WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN HIRING A FRAUD INVESTIGATOR IN OHIO?

At Silvania Investigative Services, we feature every possible procedure to ensure the most productive and cost-effective surveillance packages possible. Every investigator at SIS is expertly trained and receives annual update training.

Surveillance services include but are not limited to the following:

  • Surveillance
  • Activity Check
  • Clinic Inspection
  • Clinic Surveillance
  • Document Retrieval
  • Neighborhood Canvass
  • Remote Unmanned Monitoring
  • Court Testimony
  • Timely updates to our clients

Our Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is highly specialized and trained to identify and eliminate fraud through witness canvasses, statements and field interviews, scene investigations, alive and well checks, clinic inspections, and neighborhood canvassed.

When selecting a risk mitigation vendor, it is important to ask about their Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Although often overlooked, an investigative firm’s SIU department is actually an excellent indicator of the overall quality of said firm’s work product. Why? Because SIU work requires persistence, accuracy, and an almost manic attention to detail. Such characteristics transfer well to other types of investigations; therefore, if the firm you choose performs high quality SIU investigations, you can reasonably expect excellent work from them across the board.

INSURANCE

Besides licenses, a person should also inquire about insurance. Private investigators need liability insurance to protect them from financially crippling lawsuits. If a private investigator doesn’t carry insurance, one should avoid hiring him or her at all costs. A lack of insurance is a serious warning flag.

METHODS EMPLOYED

Due to the sensitive nature of an investigator’s work, a person should determine what methods a professional uses before hiring him or her. If an undercover investigator obtains information illegally, it may not be admissible in a court of law. Therefore, one should ensure that a fraud investigator follows all pertinent laws relating to the gathering of investigative information.

HIRING

Hiring a fraud investigator is often a last resort for those who feel they are being scammed. Therefore, one should be extremely cautious and diligent when searching for the right investigator to fulfill his or her unique information needs.

BILLING PROCEDURES

Prior to hiring a fraud investigator, one should learn about this professional’s billing procedures. Requesting a written contract is a must. A person needs to know exactly what items he or she will be billed for before signing on the dotted line.

TESTIMONIAL

I was contacted by a client who thought they were a victim of theft in Ohio. I was assigned the case and immediately went to the Intellenet member list. I located the name Jim Silvania of Silvania Investigation. I knew that most if not all of our members are phenomenal but didn’t realize how lucky I was getting Jim involved. For three weeks and from a distance I was briefed as Jim Silvania ran this case into the ground. In the end, Jim recovered a one of a kind prototype, which just happened to be a very valuable piece of medical equipment. Thank God it was not stolen just shoddy shipping and a lot of forgetful employees. Jim Silvania, Thank you! To the rest of Intellenet, Jim Silvania made me very proud to be a Intellenet member.

Respectfully,
Jim South
