Due Diligence, the most important small thing you should carry out before committing to a large financial commitment. I have just completed a trace case on a NZ business to be able to serve Dispute Tribunal Proceedings. I am currently unable to provide specific details as there is a further civil case pending. I have just handed the case disclosure to my client's lawyer. In short, the director shareholder of this company does not reside at his given address, and the company is not working from the given address in the NZ Company register. The director is known by six aliases and has had more than five residential addresses in the past 2 years, being kicked out of each for unpaid rent. Since 2018 he has been the director/shareholder of four different named companies offering the same service in a prefabricated building service, he even owned a specialist car company, and he is supported by his partner. This company owes my client $17,000 for uncompleted work. The work was meant to be completed in early 2022 and has been paid for in full. The work has since been completed by another builder, who was fantastic, and paid for by my client again.
Due Diligence would have avoided all this.

Look at this email I received, I have screenshot and cropped it. The address bar is highlighted for you to see as the first indication that this is a scam. Please comment on the remaining red flags that you can find.

With scams in the limelight lately, I have had enquiries about emails sent where people believe that the email is from an authentic business such as a bank. Here they are told they need to reset/verify their account as it has been identified and flagged as breached or their details have been hacked and leaked, now you have all had similar emails from someone allegedly representing a financial business. Firstly, you need to call the correct business for clarification. Secondly look carefully at the email address in the header, it will either be a random email address that has nothing to do with the sender, so delete or block it, or it will have the same email address as the business it is claiming to represent, look at the letters in the address and you may well find that one of those letters is a different font from that of the other letters. This is a common hacker trademark that fools most people as there is truly little attention placed on the letters in the email address. If you are in doubt do not click any links or reset password buttons. Carry out your own due diligence.

Just to let you know about a couple of changes made recently within my investigation business. Firstly, I changed my email address and, well, that proved to be a mammoth task. It is surprising how you rely on your email address for various reasons. The second change is that I have introduced a payment solutions policy. This will provide those individual clients with a payment plan that will allow their concern to be investigated, however this Payment Solution will not apply to business/company clients.
Soon I will be introducing a new service to help with collecting company overdue invoices or debt that has not yet been allocated to a debt management company. Debt management companies are not always the best answer. I offer an individualized method and informative approach that will have a better result and prove less stressful for the debtor.
