Social Media Investigations

Need to find someone to serve papers to? We provide detailed reports with links to websites, images, addresses, and phone numbers for a subject.

Are you having difficulty locating a witness, debtor, or former spouse to serve them papers? If you're looking for someone who is evading service of process and in-person delivery of legal documents, social media platforms can be the key to tracking them down.

Social media investigations are deep dives, collections, and analyses of a subject's publicly available content on social media websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter. An individual's social media account usually contains a wealth of information that can reveal their location, activities, relationships, interests, and more. As such, in-depth social media investigations by a private investigator can help you find evidence of illegal activity, discriminatory views, company policy violations, or incriminating behavior. They can also help you verify the identity and credibility of a person or an organization or track down their current location.

Social media investigations are helpful for anyone who needs to find or serve someone hard to locate. Some of the situations that may require social media investigations are:

Backgroung check
HR, fraud, or other internal investigations
Regulatory or compliance investigations
Potencial or ongoing litigation matters

Providing a name, photo, email address, DOB, location, and aliases the target uses online is always helpful.

The minimum amount of information you can provide is the following:

First name and last name, preferably with a middle initial.
City, state, or the full address previously lived or current.
Date of birth.

We can skip trace the above information if you cannot provide it. Check out our top 5 tips for an effective social media investigation, or visit our skip tracing page to learn more.
