SCAMS AROUND HOLIDAYS AND HOW PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS CAN HELP
The big holidays are upon us again. As is usual for many of us, it is a time of feasting, merriment, sharing good wishes, spending time with family and friends, and relaxing a little bit more. While these happy preparations and moments are going on, certain people are lurking around waiting for their next victim of fraud. They may not be around you physically, but they are online and can reach us through our phones and computers.
Around this time of the year, perpetrators of scams that could approach you physically include the fake house-to-house salesman. In the guise of selling or advertising products, they try to assess you and your house for a possible break-in. There is also the “Grabbers,” who steal your property while you’re distracted at the store or station. They sometimes plant the distraction in the form of a partner who diverts your attention.
Online, you have scammers who try to get your personal information through in fake gift items, fake sales, and fake refunds. While you can’t be too careful, you should be particular about where you share your personal information.
Should you end up being a victim, you should contact a skilled private investigator who will help track down the fraudster as best as possible. Qualified private investigators are equipped with the necessary skills needed to apprehend scammers online and physically. Private investigators are well fitting for the job as the government authorities may lack the resources including the time to handle such cases. In a face-to-face confrontation with scammers, a good private investigator may try to get as much background as possible about the culprit, and hopefully get enough information to have law enforcement take serious interest which is always the second part of a difficult battle of getting payback from scammers/fraudsters.
Happy Holidays!
