Why it's important to only hire a registered/licensed private investigator.

We have been receiving a large number of complaints from people who have been scammed by fake private investigators. Many of these have been found online via Gumtree etc. The reason people have given for hiring these fraudsters was that their rates are far cheaper than legitimate registered private investigators. Many of the complaints involve paying money upfront and never seeing the person again, blackmailing the client that they will tell the person being investigated that they are being investigated and going to the person being investigated and offering them the information about them being investigated for a fee.

The scams sometimes involve large sums of money, we have seen amounts in excess of R50,000.

Here are some tips to consider when hiring a private investigator. Following these simple guidelines will help you hire an investigator or agency or company that provides quality service.

We conduct all types of investigations; Criminal Investigations, Civil Investigations, Cyber Investigations, Matrimonial Investigations and more.
