Dishonest Private Investigators

I got several PI’s contact me from BARK website which I registered on in March 2024.

One of the Companies that contacted me was ISS Investigations Imbewu Security.

They made me promises and even sent me a list of what they would do for me.

Long story cut short. They originally quoted me R 12 000 on 21 March 2023. I advised, I thought they were under quoting for what I required. They revised their quote accordingly to R 18 200,00.

This was to include : 1. Surveillance, Information gathering, photo’s video, court ready report, Asist with full custody of minor child and protection order to stop further abuse and medical background check. 2. Background check, ******** record report, credit checks and asset check.

Rodney advised that he had witnessed this girl buying drugs from a Nigerian in blue polo, she was constantly on her phone and suggested we bug it at a cost of R 5000. A list of all the “perks” of doing this is attached. He must have been in Durban as he was able to tell me that her boyfriend drove an audi and where they went and what they did over the 3 days surveillance.

He then suggested an extra 2 days surveillance at a cost of R 4 000 which I paid on 15 March 2023. He advised my phone was bugged – a further R 1 800 paid by me to “debug” my phone.

I was fed stories about the spyware and when it would be ready, the medical docs that had finally arrived and he could now submit a full report and advised the report would come from his personal gmail account as his work server was “being upgraded”. That was on Thursday 28 March 2024. Then he started not responding to my messages, but I know he read them as I could see under info on WhatsApp that they had been delivered and read.

I am in a very difficult situation now as I have an almost 2-year-old grandchild, who we have never met, being raised in unsavory conditions. They drive drunk with the child in the car, owe people money all over town, the child is being dragged from pillar to post and the grandmother drives without a license with my grandchild in the car. This girl has opened 7 false charges against myself and my son, she stalks him at work although SHE is in possession of a protection order (yet she breaches her own protection order), she has had us both arrested, my son beaten by the police at his place of work (he is disabled and works with a company under their disability program), 42 court appearances with all charges having been dropped due to lack of evidence. She has tried to get me suspended from The SA Tax institute (I am a tax practitioner) and the PPRA (Also an estate agent), by opening false charges against me so I get a ******** charge and won’t be able to work. I found out on Thursday that SAIT (my governing body for the tax practitioners association) is now investigating me IRO any ******** charges I may have against my name. It’s been almost 3 years of hell and cost R 440 0000 in the legal fees to keep our good names and prevent her lies from costing myself and my son our jobs.

I need to save my grandchild. I have now been ********** by this company, and a year ago was taken for R 35 000 by Brad Nathanson Investigations. I am tired of being taken for a ride. DO NOT use this company, they are not honest.
