held since the date of
loss, dependents, household income, health status, civil or criminal
litigations, and recreational or strenuous activities in or around the
home. We can also check to determine whether the claimant has had any
previous workers compensation claims and obtain a copy of the claimant's
driving history.
We can also conduct surveillance to further ascertain social, employment
and recreational activities. The client will be provided with a full,
detailed report relative to the findings of our investigation.
