    Why Engage A Private Cyber Investigator For Cyber Crime?

    Expert Cyber Online Investigation - Real Investigations for Real People - Based in Australia, Cyber Fraud Investigators, Cybertrace.

    Although we are seeing more scammers being arrested by the police, authorities in Australia and other western countires are generally too slow to react. In many cases, an arrest is not made for up to one year after the offence took place. During this time, scammers continue to offend and destroy the lives of many other victims.

    This is where technically skilled private investigators can assist by providing professional service to clients wishing to capture evidence privately, rather than wait for police to investigate. Often, we can help.

    Most police officers are now more willing to cooperate with private investigators as opposed to years gone by. At Cybertrace, we believe that the key to combating cyber crimes is the continued use of public-private collaboration, raising cyber fraud literacy levels for the general public, ongoing education of police officers and private investigators to effectively deal with victims of cyber fraud, and an increased allocation of resources for investigating and prosecuting offenders, promptly.

    Scam Victim Support Via Collaboration With Police

    In terms of cybercrime, an obvious change in the level of sophistication and victim manipulation has been observed over the past 5 years. Cybercrime is the same as any crime method, the longer it is used, the more refined it becomes meaning that the capability of scammers will inherently increase.

    Although law enforcement has generally been slow to adapt to the investigation of cyber crimes, as opposed to traditional crimes, they are now beginning to understand the value of public-private collaboration which assists in most circumstances. We hope this will improve over the coming years.

    More recently, cooperation with the private sector has increased the rate of successful prosecution against scammers.

    So, Should you be the victim of a cybercrime and wish to fund your own evidence collection operation, please contact our private cyber investigators to discuss your case, and we will provide you with a realistic and honest assessment of your case.
