Summary
There is no doubt that email has become one of the most heavily used electronic tools of the last decade. Many people, especially those who work in business or own a company, send and receive in excess of 100 emails every day. For them, email is essential for getting things done, and they rely heavily on the ability to access, read, and send emails without being bothered by spam mail or other nuisances. When an email account get hacked, spammed, or used as a means of threatening or harassing, it can be extremely disruptive to business and life in general. Private investigators handle these kinds of cases on a daily basis, helping clients reclaim their email by finding the source of the problem.
VIS recently solved an email harassment case, in which a man had been receiving threats and being harassed through his email account. The man ran a business and was dependent upon his email to conduct business, fill orders, and send invoices. The threatening emails had begun to disrupt his ability to efficiently run his business, so he came to VIS to begin a private investigation for email harassment. VIS was asked to find out who was sending the emails, with the goal of stopping any future harassment from the sender.
Conclusion
Once hired by the businessman, VIS worked on investigating the activity and content of the threatening and harassing emails being sent. The emails had all come from one yahoo email account and VIS walked the client through the simple process of extracting the email header over the phone. An email header contains electronic data about the sender, their IP address, the route the email took, and the receiver. By having the client extract this information himself, the client was able keep his email password private. The client had limited computer skills, but this posed no problem as VIS helped him successfully pull the email header in only a few minutes.
Once the header was extracted, VIS identified and traced the originating IP address. The trace led VIS private investigators to a physical address in a different town. All pertinent information gathered during the investigation was reported and delivered to the client in a timely and accountable manner. With the information learned through his private investigation with VIS, the client was able to send a demand letter to the mailing address attached to the IP address. The letter stated that the client would press charges and file for a restraining order if the emails did not stop. Shortly after sending the letter, the client stopped receiving threatening, harassing emails.

A concerned husband solicited our services. He told us that he is beginning to suspect his wife is cheating on him. He expresses his concern to her, and asks her if this is true.
Summary:
A concerned husband solicited our services. He told us that he is beginning to suspect his wife is cheating on him. He expresses his concern to her, and asks her if this is true. The wife vehemently denied she was having an affair, but her peculiar behavior continued. The husband was still suspicious and as a result, began to intercept his wife's emails and text messages. He found she was corresponding with a certain man, and the messages included pledging their love to one another.
One evening the wife told her husband that she had business to conduct in another city, and would be traveling for few days. The city where she was traveling was where the husband believed the boyfriend resided.
The husband needed visual proof that his wife was, in fact, having an affair. When the husband spoke with the Case Analyst at VIS, he told him that if his fears were confirmed, then he would file for divorce and for sole custody of their two children. During the free consultation with the Case Analyst at VIS, the client (with the expert help of the case analyst) determined the best action plan for the situation. Surveillance would be the best way to validate the husband's fears. He could not rely on his wife to be honest about the affair because she had already fervently denied it.
An unfaithful mate is devastating, and suspicions without proof make it even harder to comprehend and move on.
The husband, with the guidance of case manager, provided us with his wife's flight information, including airline, airport, and date and time of travel. The goal was to have a team of investigators positioned at the airport where the wife was to land, and to document if she was meeting her lover.
After the wife's flight arrived, our team took discreet position at all exit points. The woman was greeted by her lover, and they embraced and hugged each other. They continued to walk to the parking area, hand in hand. Our team was able to provide video documentation of the public displays of affection.
Conclusion:
Although the worst fears of the husband had been validated by confirming that his wife had indeed been unfaithful to him, he was very grateful for the precise action that was taken by VIS. With his desire to know the truth, and our commitment, he was able to make a decision that was best for him and his children.
Social networking sites have become breeding grounds for infidelity, and it can be difficult for a concerned husband or wife to determine when to worry about their partner's Internet use or Facebook activity, which is why people often turn to VIS to find out exactly what is going on.
Summary:
In a cheating spouse investigation recently solved by VIS, a concerned wife suspected that her husband was cheating online, using the Internet to meet women and set dates. The client suspected that her husband had several extra-marital relationships being maintained through Facebook, but she did not feel comfortable confronting her husband about his Internet activity. The client does not know her husband's Facebook password, and is unable to access his account on her own.
Conclusion:
VIS was hired to determine if the husband was actually cheating, which was accomplished by investigating the activity on accounts owned by the husband. In an attempt to catch the husband in the act of cheating, we gathered information on the husband's likes and dislikes, which allowed investigators to create a case action plan tailored specifically to the this social networking site and the desires of the husband.
We approached the subject through Facebook utilizing an online cheating decoy. The husband fell for the bait immediately, and within an hour had sent personal messages, initiating an intimate dialogue. The husband was completely unaware of the fact that he was under investigation by VIS, and quickly moved the conversation towards more intimate matters. A romantic date was set, and explicit details about what would happen on the date were shared, leaving no doubt about the intentions of the husband.
During the online conversation, the husband was asked if he was single or married. The husband lied, claiming that he was married but separated, and no longer speaking with his wife. The information collected throughout the investigation, including the Facebook dialogues, was reported and presented to the client in a timely and accountable manner. The client used our report , along with evidences, to move forward with divorce proceedings.
Summary:
In the private investigation field, and as a company, many of our cases deal with couples that are divorcing. VIS is an invaluable part of each client's lives, whether it is in the form of surveillance or hidden asset search. It is becoming all too common that spouses search out our services so they can know the truth.
A woman was divorcing her husband, and she wanted to know what type of financial compensation she was entitled to. The husband claimed to her, their lawyers, and the court, that he did not have any money. The wife knew he was lying, and that their entire life savings could not have disappeared into thin air. She knew he was hiding the money, but where?
The client called VIS and spoke to a Case Analyst for a free consultation. The Case Analyst presented to the client that the easiest way to verify if the subject was hiding money would be to conduct a 'hidden asset investigation' which generally includes searches on property, vehicles, businesses, shares, mutual funds, fixed deposits, cash, gold, etc. The premise of the inquiries that are conducted is to discover current assets a subject may have.
Our objective was to locate any stock, bonds, or additional bank accounts that the subject may have. A comprehensive bank search revealed that the subject had few undisclosed bank accounts with a substantial amount of money. A nationwide search was conducted in an attempt to locate any stocks or bonds. This search proved to be the most lucrative because the subject had a considerable amount of money invested in mutual funds.
Conclusion:
It is disconcerting, to put it mildly, that a wife cannot expect her husband to be honest. The information that VIS discovered was given to the client, and in turn to her lawyer. Her lawyer was able to provide the court with documentation that what the subject reported as assets was false. Because our private investigation work and findings can be used in a court of law, the judge ruled in favor of giving 50% of the assets that VIS uncovered to the wife.
Summary:
A distraught mother of two contacted VIS out of desperation. She was in the process of a divorce, and had been fighting with her husband over future custody arrangements. In retaliation, her husband threatened to take the children out of the country and begin a new life. The mother's panic mounted because he was scheduled to have the children for the weekend.
It was determined that conducting surveillance would be the best course of action. We decided to arrange for two-agent surveillance teams, consisting of two surveillance specialists to be placed on the father at all times. The investigators were instructed to capture video and photo documentation.
The surveillance began at the father's place of employment, and he was followed in order to maintain constant visual contact. The surveillance tail began as he left his work to pick up his children (allowed by the court ordered visitation arrangements), with visual contact being maintained by both agents. The investigators are trained to rotate positions of visual contact with the subject. This type of surveillance measure reduces the exposure the investigators experience with the subject. The investigators were able to document the father each time he left the house with the children and followed him to various locations, such as the market, the video store, etc. Constant communications were kept with VIS base operations. In the event the subject gave any indication of leaving the country, investigations base was ready to deploy a backup team and coordinate with the client and law enforcement agency. Video documentation was kept as a precaution: if the father attempted to leave the country, the client would have solid proof. This type of mobile surveillance would provide the police and other legal entities with powerful evidence if the father did in fact try to flee the country.
The case manager assigned to the case gave the client multiple surveillance status updates over the weekend. He was diligent in keeping in constant communications with his investigative team as to the father's movements. As a result of a dedicated surveillance team of VIS investigators, in conjunction with the VIS base operations, case manager, case analyst, and a caring mother, her fears of losing her children had been allayed and piece of mind was achieved. This allowed her to comply with the court order and reduced the chances of a much more adverse scenario.
A husband and wife were in the midst of a heated divorce and custody battle. The husband was ordered to pay child support to his wife. However, he responded to the court that he was unable to do so because he did not have the financial means necessary to comply with such order.
Summary:
Divorce and custody issues are always a very sensitive subject and need to be approached with kid like gloves. It is imperative that emotions remain neutral and objective when determining whether there is cause for concern. A husband and wife were in the midst of a heated divorce and custody battle. The husband was ordered to pay child support to his wife. However, he responded to the court that he was unable to do so because he did not have the financial means necessary to comply with such order.
The wife was suspicious that her husband would not be able to comply with a court order of paying child support, as he had worked previously during their marriage and his father owned a health food store inside of a fitness gym. The client wanted evidence that would substantiate that her husband was either able to work or was already doing so.
A recon investigation was devised to go to the subject's fathers store and observe whether he was there. The investigator arrived at the gym wearing his workout clothes and proceeded to the treadmill that was in plain sight of the store. He spent 45 minutes jogging at a rhythmic place until he spotted a male matching the subject's description. The investigator then proceeded to the health food stand, with his covert camera watch. The investigator began immediately video taping the subject with his watch, and documented his actually working at the store.
Conclusion:
The client was grateful to VIS for their tenacious investigation, and presented the court with the necessary video evidence that her estranged husband was not only capable of working, but he was working and therefore able to comply with the financial aspect of child support.
