Our expert team of attorneys and consultants will be glad to provide necessary legal assistance.

Forgery is a huge industry, and it negatively impacts businesses and private individuals alike. People who do it want something for nothing, be it property or rights to money or healthcare powers over another individual. Criminals from all levels of society and circumstances engage in such illegal practices, and when it happens the law often steps in to prosecute these criminals who perpetrate detrimental harm upon innocent victims. Unfortunately, police and other law enforcement officers do not always secure the needed results.

Many police departments and other law enforcement agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are already swamped with crimes against people like rape, murder, human trafficking, assault and battery, etc. Thus, when a victim of a property crime like fraud, forgery, or embezzlement asks law enforcement officials for assistance with solving a crime, their pleas for help often fall upon deaf ears. Other police departments simply lack the staff, financial resources, or interest to investigate property crimes or sometimes even serious crimes against people. When this happens or even as a complement to law enforcement’s efforts, many people choose to hire the best forgery private investigator for extra help with forgery private investigations.

Different Types of Forgery & Fraud:

Our fraud private investigator is well-versed in the diverse kinds of forgery and other fraud that scammers and people who forge items engage in. Some of the most forged items include, but are not limited to, the following:

Checks:

While the use of checks is much less common than it was in years past, plenty of bad people still sign other people’s names to checks they want to cash. They may write in any amount that suits their desires, and if the bankers or owners of the bank accounts fail to catch them quickly the forgers can drain out the bank accounts of all cash or even smaller, less noticeable amounts, so the person does not notice the absence of money.

One of our company’s office staff began forging checks at our private investigation agency office once. She thought no one would notice that she was signing checks with the owner’s name. The check cashing place she brought them to and our own bankers did not catch it, but the young lady was not very smart because she tried to steal from our owner who is a forgery private detective! She caught her and immediately fired her with no good future reference. The girl also had to repay the money, and because she brought the $1,300 she stole back to us quickly, the owner did not have her arrested but could have done so.

Passports/State IDs/Drivers’ Licenses:

Passport theft and forgery are also big money-making businesses. From helping criminals establish new identities so they can leave one country and travel elsewhere to selling passports from the most desirable countries like the USA, England, Germany, Japan, Australia, etc., to people who want to travel there, it is a huge business. This is why so many thieves, robbery, and other criminals love to find lost passports and steal them from others. They can sell these to others with the cash and motivations for evil, and the profit margins can prove to be significant.

Counterfeit Money:

Counterfeit money is also a huge business. There is so much fake money circulating all throughout the world in every single country. When scammers find success in making fake currency look so like real money, they can “make” tons of money for themselves by buying things with false currency. Our scammer private investigators see this scam all the time, but the federal government has their own agents who investigate this crime unless a client of ours wants justice faster.

Forged Documents:

From wills to powers of attorney to contracts and more, people forge documents every day. They do this because they want power, control, money, land, or some other tangible good or service. These immoral criminals might alter the contract or forge a signature. The private eyes at our private detective agency have seen this happen so many times and have personally watched victims of document forgery suffer both financially and emotionally.

Forged Contracts:

Forged contracts are another type of document that our document forgery private investigators see on a regular basis. From business deals to landlord/tenant agreements and more, bad people target contracts as their favored forged documents because they are surprisingly easy to forge. Our criminal private investigator sees tons of clients with complaints of forged contracts who need help.

Altering Existing Documents:

Some people who enter agreements decide to change them after the fact to favor their side in a disagreement or to take advantage of another person from the start. They may try to white out a signature or take a photo of it and use technology to transfer it to a different document with their preferred terms. They may change or delete words or even add words or paragraphs to try to get what they want. There are all kinds of ways these forgery specialists can use to alter existing documents like contracts.

Altering Existing Checks:

Some people also alter checks to make them say what they want. Our check fraud private investigator at our private detective agency notes that some people will add extra numbers, words, or may change the date or add a special memo to the check at the bottom left like saying, “For sexual favors.” While the latter can be innocuous, if not obnoxious, changing numbers, dates, and words is extremely illegal. Our digital private investigator is adept at helping catch fraudsters who do this!

Counterfeit Artwork:

Artwork is another thing that thieves and fraudsters are more than happy to counterfeit and forge. Original artwork like that of Vincent Van Gogh are extremely valuable, but if someone makes a replica and tries to pass it off as the real thing, it is illegal and does not have the same value as the original artwork. Since many people do not know the difference between originals and copies or forged artwork, these fraudsters can make a significant amount of money by tricking unsuspecting people into buying these fake pieces of art.

We have the best private investigation agency in the entire United States with the most trained private eyes who are experts in the field of fraud, forgery, and counterfeiting. Check us out today so we can help you catch criminals who try to sell you counterfeit artwork to make a quick dime off you.

Forging Signatures for Prescriptions:

Forging a signature for a prescription is also highly illegal. Nonetheless, some people do it anyway so that they can get the medicine they want. They may have a drug addiction or are genuinely in serious pain but cannot convince another licensed physician to give them more painkillers. So, they may steal their provider’s prescription pad or may make one of their own and take a signature from a previous prescription and digitally add it onto the forged prescription paper. When people become desperate enough, there are no limits to the extent they will go to get what they want. Drug addiction and pain can be tremendous motivators to commit fraud and forgery.

Notary Public Forgeries:

Yes, you read this subtitle correctly. Some people who work as a notary public or mobile notary commit fraud and forgery by helping notarize a signature they did not personally witness. They may know the individual they are trying to help get money in a false will the principal did not sign, or they may want power of attorney or a quit claim deed to get a home. There are so many ways that evil notaries can harm people.

Some might do it for a financial bribe or to help a friend or family member get back at someone. Others may be good people but might be naïve enough or too new to understand that the person signing the document must be present for them to legally notarize it. The evil person may thus manipulate the individual into notarizing a document that she/he/they cannot legally notarize.

Ways to Combat Forgery & Other Forms of Fraud:

Graphologists/Handwriting Analysis Experts:

Graphologists are experts with special training in handwriting analysis. They can help determine whether someone forged a signature or a statement, letter, or other document that the writer composed in cursive. They can notice the smallest details in the way someone crosses a t or dots an i, as well as the slant of their writing and so much more. Only the most skilled, trained forgers can have a higher chance of successfully forging a signature or other document in cursive, as most people are untrained and will make quite common, beginner mistakes.

Our PI agency will sometimes add a graphologist as an expert in handwriting analysis private investigations. These legal professionals are imperative to helping solve certain forgery crimes. Our private investigation is the best and has plenty of legal experts who can help you catch these tricky criminals.
