Success Stories "oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive"

 

  • The Perfect Employee

A Government Department requiring highly skilled engineers in , Western Cape, was told by the applicant that he would be the perfect employee based on his Curriculum Vitae. Our skilled investigators conducted an extensive Pre-Employment background check, which revealed that the potential employee had failed to disclose his criminal background. He also falsified his engineering degree.  Based on our efforts, our client saved potentially thousands of rand in unmasking the criminal before he entered the workplace.

  • I Have No Job

A South African law firm represented a woman in an attempt to collect her settlement from a divorce case from her ex-husband. We were contacted, as the ex-husband stated under oath that he was unemployed and unable to pay his child support. Our skilled Asset Search investigators utilized numerous techniques, data bases, including surveillance, to document that the ex-husband was currently employed with a large motor manufacturing firm as a contracted worker, and verified that he was earning approximately R15000.00 per month.

  • My Back Hurts

A well known insurance company received a claim from one of their policyholder. The disability part of the policy also had a "income replacement provision". The policy holders compensation claim involved an incident where the policy holder injured his back after he slipped and fell from a stepladder at home. The insurer received  anonymous information that he was not all that seriously injured as he was worked again. After the insurance company conducted their own investigation they found no proof of the allegation. We were then hired to investigate the information as a last resort. Our skilled investigators obtained detailed video and photo evidence of the subject playing golf even though he used a false name at the golf club. The investigators also established that the subject worked as a consultant for a consulting firm in the hospitality industry. As a result of our efforts, our client stopped the income replacement as the policyholder was working and earning commission for his work. His cunning actions on the golf course also did not look all that good. The insurance company saved the policyholders of the company an estimate R3.4 million in future payments.
