Who Do We Catch More, Husbands or Wives?

We receive numerous calls from prospective clients requesting surveillance on their spouse.  The usual scenario goes like this:  I suspected my spouse was cheating.  I confronted them with their unusual behavior and the text messages I found and they admitted to the affair.  They promised not to see the person again and we tried to work things out.  Well, after several months I suspected they were cheating again.  I found more evidence to support the affair and now they have moved out of the house.  I need evidence for court.

Recently we attended training on how to determine if spyware has been placed on an Android phone. The very next day we received a call from a client wanting his Droid cell phone checked for spyware. After running several test and applying the skills and techniques recently learned, we were able to advise the client his phone had not been compromised and it was safe to use. We expect more calls like this as the Droid phone becomes very popular with the public.

We receive calls weekly asking if we can detect spyware on a cell phone.  This seems to be a growing concern, especially in domestic related matters.  Before we give you some questions to consider, you need to know it is illegal to install spyware on someone else’s cell phone. 

In the past few weeks, I have received numerous calls from people that have never contacted a private investigator for any reason. They are nervous and sometimes embarrassed especially if they are calling about the possibility of their spouse cheating on them. The first comment they normally make is "I never thought I would be calling you. What is the procedure that I need to follow. Where do I start?" I thought that I would blog about this topic and try to give potential new clients an idea of what to expect when they call.
