Hiring a background check investigation from an investigator in Colombia might not be something in your plans for this year, but it could be just what you need if you are communicating with a Colombian person online, or are planning to hire people or invest in Colombia this year.  When searching for an investigator in Colombia, it can be difficult to find someone with the proper training, resources and experience to get the evidence you need.  It can even be hard to find someone who speaks your language!  Finding the right investigator to uncover the evidence you need is no easy task.  Later in this article, we will provide advice on how to find and choose an investigation professional.

In the romantic relationships case, especially in cases of online dating, social media or adult webcams, Colombia is one of the highest risk countries for romance fraud in Latin America. Women from Colombia have a reputation for their beauty and charm, and scammers have taken advantage of this situation to make a living. It is very common to find wealthy foreigners searching for love in Colombia, and although some people might disapprove the sugar daddy deal, the truth is that both parties are well aware of what is expected from them. However, marriage fraud and romance scams are different in the fact that there is a victim who is not aware that they are being deceived for money.

Adult webcam relationships in Colombia (and in other countries) are often focused on money, and money alone.  It is critical to verify these relationships early on.

For those who have met someone online (or in person) from Colombia, the best advice is to invest in a dating background check investigation to have a clear picture of the person you are getting involved with. Clear and reliable evidence can make all the difference between heartache and a financial disaster, or peace of mind and real love.

Employers in the U.S. and Europe are also searching for candidates in Bogota with more frequency. Colombia has some of the best universities in the region, and a good portion of professionals speak English fluently. This is an incentive for employers to look for talent in this country, but it is also important to keep in mind that employment background checks in Colombia are needed just as much as anywhere else in the world.

How to get a background check in Colombia?

To be safe, the first step is to find reputable private investigators in Colombia that can deliver the evidence you require. It is important to consider that an investigation firm will be a better option than an independent investigator. A solid business needs to keep a high standard in their work in order to remain in business. An independent investigator could simply leave with your money in their pocket and face no real consequences. Look for a company with a track record that can be verifiable. Anyone can fake a website, but if you do your homework, you should be able to find information that proves the company has been in business for a while, reviews that back-up their claims of service, and entities that support or attest that the business is on the up and up (like Wymoo’s A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau and verification by TrustedSite, TrustPilot, etc).

The next step is to prepare the information you will need to provide to your selected investigation firm. In order to conduct a thorough background check investigation, investigators need data on the subject to start with. Regardless of the reason you need the background check for (personal or employment), ask as many questions as possible so the subject can be verified through official sources. A full name and date of birth is the most basic information required for any investigation, but take the time to ask for other personal information like address, employment and education history. This will help identify if there are inconsistencies in a person’s claims, which in turn helps investigators determine whether they are a fraud or looking for financial gain only. When possible, having an ID or passport sample of the subject is very beneficial.

Keep in mind that a good part of the success of the investigation depends on the data you can collect, and the other part on the abilities, experience and access to information of the investigators in the ground.
