Sometimes in private life, situations arise where you need specific information or want to verify a supposed fact. However, it’s not always possible to obtain the desired information through simple questioning or easy measures. This might be because someone is shrouded in secrecy, you feel lied to or even betrayed, or you’re worried about your partner, child, or another family member. In such cases, you can hire a detective through the Alibi Agency to bring clarity with research and surveillance.

Hiring a Detective for Private Matters

This service offered by the Alibi Agency primarily pertains to private investigations. The private detectives we work with specialize in investigative activities related to personal matters and do not operate as insurance or corporate detectives.

Typical Areas for Detectives

The field of private investigators is broad. First, we want to give you an overview of the matters in which you can hire a detective through us before we delve into specific examples of situations where our clients have already benefited from investigator support.

Private detectives are mainly employed in the following areas:

• Adultery
• Infidelity
• Marriage fraud (Romance Scamming)
• Child support issues
• Custody disputes
• Inheritance issues
• Child abduction
• Kidnapping
• Missing persons search
• Neighborhood disputes
• Bullying & Stalking
• Debt collection from defaulters

You might also consider hiring a detective if you’ve met someone interesting or want to get to know them better. A private detective can investigate based on your information to find out if this person is single, if they are attracted to men or women, and when a good opportunity might arise for a “chance” meeting.

Maximum Discretion: Hiring a Detective through Our Agency

Clients who turn to the Alibi Agency have a high need for discretion when it comes to private investigations. They choose to involve the Alibi Agency as an intermediary for good reasons – perhaps due to lack of time, emotional detachment, or because they are wealthy, famous, or public figures who prefer not to contact a detective agency directly. Shame is also a legitimate reason why clients might hesitate to directly hire a private detective.

If you have such concerns and prefer not to appear directly as the client, the Alibi Agency will assume the role of the client, acting as an intermediary and point of contact for the hired private investigator.

The Benefits of Using the Alibi Agency as an Intermediary

Any detective assignment requires the utmost discretion, but private investigations often involve highly sensitive matters.

Often, hiring a private detective stems from doubts about the honesty of the target person or a lack of trust. Generally, the target person should not know they are the subject of investigative research or surveillance, neither during nor after the investigation. This is especially important if the investigation reveals that the doubts and mistrust were unfounded. Spying could be perceived as a breach of trust and negatively impact the relationship.

The same applies if you hire a detective to investigate someone before getting to know them better or entering into a relationship.

With our support, you can anonymously hire a detective for research or surveillance in a private setting, offering several advantages:

• You never appear as the client to the detective agency.
• The investigator never learns your identity.
• No one will know you didn’t fully trust the person.

Another important advantage is that since the billing is handled through our agency, the detective’s bank details do not appear on your bank statement. This prevents tracing the transaction through bank or credit card statements.

Hiring a Private Detective – Often the Last Resort

Hiring a private detective might seem strange to many because such “stories” are usually seen on TV or in movies. However, when you are in a difficult situation that pushes you to your limits, the support of a professional investigator might be the only way out.

Engaging a detective usually occurs due to specific suspicions or concerning situations that need clarity. This could be to protect yourself from emotional or financial harm, limit the consequences of existing damage, or protect someone else.

As an agency, we take every concern seriously, whether:

• You suspect your partner is cheating.
• There is a risk or occurrence of child abduction.
• Your child seems to be slipping away.
• Someone is trying to cheat you out of your rightful inheritance.
• You want to investigate someone to whom you have given your heart.

Whatever difficult situation you find yourself in, you don’t have to become a detective yourself. You can rely on our support to connect with an expert equipped with professional investigation tools, modern surveillance technology, relevant contacts, and extensive investigative experience.

Real Cases for a Detective – From Simple Research to Surveillance

The assignments that private detectives handle through our agency are as diverse as our clients themselves. Here are some examples of situations where our professional detectives have helped clarify doubts, find evidence, locate missing persons, and prevent harm.

Infidelity: Surveillance by a Detective

Jealousy and the nagging question, “Is my partner cheating on me?” are among the most common reasons people hire a detective. If there are specific signs that a man or woman might be having a secret affair, the private investigator will begin their research. Surveillance usually yields quick results. If the target person is found to be cheating, the detective will gather photographic evidence to confront them and expose the infidelity.

If no evidence of cheating is found despite the surveillance, it likely indicates the partner’s loyalty, revealing unwarranted jealousy. The positive outcome of the investigation can rebuild trust in the relationship, enabling a happy and trusting partnership.

Missing Child – Help from a Detective

For parents, there is nothing more devastating than a missing child. Whether the child has run away, been abducted, or taken by the other parent in a custody dispute, authorities are typically involved. However, police measures like missing person reports often yield no results or are time-consuming. Hiring a detective can provide new and more efficient investigative approaches, as detectives can operate across borders and are not bound by strict bureaucratic hierarchies. Unlike police, detectives can invest more time in individual cases, often resulting in a high success rate.

Parents worried about rebellious teenagers who may be getting into trouble can also seek help from private detectives. When teens start distancing themselves from their parents, they are at risk of falling in with the wrong crowd or encountering drugs and crime. In such situations, parents know little about their child’s life, as teens rarely confide in their parents out of shame or fear of consequences. Detectives can help uncover any issues the child might be facing.

Teenagers often run away to escape family conflicts. In these cases, hiring a detective usually resolves the problem quickly.

Unmasking Marriage Fraud – Detectives Expose Romance Scamming

A major issue that has intensified with the rise of the internet is romance scamming. This fraudulent scheme affects mostly women but also men. In a romance scam, the victim is deceived into believing they are in love, creating emotional dependency.

The scammer then makes financial demands. In the worst cases, scammers succeed in obtaining a plane ticket and financially exploit the victim. There might even be a marriage. A detective gathers solid evidence of marriage fraud, enabling the victim to take legal action (e.g., annul the marriage) and emotionally break free from the scammer.
