What began as a routine drive-thru transaction quickly turned into a terrifying encounter for a barista in Auburn, Washington.

Surveillance footage captured the moment a customer allegedly grabbed the employee through the drive-thru window while armed with a looped zip tie device. Fortunately, the barista was able to break free and escape before the suspect fled the scene.

Investigators later identified and arrested the suspect after members of the public provided tips in response to images released by authorities.

Fake allegations can happen to you...

Former bachelor contestant accused of being pregnant with her twins. It's crazy how people will do whatever it takes to make that lie a reality. This woman made fake pregnancy tests, doctor notes, and more just to prove she was right when all of this was a lie.

Not a lot of people talk about this happening to men, but it is very much real. Men think situations like this can't and won't happen to them, which is completely false!

Be careful who you trust and don't ignore when something seems off.

If you might be an a situation like this or similar, contact us today and we can help you uncover the truth!

You have to know this!

Most people don’t realize how many mistakes show up on background checks until it affects a job, apartment, or loan approval.

As a licensed PI, here’s what we always tell people:
✔️ Employers and landlords need your written consent before running a report
✔️ You have the right to request a copy of your background check
✔️ Errors and outdated information happen more often than you think
✔️ You can legally dispute inaccurate records

The smartest thing you can do is know what’s on your report before someone else does.

That “too good to be true” job offer could cost you more than just your time.

Scammers are getting smarter, fake company logos, polished job listings, and promises of high pay with little experience required. Before you send personal information to any employer, slow down and verify everything.

🚩 Quick red flags to watch for:
• Recruiters using personal Gmail/Yahoo emails instead of a company domain
• Requests for banking info or your Social Security number before an interview
• Remote jobs offering unusually high pay with no experience
• No verifiable office address, website, or online presence
• Job descriptions copied word-for-word across multiple companies

If something feels off, trust your instincts and do your research first. A few extra minutes of checking could save you from identity theft, financial loss, or worse.

Follow Peterson Investigations for more real cases, scam awareness, and personal safety tips. If you’re unsure about something suspicious, send us a message for a second opinion.
