Background investigations are essential for employers, landlords, the hiring of childcare or household help, considering business opportunities or for wanting to know more about a romantic partner. In certain situations, it would be foolhardy not to perform a background investigation.
A client hired Spencer Investigations after a con artist bilked her for $50,000 in an investment scam. Had the client conducted the background investigation in the first place, she would have learned much sooner that the con artist was a convicted felon, had more than six aliases and two social security numbers, had bankruptcies, liens and judgments against her, routinely engaged in frivolous lawsuits, had 16 addresses in six years, etc. In other words, she would have saved herself $50,000 and headaches galore.
