Fox Forensics Unclaimed

My friend Luthabo, who posted a review, directed me to this site as I referred Mr Wouter de Swardt to him. De swardt wsas helpful at first, before we paid him. He seemed professional and we hired him because of his Psira registration and nice website etc However, it didn't take long for us to realise that we weren't receiving the promised progress reports or updates. He had given us a two to three month window for the investigation, and when we asked for our report well beyond that time, he simply stopped returning our calls and emails. We ultimately had to locate a new PI and make another payment. Thankfully, the PI was great this time around; When he did, he was able to verify that Mr. de Swardt had done nothing at all. This Wouter man has a very bad and sinister reputation, including for taking people's money and not doing any work, as well as for being hired to investigate people in order to create evidence about them for clients with highly suspicious motives.

When looking for information on Fox Forensics or its owner, Wouter de Swardt, I discovered these reviews, which reflect our own experiences. We can’t find a website for him, and unsure even if the Psira membership is genuine/current. However, since having paid him a near six figure sum in advance as requested, we have heard nothing from him. We had to call him and he always had excuses; "investigations take time", "it's not an exact science", "results cannot be guaranteed", But investigation we had requested was simple, and when we realised we’d been deceived and looked into it it turns out he had not done a thing. A year as passed with no contact and our calls are ignored which leaves us in a terrible financial position Our trust in the idea of private investigations has been so badly. What hope is there for people needing genuine professional investigations if the private investigator himself is a criminal

Wouter de Swardt of Fox Forensics took a large amount of money from us to conduct and investigation but as soon as we had paid him, we never heard from him again and despite our best attempts to get our money back he refused to return our calls or emails. When we involved the police they were very helpful at first but then we heard nothing. When we hounded them for a response the officer investigating although it was not the first complaint about Mr de Swardt and Fox Forensics business practices and methods he said he could not help as Mr de Swardt was too connected with friends in the police service he ws "untouchable"

Please remove these people from your listing, they are skelms.

What a poor excuse for a company. They don't return calls after you part with your money. If it didn't cost so much to sue them i would. Shocking

Don't bother with these clowns. The phones are never answered, emails are not responded to and their website has been "under construction" for months. What a waste of money.

I can sum these guys up in one word: Untrustworthy!

A very poor experience. I guess what they say about investigator companies is true. They take your money and laugh in your face afterwards.
