If someone has committed a financial crime against you, they may have access to some of your personal information and communications.
Therefore, please contact us as discreetly as possible. Don’t tell anyone you are meeting with us unless there is a reason to do so.
We’ll make a plan together on how to address these and other issues.
Major Asset Theft / Loss
It can happen with a click or trick, where someone gets you to sign away an asset or by gaining some control of that asset, they send it somewhere else. Major asset theft is hard to detect until you happen to look at it. However it happened, don’t give up. Law enforcement will do what they can, but their specialty is not recovering lost or stolen assets. Call us as soon as possible and as discreetly as possible. We will get to work tracking down your assets
Executive/Manager Fraud
When business owners trust others to manage their companies, they put incredible power in their hands. Even bookkeepers and administrative assistants can sometimes have the ability to steal or manipulate funds. To make matters worse, theft isn’t limited to taking cash. It can involve inventory, expense manipulation, even fake employees. We have been CEO’s and managers, so we understand how things work and can get to the bottom of whatever fraud or malfeasance is going on fast.
Business Transaction Fraud
Specific business transactions can represent enough fraud to damage or destroy a company. These transactions come in many forms such as M&A, major contracts, or even unnoticeable tiny transactions that eventually add up to millions. One advantage we have in this and in other types of fraud is that the numbers can’t lie. At the end of the day, A=L+E, for example, There is no getting around that. If you think you have been the victim of a business transaction fraud, call us and we’ll figure it out together.
Personal Transaction Fraud
Personal transaction fraud may be buying or selling stocks, bonds, a work of art, a property, or anything of significance. The number of cons and methods to trick or steal are countless. But the good news is that whatever assets you have lost have gone somewhere, and we just might be able to get them back. But it is necessary to contact us as soon as possible. Time is a major factor in recovery. On the other hand, if you are only concerned with proving a crime, sooner is better than later, but as long the documents are retained, we can still figure out what happened.

Surveillance
While surveillance can be useful in everything from information gathering to evidence collection, to client safety, very few investigative firms practice it properly. If you are looking for help with a case or crisis, we will assess the potential to use surveillance as one of many tools. It is applicable to civil and criminal investigations, as well as fidelity, missing persons, and many others. All four kinds of surveillance may play a role in your case: static, mobile, foot, and electronic.
Undercover Operations
Often referred to as a “pretext” operations in the private investigation profession, undercover activities can be useful to gather information and evidence relating to your case. Strider has a number of methods and tools for completing undercover missions. The majority of which will not be revealed under any circumstance. Normally only used in major cases, we will discuss its applicability once we have completed our initial evaluation of your case.
Fidelity / Divorce
Many investigators build websites dedicated to “infidelity” cases. Since we’re optimists, we call them “fidelity cases”. Surveilling and catching a cheating husband or wife is doable if that’s what you need to move on. Our experience is that most people know what is happening, they just need the evidence to take the next step in their relationship and personal journey. We offer non-judgmental support and professional investigations that will include a professional report with supporting film or pictures to document what we find.
Missing Persons / Locates
People are surprised to know that the same skills used in surveillance, OSINT, counter-surveillance and S&R (search and rescue) is the most effective combination of tools to locate a missing person fast. Missing Persons cases can be treated as cold (no or limited urgency), medium-threat, and FAST-ACTION. Retainers are non-refundable once we begin.
Counter-Surveillance
Counter-Surveillance is the act of determining whether an opposing surveillance is active, assessing it, and/or preventing it’s ability to function. If you believe you or someone you care for is under surveillance, contact us carefully, ideally with a pre-pay phone you have never used before or by borrowing a friend’s phone or email. Whatever challenges you may be facing, Strider has the team and capabilities to solve the challenge
Bug Detection & Spy Cam Assessment
There are a variety of technologies and methods that are available not only to PI’s and law enforcement but also to the average citizen. Services include “bug sweeps”, camera detection, “bottle neck” checks, phone and computer forensics, as well as vehicle searches and electronic static counter-surveillance checks.
If you feel there is any sort of physical or electronic surveillance on you or your loved ones, please contact us in the most careful manner possible. It is possible for surveillance equipment to be turned off or removed by opposing actors. It is also possible for them to change their methods if they are aware you are about to get professionals on your side.
