Military Scams Targeting Dating Sites












Men and women of uniform, traditionally, have been those we can trust.  Those who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom.  There are many military men and women who use online dating sites and social networks such as Match.com, eCupid.com or Facebook to find love and new friends.  Many women subscribers are often approached by men claiming to be in the U.S. or U.K. military.  They often claimed to be stationed in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, or even in Africa. Profiles show names, military ranks and photos stolen from real soldiers, some of them while still on duty, some of them who even died in service. Because internet criminals have had much success in the scam, the number of these cases are on the rise, and the risk is growing.

Dating background checks  have been a great solution for those who wish to verify their online contacts from online dating and social networking.  Scammers take advantage of the good will and naive nature of their victims. Many of these techniques would fail if internet users understood the risk and knew the warning signs.  Unfortunately, some scammers are so good that it can be nearly impossible to determine who is real and who is not.  In a growing number of cases, there is simply no way to know the truth without hiring a reputable private investigation company.

Military scams can be especially difficult for victims to detect and accept.  Many victims want to help the soldier and support their country, and in doing so end up losing thousands of dollars, or have their identity stolen.  Learning about military ranks and what different soldiers do can help educate those not from the military, and also is a great help in avoiding fake soldiers.

Hiring an international investigator can be a great option for those who have met someone they want to know better, or who think they may have met someone special, but that person happens to be a soldier who was met online.  Fraud experts and law enforcement agree that it's important to verify early in the relationship to avoid the dangers and damage from internet fraud.

There’s a special kind of magic to see those uniformed men, giving their lives to protect us.  Investigators say to remain skeptical online and remember any profile and photo can very easily be false, and in fact nearly half of all online profiles on the internet today are false!

Be safe online and watch out for the warning signs.  If you meet Mr. Perfect on the web, and you're thinking of starting a relationship with this person.  Be safe.  Get a background check.

Private Investigators Helping to Locate Loved Ones















Private investigators around the world are specializing in much more than your basic cheating case or background check.  Today’s private investigation firms are not always involved in the bad things in life, like investigating fraud, criminal activity, or working to identify and locate scammers.  These days, reputable international investigators are making the world a better place, one case at a time.  One service that is especially helpful to family members, individuals and loved ones is the missing person investigation.  More individuals around the world are relying on a professional to help find, reunite and locate missing loved ones, or simply old friends from our past.

The internet has helped us make relationships with new friends and business persons worldwide, with the click of a mouse.  Globalization has connected people around the world like never before.  People are moving abroad and families and friends are now commonly spread out across countries and even continents.  Staying in touch and connected can be difficult, and the internet is the main tool for keeping in touch.  Even with the ease email and Skype, losing touch is common.  Years go by and people drop out of our lives.  Often clients want to reconnect with an old friend or flame.  In other cases, there may be a runway or even a kidnapping.  Individuals increasingly rely on a private investigation company to help find loved ones or one friends from our past.

Searching the internet is usually the starting point for most of those searching for a certain someone locally or even in a foreign country.  However, when language barriers and internet trails lead to a dead end, the trail goes cold.  In many cases, the internet can offer good clues, but rarely leads to an exact location of a loved one or old friend.  Experience private investigation firms can help clients locate missing persons and loved ones like never before.  Companies like Wymoo® International have investigators on the ground in over 100 countries and can access local records, public and government databases to uncover evidence that most individuals can’t.  The result in a missing person investigation can be impressive, and often leads to happy endings.

Clients often search for a missing person or lose contact with loved ones through divorce, adoption, relocation, death, marriage, travel, illness or even kidnapping.  When the trail runs cold, clients contact international private investigators  who have investigators in the country or countries where the missing person may have been last seen or perhaps where clues indicate he or she might be.  From there, investigators can utilize their skills and follow up on any leads.  When a missing person is found, such as an uncle in Ghana, a grandmother in the Philippines, a son in Colombia or a business partner in India, the job is rewarding for both investigator and client.

All the best,
