Here are 20 reasons you might hire a private investigator by Appexx Investigations
(in no particular order).

1. Business background check

A business, like a person, has a past and a culture and interacts with many people every day. However what you see may not truly mirror what the business is all about. Private investigators can research and investigate and deliver evidence that you’re doing business with a reputable entity.

2. Child custody case

You’re probably looking for tips on how to win custody of your child. To win a child custody case, you must uncover facts that are compelling – and admissible — in court. Private investigators can serve as a witness in a case and prove facts that are tough to prove on your own. Even a potentially difficult case can turn into a simple one at trial with the right facts and evidence.

3. International due diligence

If you’re thinking about investing overseas, you will face an increased risk for fraud. Professional investigators verify the company or individual with real due diligence, to verify the operations, registration, legal status, criminal and court records, reputation, profitability, and more.

4. Identity theft risk

Identity theft happens when a person’s personal information is stolen and the criminal then commits fraud or theft under that person’s identity. Unfortunately, investigators say identify theft is only getting worse — millions of dollars are lost every year as a result of identity theft – and hundreds of dollars and countless hours are spent trying to repair victims’ credit. Private investigators can help determine who stole your identity and can create a report for you to take to law enforcement. More importantly, expert investigators can advise how not to be a victim.

5. Dating background checks

Whether you met your Mr. or Ms. Perfect online or offline, these days it pays to be cautious. How do you know the individual you met over the internet, or at a bar, is truly who he or she claims to be? You don’t. Clients rely on private investigation companies to conduct a comprehensive dating background check that verifies education, employment, address, criminal and court records, ID or passport, date of birth and more. Investigators also screen the case for fraud and identify risks.

6. Employment background check

If you hiring internationally or even locally, false CV and backgrounds do occur and put your company at risk. Companies who are serious about protecting themselves and hiring only the best take these verifications seriously. Checking criminal records alone is not a prudent verification method, and certainly not an investigation. Professional investigators verify employment candidates in detail, and determine if the individual is competent and qualified, before you commit.

7. Personal injury investigation

A private investigator knows the ways to win your personal injury lawsuit. He or she can find key witnesses and other information essential to win the case. A skilled professional can find photographs of the crash when the crash report is incomplete. Make sure to obtain the police transcription of the 911 calls too – sometimes he or she is the only witness.

8. Welfare investigation

Private investigators can identify welfare fraud, such as under-reported income or abuse of other government assistance problems like WIC. It’s a P.I.’s job to identify all sources of income — he or she can identify all occupants of a home to ensure that the reported income is accurate. With more Americans than ever on government handouts, these types of cases are sometimes needed.

9. International asset search

Divorces and legal cases are so common today, they are almost hard to avoid. But, there are other reasons when an asset might be important as well, such as part of a merger or international due diligence to verify a buyer or potential partner. Lawyers and individuals and companies use private investigators to find assets overseas, both bank accounts and physical property.

10. Divorce and family law investigations

If you suspect your spouse is cheating or hiding important information or assets from you, may want to hire a private investigator. There are ways to tell if your spouse is hiding assets and a reputable private investigator can access records such as bank accounts you don’t know about or follow a spouse who has become distant to see if he or she is cheating. Before you hire someone, remember that a private investigator can help your attorney uncover evidence, if and when needed.

11. Infidelity investigations

Not knowing if your spouse is having an affair is a painful and devastating thing. Private investigators help with these unfortunate situations every day. A P.I. can discreetly find out facts and information and uncover the truth so you know whether or not your spouse is guilty of infidelity. There is no evidence like photograph and video evidence from surveillance footage on your partner.

12. Insurance fraud claims

Insurance fraud happens when an act is committed with the intent to obtain a benefit in which a person is not otherwise entitled. False insurance claims are filed with the intent to defraud an insurance provider and they cost billions of dollars each year. Insurance fraud claims range from stretching the truth to committing intentional damages or injury. Private investigators can help identify the truth. We photograph those suffering from leg injuries playing basketball, and so on. In some cases, investigators may even photograph a living person, who is supposed to be deceased!

13. Stalker/predator investigations

Each year around 1.5 million people are stalked in the U.S. It’s a problem in this country. For people who believe they are a victim, it’s time to take action before the situation spirals out of control. These crimes are often ignored and become a losing battle – but private investigators can help stop the threat and get stalkers prosecuted. In these cases, it’s important to also work with law enforcement.

14. Fraud/embezzlement investigations

You may wonder, should your company use background check investigations? The answer is yes — it can help prevent future problems. All too often, businesses find themselves in a situation where assets are missing, books weren’t kept accurately or bribes have been taken. P.I.s can determine if assets were fictitious, improper payments were made or whether there were other misrepresentations. Private investigators can also track down the guilty party through background checks, and asset searches uncover the money trail.

15. Criminal investigations

Due to law enforcement agencies with limited resources, and higher rates of global crime, especially pertaining to the internet, it is common when police and law enforcement fail to investigate your case. In international cases, law enforcement and governments face jurisdictional problems, and receive hundreds or thousands of similar complaints. So, to get the help you need when no help is to be found, a reputable international investigation company is a great choice to work with your attorney.

16. Romance scam risk

Online dating is a booming industry, but with it has come exponential cases of fraud and scams. Posting profiles and photos is simply and fast, and anyone can do it – even criminals hoping to scam you. Victims of romance scams lose more than money. Victims are often devastated financially and emotionally.Comprehensive background checks by real investigators are the best prevention to avoid dating scams. The truth is, anyone can be a victim and no dating site is 100% immune from romance scams. Private investigators verify the truth behind the profile.

17. Document verification

Let’s say your case is fairly simple, and you have a copy of a passport, ID or documents that you need to verify the authenticity of. Despite your efforts, there is no way for your to verify if the document is real, and it may not even be in a language you can read. Luckily, international investigators verify passports, identifications and documents from around the world on a daily basis.

18. Pre Marital Checks

Marriage is a big deal, especially if it involves a foreign bride or groom. Don’t start the visa process without knowing the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! An expert investigator can verify everything you know or think you know about an individual, before the wedding.

19. Investment scam risk

Investment scams these days, unfortunately, are a dime a dozen. Fraudulent websites, false companies and endless possibilities now target individuals and companies. High risk fraud zones are in countries like China and the United Arab Emirates, etc, but the threat is now global thanks to the internet. It’s more important than ever to properly verify with international due diligence.

20. Safe international hiring

For companies hiring overseas, private investigators who specialize in international cases can help a company or client develop a customized strategy to properly verify candidates. This goes beyond your standard international background checks, and can be a great solution for companies and individuals who need to know what they should verify, based on their unique situation and risk.

A professional private investigator offers many reliable services to help in many situations – from criminal cases to infidelity to background checks. Just make sure you do your homework and deal with a company you can trust, with highly trained investigators on the ground where you need them. Services offered and quality of services vary dramatically from one company to the next.

Appexx Investigations would like to hear your side of the article on cheating. Would you want to know? Would you tell a friend if there better half was cheating.

Red Flags that HE is Cheating

Gomez says that men are masters of disguise when it comes to cheating and go out of their way to hide affairs. Some signs that point to a cheating man include:

1. A dip in sex drive. When a man is interested sexually in another person, his desire for his spouse or significant other may wane.

2. Changes in appearance. A man who's trying to impress a new love interest may spend more time at the gym, buy new clothes or spend more time worrying about his overall appearance.

3. Missing money. If there's money in the household budget that is unaccounted for, it could point to cheating -- particularly if it's untraceable through credit or debit card records.

4. Tight grip on cell phone. A man who's engaging in infidelity may suddenly add a lock passcode to his phone and keep it firmly in his possession. "I had one client whose husband slept with his cell phone locked, under his pillow," recalls Gomez. This paranoia is a sure sign that he's hiding something on his phone.

5. Car changes. If there's unaccounted mileage, receipts or belongings in a man's car, he could be cheating and keeping the evidence out of the house. Another red flag: a passenger seat moved to a different position.

Red Flags that SHE is Cheating

Because the ways that men and women cheat differ, guys often miss some of the signs of infidelity in their wives, fiances and girlfriends. Gomez says that when it comes to women, the ways they cover up cheating include:

1. Extra time with "girlfriends." While men try to cover their tracks, women worry more about the back story of their cheating ways. A common sign that Gomez sees of cheating in women is when they suddenly spend a lot of extra time with girlfriends -- or at least say that they are. "I've even seen people stopping at a girlfriend's house at the end of a date and then posting pics of them together on Facebook," says Gomez. "Maybe they see the friend for 10 minutes only, but they work hard to make it look like they've been with that person the whole time."

2. Increase in exercise. While men tend to focus on overall appearance, women are pretty gym-centric when it comes to cheating. It could be a meet-up place for a new love interest or could simply reflect the woman's desire to look her best for her new suitor.

3. New email accounts. Women work harder than men to cover their cheating tracks. Instead of simply hiding or deleting emails, women are more likely to create an entirely new account for email communications with a significant other and then not share that address with anyone else. "Women tend to spend more time planning out cheating, and aren't as likely to encounter one-night stands," says Gomez.

4. Girls nights out. Of course not every woman that goes out on the town with her girlfriends is prowling for men, but if these outings happen often -- and suddenly increase -- cheating could be the reason.

Appexx. Fugitive Recovery Services is the sister company of Appexx Investigations. My whole career in law enforcement was as a SGT in the Detective Division or in the Warrants Department. Both divisions I worked for was a lot alike. In the Detective Division I had to put clues together to find and arrest the suspect I was hunting for. In the Warrants Division, I had to find people who didn't want to be found and arrest them. With me being in both departments during my career in Law Enforcement , I had to use clues and talk to people to find out where the people were at. This gives me a better understanding of the kind of work I have chosen to do. This company will be run with the same kind of integrity as Appexx Investigations. This Career is in no way like the one you see on TV with people from everywhere jumping out of vehicles who are felons themselves with paint ball guns screaming to lay down or they will shoot you with a paint ball, (I believe all of you know who I am talking about). This is a serious life or death at times career that I have chosen. That's why Appexx Investigations only hires the very best well trained individuals in the country to get the job done...
