I have contacted a few investigators on bark and I can tell that SleekHacks Private investigator [emilypeterson259 (@) g mail . com] has been the best. I will like to recommend her for any investigative job like location/tracking, surveillance, background check, old and deleted messages/videos and picture retrieval, sms and call log retrieval/complete access to all social media accounts on the target's phone and more. Just contact her and I assure you, you won't regret it. More...

I can’t thank SleekHacks Private Investigation[emilypeterson259 (@) g mail . com] enough for the work she did for me. I was in a really tough spot, someone had taken a good amount of money from me under false pretenses, and I had serious doubts about my wife’s loyalty.
She handled both situations with so much professionalism and care.
She recovered my money and also uncovered the truth about my wife’s infidelity. I’m grateful for her honesty and the way she handled everything. She’s thorough, discreet, and truly knows what she’s doing.
If you need a private investigator, she’s the one to call.

Re: personal identity theft and fraudulent purchases
It was only a preliminary meeting. He was very helpful and suggested questions I might ask.
Unfortunately it looked like my situation was not resolvable by any private detection agency (without having full police powers of investigation), and with Actionfraud taking no action, I am left to be a victim of identity theft motivated by malice, personal defamation, not financial gain. I am also a little perplexed about, around the same time as contacting Bark, becoming registered with Stripe, a money transfer company, not sure if this was connected with registering with Bark, but at a time when other frauds had happened, it was very scary to find a money transfer company thanking me for "registering".
I hold open the possibility of using private detection in the future and Austin would be a very good choice .
I spoke to a suspected perpetrator who answered a phone number used on one of the fraudulent sales forms. There should still be an open line of enquiry. The frauds were based in England and not the result of a mass phishing trawl on the internet.
If there is no connection between Stripe and Bark, (cookie algorithm triggered by registration) please inform me, because that could have been a further fraud attempt.
I did not use, as in commission, Austin Investigations to take action, however I did offer to reimburse for the time taken in our preliminary conversations, he did not request.
Thank you both for your time.

Kim
Our Company had an employee who claimed she had, had an accident and injured herself while working on our premises.
We suspected that she was making the whole incident up to make a claim on our insurance, and was able to take extended sick leave as well.
We turned to Bark for help and Austin Investigations Ltd answered our request.
They quickly obtained evidence that the employee wasn’t injured. Photographing her playing sport and working for a friend of hers. We were able to terminate her employment without a messy tribunal and legal fees.
We received a very professional and cost effective service which saved the Company a lot of time and expense.

What do you love most about your job?
We enjoy helping people when they are wronged and in the days where the Police are strapped for resources, help people get justice when they perhaps wouldn't without our help and intervention.
What inspired you to start your own business?
When we left the Police my colleagues and I realised that we had accumulated unique skills from our old profession which can be applied for the benefit of the public and commerce.
Why should our clients choose you?
We offer a cost effective friendly personal service, at competitive prices. Our aim is customer satisfaction and we will always put that first before profit.
