Start here
Choose what you need to know
Most cases begin with one of four questions. Each path leads to the research that fits it.
Verify a Person
Establish whether someone appears consistent with the identity they present online.
Investigate an Online Relationship
Research a dating or long-distance connection before travel, commitment or money.
Investigate a Scam
Research a suspected romance scam, fake seller, fake investment or impersonation.
Check a Business
Verify whether a company appears to exist, who stands behind it and what is on record.
Online dating & identity
Online Dating & Identity Investigations
Long-distance and online relationships often develop before anyone has met in person. Verification answers a narrow, practical question: does this person appear to be who they say they are?
Research can compare the identity presented to you against publicly available information: profile history, usernames, images that appear elsewhere, claimed employment, claimed location and publicly visible company links. Where details do not line up, the report says so plainly.
I want to verify someone
Preventative verification before travelling, committing or sending anything of value.
I think something is wrong
You have noticed inconsistencies, avoidance of video calls, or requests for money.
Scam investigations
When something has already gone wrong
Suspected fraud cases are handled as evidence work: what was claimed, what can be corroborated, what contradicts itself and what the available material actually supports.
- Romance and long-distance relationship fraud
- Fake investment or trading identities, including crypto payment requests
- Impersonation of real people, companies or professionals
- Suspicious sellers, fake shops and fraudulent websites
- Cross-border online scams involving several countries
No investigator can promise money recovery, arrest or prosecution. What a professional investigation provides is a documented, structured account of what the available evidence supports — usable for your own decisions, your bank, your adviser or a report to the authorities.
Business
Business Verification & Due Diligence
Cross-border trade, investment and partnership decisions are often made on the basis of a website and a few emails. Verification checks what is actually on public record.
- Company Verification
- Whether the company appears to exist, public registration information, directors, address consistency, domain and website history, and obvious inconsistencies. From $499.
- Business Due Diligence
- Deeper research into ownership, management, connected entities, corporate history, publicly available litigation, regulatory, sanctions and insolvency information, and adverse media. From $1,500.

Verify before you pay
A transfer is easy to send and hard to undo. Verification happens before the payment, not after it.
Before sending money to someone you met online, paying an unfamiliar overseas company, investing with a new partner or committing to a major transaction, the relevant facts can usually be checked first.
- An international supplier requesting an advance payment
- An unfamiliar online seller or marketplace contact
- A dating partner asking for financial help
- A new business partner or investment relationship

International
International investigations
You may live in one country while the person, company or transaction involves another. Cases are assessed on a cross-border basis rather than assuming everything sits in one jurisdiction.
What is publicly available differs from country to country, and so does the language of the sources involved. Country pages explain the kinds of cross-border cases that typically involve each country and what that means for research.
Investigations are conducted remotely. There are no local offices and no claims of investigators on the ground in any country.
International investigationsMethodology
Investigation methodology
Open-source intelligence, public records, corporate records, archived web content, public professional information and cross-reference analysis — followed by source verification, corroboration and human review. Each finding carries a confidence level.
There is no access to private accounts, private messages or restricted databases, and none is claimed.
Confidentiality
Discreet case handling
Cases are handled discreetly, only necessary information is collected, report access is controlled, and no client case is ever published, quoted or used as a testimonial.
Case communication happens through the contact details you choose to provide.

Questions clients ask first
What can actually be established from the information I already have?
That depends on what you can supply. A name, a photograph, a username, a phone number, an email address, a company name or a website all create different research routes. Your case assessment tells you what looks researchable before you commit to anything.
Is this a database lookup service?
No. Automated lookup tools return raw records without context. Every case here is researched and reviewed by a person, sources are cross-checked against each other, and findings are reported with an explicit confidence assessment.
Can you guarantee you will identify the person?
No, and no responsible investigator can. Some cases resolve clearly, some resolve partially, and some establish only that a claimed identity cannot be corroborated. That last outcome is often decision-relevant in itself.
Do you work internationally?
Yes. Investigations are conducted remotely and regularly involve people, companies or transactions connected to more than one country. What is publicly available varies by jurisdiction, and the assessment explains what that means for your case.
Will the person I ask about know about the investigation?
Research is based on lawful publicly available information and does not involve contacting the subject. Case handling is confidential and cases are never published or used as marketing material.
How do I start?
Submit your case through the case assessment form. You will be asked what you need investigated, which countries are involved, what information you already have and what you want to establish. Contact is made through the details you provide.
