Online dating has become increasingly popular, offering a convenient way to meet potential partners.
However, this surge in popularity has also led to a rise in dating fraud. Our private investigators are committed to helping individuals protect themselves from romance scams and fraudsters who prey on vulnerable people looking for love online.
Dating fraud, also known as romance fraud, occurs when a fraudster creates a fake profile on a dating site, app, or social media platform to build a relationship with a victim. The scammer’s ultimate goal is to gain the victim’s trust and manipulate them into sending money or sharing personal information.

I approached Global for tracing of one particular subject person relating to fraudulent documents submitted to a goverment office by him, that effected a claim I had under UK law. Global stated the level of tracing and costing prior to me accepting their services. Global was transparent, no hidden fee's or costs and the timeline given, in my case there was a small time overrun only because of the level of detail, due diligence and further detail with their investigations in uncovering a fraud. I was overwhelmed with the report result with supporting evidence that was well worth the wait, you can't rush quality! There was so much compelling detail, that provided me with the evidence that I need to overturn such a fraudulent document. I would highly recommend Global Investigations Ltd to anybody in a similar situation. Global are most professional in all aspects of dealing with my case. They kept me updated prior to investigation completion with excellent communication. A most sincere thank you to Global's Team!Posted on Google![]()

Romance scams have become increasingly common in recent years. According to the City of London Police, millions of pounds are lost to romance fraudsters each year.
These scams can have devastating emotional and financial consequences for victims.
Prevention is better than cure, so the best practice is to recognise a scam before stepping into the trap. Look for these red flags:
Scammers often try to shift chats to private apps to avoid detection.
Expressing love or deep feelings early on is a tactic to build trust quickly.
They often make excuses to avoid face-to-face meetings.
Requests for financial help, such as for medical bills or travel, are usually fabricated.
Scammers frequently use these professions to explain their unavailability.
Profiles with overly ideal photos or stories may be fake.
Stay alert to these signs, and if you suspect a scam, stop communication and report it to Action Fraud or the authorities.
