Can an Identity Theft Investigation Help You Out?
In some cases, a private investigator can help you get to the bottom of an identiy theft case. For example, you would be amazed at how much of your personal information can be learned by opening your mail. Linked Investigations recently worked a surveillance case in order to catch mail thiefs in the act.
Our clients, the victim, noticed certain important pieces of mail seemed to be missing. He was suspiscious and hired us for surveillance services to see if his suspicions were correct. Not only were they correct, we were able to catch the criminals in the act and alert the local authorities.
