A man called Sheffield Detective as he had recently entered into a relationship with a lady who he met on the internet. He had met with her several times and they seemed to be getting on really well. Our client wanted to take the relationship more seriously by offering her more commitment but was curious about her claims that she was destitute.

We advised our client that it would perhaps be wise for one of our highly trained agents to conduct an asset trace on the subject. We would use the databases we had available to us and our recourses to gain information in the public domain to help him with his decision.

Our client was relieved that he had made the decision to contact us as our investigations revealed that she was a fraud. She was not at all destitute in fact we were able to report that she was the owner of two properties and was a partner in an lucrative business acquired by previous relationships. Although disappointed our client was pleased that had had a lucky escape and was able to take the relationship no further.
