Online Investigations

Email Investigations
We all communicate now via email, why its fast, instant, easy and cheap. This can be the main correspondence now between a client and an organisation, some organisations are now accepting emails with attachments, then the traditional method of documents in the post.
However although most emails are legitimate some are not. Unfortunately there are a number of ways to produce a fraudulent email, whether it is presented to the unknowing recipient in their inbox or printed and used as evidence.
At Regional Queensland Investigations Pty. Ltd. we have experience in looking and investigating emails to ascertain if what you see on face value is in fact correct or not.
Our comprehensive report will outline if in fact the email is a fake or is the real deal. This could save your company or organisation many dollars in insurance claims or it could also help an employer with any misconduct charges faced by an employee.
If you need your email verified and investigation contact us here at Regional Queensland Investigations Pty. Ltd.
Cyber Stalking
Have you been a victim of cyberstalking?
With the increase of social networking sites, such as facebook and twitter it has become so much easier to stalk another person. The internet world is no different. Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual, a group of individuals, or an organization. This may include such things as false accusations, monitoring, making threats, identity theft, damage to data or equipment, the solicitation of minors for sex, or gathering information in order to harass.
At Regional Queensland Investigations Pty. Ltd. we investigate these types of offences. Sometimes the matters lead to prosecution when the details are forwarded to local police and sometimes clients hire Regional Queensland Investigations, just to assist in a restraining order application.

Cyber Bullying
Like cyberstalking, cyberbullying is on the increase. Cyberbullying can be described as the continuing to send e-mails to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender, but it may also include threats, sexual remarks, hate speech, ganging up on victims by making them the subject of ridicule in forums, and posting false statements as fact aimed at humiliation.
Have you or your children been a victim of cyberbullying?
Unlike cyberstalking a cyberbully may disclose a victims’ personal data (e.g. real name, address, or workplace/schools) on websites or forums or may pose as the identity of a victim for the purpose of publishing material in their name that defames or ridicules them. Some cyber-bullies may also send threatening and harassing emails and instant messages to the victims, while other post rumors or gossip and instigate others to dislike and gang up on the target.
Unfortunately there has been an increase in the cyberbullying of children. There is reports that children in second grade have been the victim of cyberbullying at Regional Queensland Investigations Pty Ltd we can investigate these matters and assist the victims (or parents of the victims) to obtain information to assist in court or to just make the cyberbullying stop.
If you think you have been a victim of cyberbullying or your children may have been please contact Regional Queensland Investigations Pty Ltd for a discreet chat on how we can fight, against cyberbullying.

Although this technology is great, there is always some fraudsters out there to make a quick dollar by taking your hard earned cash dishonestly.
Have you been a victim of internet fraud?
This term to obtain your personal information is known as “phishing” which is a way of attempting to acquire information such as your user-names, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. The common form of phishing is bank phishing. This is where you reportedly receive an email from your bank telling you to log on to internet banking to update your bank details. Unfortunately the site is a fake and all it does is capture your online baking credentials.
