The confidential sticker on the empty folder had me in tears
Private Professional Investigation: PPI
I got it. For UFO just hire a PI investigator. Their skills with cameras are top notch!
ive never really thought about it, but some of this PI stuff sounds like it could be illegal or at least count as stalking. like idk, a team of people doing surveillance on you without a warrant/court order/subpoena/etc. seems really sketchy and could be abused by the people who have the funds for it.
"The dame's scream hit an octave usually reserved for calling dogs, but it meant I had a case, and the sound of greenbacks slapping across my palm is music to my ears any day. After all, I'm not an opera critic. I'm a private eye. I keep two magnums in my desk. One's a gun, and I keep it loaded. The other's a bottle, and it keeps ME loaded. I'm Tracer Bullet. I'm a professional snoop. It's a tough job, but then, I'm a tough guy. Snooping pays the bills, though. Especially Bill, my bookie, and Bill, my probation officer."
Ads on this video were absurd. Every minute I got two unskipable ads
I imagine if its to the point you need to hire a PI there is a high chance the person being investigated is guilty, since someone had enough circumstantial evidence to warrant spending the money on a PI (not cheap)
That being said, logically it should be a majority of the investigated cases being guilty
I imagine that if you already at the point of hiring someone to found out if your spouse is cheating, you probably already kinda know, and just don't have proof. That's like asking a doctor how often people they treat are sick, like I sure many people go to the hospital over nothing, but usually something is wrong when you look for help.

That was SSSOOO cool, love it.
Lynch Route
my guy just ousted himself
Something like 30% of children in America are not the husband's, so a DNA test would be good spend before a pi. That said, you will never run out of business.
Shady guy
Was your first client donald trump? Lol
Factoid80 sounds like a loser with that “fiance test”.
Queue behind victim (victim queuing at cafe, retail store, supermarket, anywhere where there’s queue) to peep over victim’s shoulder into victim’s phone to steal intel, know which bank app he is using, steal passcode and myriad of criminal activities that one can do next after getting preliminary snooping. Learning. Don’t type into your phone or use your phone when you are standing still or in a queue.
If you're hiring investigators to "vet" your fiances, you're the problem.
Wired please get a witch trial expert to go over questions 🙏
The case he's the most proud of is covering up a spouse cheating on his wife. How does that sit well with a person? I don't get it.
What kind of doubt!?!?! 1:32
About maintaining privacy now–listen to what the man says. I have had scammers confront me with unbelievable levels of specific information about my family members to try to coerce me into transferring money, and they got it all off of information that my family was posting to their social media accounts. I don't have any of these accounts, and the only tip off I got was that although they knew an extraordinary amount of information about my family, they knew very little about me beyond my phone number and current address.
Keep your data off the web, people. There are enough scams out there already without you feeding scammers with information to use against you.
No idea why this popped up but very interesting nonetheless.
Or is this just what they want us to believe?
If you feel that untrustworthy of someone, why tf are you getting married?
Do some soul searching and have meaningful 1-on-1 conversations to make sure you're ready for a relationship ❌️
Hire a PI while you test their faithfulness ✅️
Does one need to have law enforcement background to become a P.I.?
My man used the word niggling correctly lmao
