Another Happy Client.

We were hired two years ago to locate a defendant so they could be served. We did so, but the client had oter pressing matters and did not proceed with the action. Leap forward 2 years, and they attempt service via Constables but they were unable to serve the summons. Can we make sure subject is still at the address we provided. We do so, and serve the summons on defendant personally on our first attempt. Process Service is not a Monday- Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM endeavour. It requires persistence and common sense.

It’s that time of year again! Frosty mornings , Christmas 🎄 lights are twinkling, and the Fraudsters are targeting their victims! Important things to consider: The IRS does not telephone or email you! No Federal, State or local government gets paid in gift cards. No new employer who has hired you on-line needs for you to purchase a laptop, cellphone or any other electronic equipment that is shipped to them. Your grandchild doesn’t need bail money! No company, bank, credit card issuer needs you to login to your account to “verify it’s you!” That “wonderful person”you’ve met online isn’t on an oil rig in the North Sea, or the Gulf of Mexico, they aren’t an engineer in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Ukraine who can’t leave until they pay their medical bill, helicopter bill, or a tax on the money they inherited before they may leave the country! Once you’ve sent that money the chance of it being recovered are very small. The time to check someone out is always before you have sent the money. Whether it’s an investment advisor you’ve been introduced to by an old friend, or someone you’ve met online, to a contractor that’s going to renovate your home, have them checked out before you get burned!

Thorough Background Investigations cost a good deal more then the consumer is being lead to believe by these online platforms. Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a “National” criminal record search available online to the consumer.

The nation’s largest online marketplace for babysitters and other caregivers, will pay $1 million in civil penalties and restitution to settle accusations over misrepresented background checks and auto-renewed subscriptions without getting consumers’ consent.

The wave of the future.

MacKenzie Fegan went to the airport last week. As with normal flights, she was expecting at some point to present her boarding card in order to get on her plane. However, she found all she had to do was look at a camera, and at no point was asked for her pass.
