You deserve answers — not more uncertainty. Our California BSIS licensed private investigator conducts romance scam investigations to identify scammers, trace cryptocurrency and wire transfers, and build court-admissible evidence packages for law enforcement, civil litigation, or personal resolution across Southern California.
Romance scams are among the most financially and emotionally devastating forms of fraud. Scammers invest weeks or months building trust before requesting money — typically through wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency. By the time victims realize what happened, the scammer has disappeared behind layers of fake identities, offshore accounts, and spoofed social media profiles. Our licensed investigator specializes in romance scam investigations that cut through that deception: identifying the real person or criminal network behind the fraud, tracing transferred funds, and producing documented evidence for law enforcement referral or civil recovery action.
Our licensed PI conducts romance scam investigations using digital forensics, OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), cryptocurrency blockchain analysis, and cross-platform account tracing. We work with victims throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, and provide evidence packages formatted for FBI IC3 reports, civil lawsuits, and — when scammers are identified and locatable — law enforcement referrals. Every investigation is conducted under California BSIS PI licensure, ensuring findings are legally defensible.
A romance scam investigation is a structured licensed PI operation designed to unmask fraudsters who exploit emotional relationships to steal money. These investigations go far beyond what victims can do alone — our licensed investigator uses professional OSINT tools, digital forensics, and database access unavailable to the public to trace fake identities back to real individuals or organized criminal networks.
A typical romance scam investigation includes: reverse image analysis and facial recognition OSINT, profile authentication across dating apps and social platforms, cryptocurrency wallet tracing and blockchain analysis, phone number and email attribution, and cross-referencing against known scam databases. The result is a comprehensive forensic report documenting the scammer's methods, identities, and financial trail.
According to the FTC's 2023 romance scam report, Americans reported losing $1.3 billion to romance scams — the highest of any fraud category. Social media and dating apps are the primary contact points, with Instagram, Facebook, and Tinder cited most frequently.
