Individual Credit Check 2

I want to confirm the character of the person I agree to do business with.

According to prior information, the subject was a member of executive staff at a major trading company and started his own business two years ago. But we confirmed that he actually only worked there for several months and was a normal ranking employee, far from being part of the executive team.

Bankruptcy Investigation

I invested money into the business of an acquaintance. The business was not doing well and he declared bankruptcy which exempted him from debts. He said he could not pay back the 2,000,000 yen I invested. The bankruptcy occurred a year ago and after the debt exemption was enacted last year I thought I would have to give up on the money. I heard that he started another business that seems to be doing quite well. If the bankruptcy was a lie I want to make a fraud complaint against him.

Our research found there was no bankruptcy. When we inquired the subject admitted to the lie and returned most of the money to the client.

Wiretap Search 3

One day someone calling himself a detective from “------ Detective Agency” came to my house saying radio waves from wiretaps were detected and he would remove the devices for 50,000 to 80,000 yen depending on the circumstances.

Normal in this industry, our salesmen (8 people) go directly to clients from home and back, coming in once a week for a business report, but we were told by an affiliate company that our company car has often been seen in the parking lot of a pachinko parlor. Our clientele is not related to the amusement industry. Is there a low cost way to find out the daily routine of two employees who love pachinko?

Costs were limited, so we opened an investigation that would fit inside a budget while still being affective. One of the individuals was not found to do anything out of the ordinary, but we ascertained that the other subject we investigated would leave his house in the afternoon and visit 2 to 3 clients, after which he would skip work and spend about 3 hours at a pachinko parlor.
