How to find people using the internet

April 8th, 2008

Is it as simple as getting a subscription to 192.com? Or is there more to tracing than just accessing popular databases?

Well for starters, the electoral roll has got to be the starting point of any trace. However if the person you are tracing has a common name like John Smith then the electoral roll will not help you very much. There will be too many entries in there.

Any investigations needs a beginning. In people tracing, the information that we get from our clients will make or break the trace.

The more information the better, name, last known address, date of birth, name of father and mother, their addresses (if known). The professional people finder can cross reference these details to narrow the search to the “John Smith” that you are looking for.

Most tracing agencies have access to a lot of databases that the general public would find too expensive to subscribe to, but more importantly they have the experience and the drive to look in the right place for the information that is required.

What’s the difference between a Private Investigator and a Process Server?

April 5th, 2008

The government (in the form of the SIA) has been wrestling with the definition and still isn’t sure. You see they are trying to license Private Investigators in the UK and in order to do that they have to define what they do.

In all their definitions, what is clear is that a Process Server is not one. As far as I’m aware, a Process Server will not need a SIA license.

Often a Private investigator is also a process server. The main difference is that a PI will be able to carryout investigations and inquiries while a process server will not. They will only be able to serve process. No house to house inquiries, no tracing if the person is not at the address specified.

Maxim’s Private Investigator

April 1st, 2008

Sometimes you don’t have to do anything and the media write about you. Well tell a lie, Neil Sheppard from Trident Investigations (otherwise known as Provost2000 - ELG) got a call one day from a journalist writing for Maxim Magazine about Private Investigators. He mentions my name as well as another member of ELG and the next thing you know, i get a phone call from said journalist and a telephone interview ensues.

The result? [its on page 45 of the May edition of Maxim Magazine]
