 |
| Q
: Is it true
that we may be cheated or blackmailed by a private detective?
|
| A
: True, some
clients told us that they have had this kind of experience. |
|
| Q
: How do they
cheat? |
A
: 1. They intentionally cheating by asking for deposit
money for nothing in progress, not even thinking of any
action, but instead trying to sell information to the
targets, or blackmail the clients.
A
: 2. Unintentionally
cheating but they are in capable of fulfill the assignment
because of lack of knowledge, in competenced, lack of
good equipment; thus they lie to their clients until the
clients get tired and give up finally. |
|
| Q
: I would like
to hire a private detective but am afraid of cheating
and blackmailing. How should I do? |
A
: Basically,
you should:
A
: 1. Try to
hire a detective firm who has a formal form of business
entity is registered with the ministry of commerce with
a precise business objective statement of doing detective
business.
A
: 2. Check
if the firm has long track of doing this business; should
be at least 3-5 years.
A
: 3. Check
if the firm has good credit, aproven success record, including
the managements experience.
A
: 4. Talk
to their employees or a responsible person to find out
the conceptual advice. For example, they may grant 100%
guarantee, etc. (There is no investigation in the world
that can give a hundred percent guarantee.).
A
: 5. Try to
meet your detective agent at his office. If he wants to
meet you outside and claims to be granting you convenience,
unless you would want them to see you at your place.
A
: 6. Do not
hire a detective agent at the lowest price. Detective
jobs involve unique aspects. They may offer a low price
because they may have no intention of fulfilling the job
after receiving your deposit. |
|
| Q
: Will the
target be aware of the investigation which would have
a bad effect on the client? |
| A
: The
chance that the target may be aware depends on different
aspects: |
 |
Some
kinds of investigation like surveillance on
difficult location requires much time and
continuation. |
|
Some
experienced targets may be easily aware of
the investigation because there is no other
way to get the information except by taking
the risky option, which would easily enable
the target to be aware. |
|
Target's
behavior is so unique that the detective may
have to choose observable and unusual practices.
Such as driving at unusual speed, etc. |
|
Clients
show some indication to the targets verbally
and non-verbally; in some cases even threaten
the target. |
|
..........
In all cases, detectives will never tell or admit,
anything unless the target has suspicion. Thus,
bad results may possibly be a consequence of different
surrounding aspects. For example, relationship between
Clients & Targets, targets discerning and/or behaviors,
of how much the information is affect to the targets.
|
|
|
| Q
: What policy
do you have to keep the clients' secret? |
A
: 1. Normally, our detective manager will be the only
one who hears your information. Especially if the contact
is made via telephone. We do have anti-tapping system.
A
: 2. Our field
detective staff will only know the tailored information
for each assignment, without knowing who the client is.
A
: 3. Our policy
is to treat both your information and the targets information
as top secret. This is the first criterion of our recruitment,
training, and evaluation system. If we find that information
has leaked from any staff member, he/she will be immediately
fired and charged by a lawsuit.
A
: 4. We do
have a very strict policy with rules & regulations to
be seriously practiced in order to protect all secret
information.
A
: 5. We invest
in expensive high quality equipment with advanced technology
and have high security and self-detection system, thus
making it difficult to be copied or dubbed by unauthorized
staff.
A
: 6. Personal
code will be assigned to each client to use when you contact
us; none of our staff apart from the detective manager
would know whom you are.
A
: 7. Moreover,
you could also hire us without your identification. |
|
| Q
: How would
I know if the detective I hire is capable of the task?
|
| A
: It is not
too difficult to monitor. For example, in some behavioral
observation investigation of a target that you see everyday,
you may try you detective of the dressing style and color
the target was wearing in each day or the vehicle that
the target rides. For other types of investigation, like
manufacturing of fake goods or copy-write violation, you
could possibly analyze from the job progress report given
to you with other evidences e.g. videotape, cassette tape,
etc. (please see more detail in 'How to hire'). |
|
| Q
: What kind
of information do I need to provide when I decide to hire
a detective? |
| A
: 1.
For behavioral observation, find lost person; photograph
a person or personal status, these kinds of information
required: |
|
Targets
physical attributes, age, height, complexion,
other special marks including a photograph
(if any), except when the target is a well-known
person. |
|
Type
of vehicle (brand, class, color, plate number
and other special characteristics, e.g. sticker,
antenna, etc.) |
|
Targets
residential or working location including
former residence, former office and details
which help identify the place easily. |
|
General
behavior of the target; e.g. office day/hours,
routine/regular activities, including other
information that may be helpful. |
|
Your
precise objectives of the investigation; e.g:
you want to know a persons sexual behavior
or an employees professional/working behavior
or other work/business that may conflict with
the employers business. |
|
..........
A
: 2.
For other type of investigation, such as copy-write
violation, corruption in the organization or complicated
investigation that requires multiple methods of
work. |
|
You
should provide as much detail as possible.
You may use a fake target name and place before
you make your decision, then tell the true
name/place later when committed to hire. In
this case, your detective manager will ask
you to clarify more information and detail
because the service charge is really up to
the complexity and method of investigation
involved. |
|
|
|
| Q
: When the
client hires a detective because of suspiction in the
targets behavior, or because of the having been affected
by target behavior, does the result of the investigation
always turn out as suspected? |
A
: 1. In the case of observing behavior of a person in
both personal matters and professional matters, 95% turns
out as suspected but information may be different.
A
: 2. For the
case of copy-write violation and corruption in the organization,
it turns out100% as suspected because the employee has
found the sign of damage before hiring detective. |
|
| Q
: What is your
success rate? |
A
: Clients understand and identify the definition of success
with their detective. For example, when the result turns
out different from the clients suspicion, the client might
feel that he had spent money for nothing even though evidence
shows the track of investigation, but for the detective,
this is success. This is to say that detectives are responsible
for finding facts for client, not the information that
suits the clients suspicion.
A
: However,
our success rate is approaching 100%. This is because
before we commit the assignment from clients, we always
analyze the chance of success. We do not commit to 'Mission
Impossible'. |
