Why ? Because your intuition, or “gut instinct”, tells you that something is just not right about a person’s story.
Over the years, we have been retained by :
· Parents of first time, marriage minded children
· Parents of middle-aged children, marrying for the second time around
· Children and grandchildren of older adults, who may be targeted by a “gold-digger”
· Executors, Administrators, Trustees and Attorneys
The client’s motivation to investigate can vary, but primarily we are engaged out of the client’s concern for a family member’s safety or financial security.
Scam-Artist red flags:
They show up “out of nowhere” with a story about losing their considerable assets through divorce, fraud or just horrible luck.
They have a vague, self serving history, littered with name dropping of exotic places and people.
The “new love” is in a rush to marry or cohabitate.
If they seem to be “Too good to be true”, they probably are.
All investigations are conducted with the utmost discretion.
