When people think of detectives, they often assume we operate above the law and have access to any data we desire. This is simply not the case. We frequently receive calls asking for services like phone hacking, accessing social media accounts, or tracking someone’s phone location.
At Private Investigator Leeds, we want to make it clear that we cannot and will not provide these services. They are illegal, and anyone caught engaging in such activities could face imprisonment. Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in individuals telling us they’ve spoken to other investigators who claim they can carry out these actions. If someone offers these services, steer clear immediately.
If you’re looking for phone forensics – such as attempting to recover deleted data from a device – the only legal way to do this is with the full consent of the third party. This would require both written consent and verbal confirmation from them agreeing to the analysis.
If you’re interested in learning more about our forensic services, visit our Digital Forensics page or call us directly at 0113 335 0772 to discuss your options.
While hacking might seem like the only solution, we offer several legal services that could help you get the answers you’re seeking. Take a look at our Other Services pages to find out more.
