Global Investigations Ltd A complete ripoff that claims to be a private detective agency Surrey
*Author of original report: received threats instead of documentation and apology
*Author of original report: Received threat for the second time
*Author of original report: Jack Roberts from Global Investigations harassed my former collegaues and friends
*Author of original report: Dominic Bennett from Global Investigations Ltd threatens me and my former colleagues with obscene language
On early march 2014 I decided to contact a private investigator to find some information on an individual named M.R. Abbasi who was living in the U.K and had borrowed some money from me on the grounds of investment.
After doing some extensive research I contacted global investigation agency that had a pretty fancy website(www.globalinvestigations.co.uk/ also has two other websites tracing.com, detective agency.co.uk). Jack Roberts from the agency replied to me and informed me that the fee for tracing this person and providing me with conclusive information would cost nearly 1200USD.
I was assured by them that they were able to trace this person on the following grounds:
1-Authenticity of his residential address and Office address.
2-His real name as registered in UK address books,etc.
3-Information about his family, such as marital status, children if any.
4-Information on his close friends, especially those who went to his office
5-Why he had left his earlier work place Medical Express Clinic (www.medicalexpressclinic.co.uk/) and what the employees of that clinic said about him.
6-complete background check to see if there is any criminal records and reason for his immigration to UK, such as political refuge or else.
7- Any other information that might prove helpful.
On 21st March 2014 I made the first instalment of nearly 718 USD to Global investigation's PayPal account (Transaction ID 2F593740KK185930K).
On 4th April 2014 Jack contacted and informed me that he had some news and I was requested to make the second instalment of nearly 600USD to the same PayPal account, which I did on 11th April 2014 (Transaction ID 6Y88052181534744D).
On the same day I received what was to be a conclusive report on my case.
This was sent to me by one Marcello Fiorellion. It was not at all anything similar to what I had been promised.
The document contained 14 pages with fancy logos but did not contain anything that I didn’t already know
In other words, the so called private detectives had used the same data I had given them, including; names, addresses, phone numbers, photos, websites, etc and made a completely obsolete and unrealistic report
This report claimed that: 1-None of the addresses and phone numbers I had provided them, led to this person and the residents at both addresses did not know such a person even existed!!!!
2-The office address I had asked them to confirm, was claimed in the report to be an abandoned coffee shop!!
3-At the end of the report I was suggested to pay the agency some more money so they would try to locate him.
Being so shocked by this data and almost suspicious I decided to relay this info to a distant friend of mine in London and asked him to check one of the addresses which M.R.Abbasi introduced as his current working office and his privately owned clinic(184 Finchley Road, London) which the investigators had claimed was an abandoned cafe.
To my surprise my relative visited the address and realized that the so called cafe had been renovated to a new Healing office managed by the same M.R. Abbasi that I was trying to trace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another mistake by the detective agency was to fail in giving any report on the previous working place at Medical Express Clinic (at Harley Street, London).
After my constant demands on 14 April the agency claimed that they had actually contacted the clinic and no one recognized any person by the name Abbasi.
This really tingled my curiosity so I tried calling the clinic myself and to my astonishment, the vice president of clinic, Dr.Bakhtiar, mentioned that Abbasi used to work with them for a short while but now has left.
Upon contacting global investigation and demanding an explanation regarding obsolete info, they again replied me on 17th April feeding back my own story to myself!!!!!!!!!!!
In the conclusion of the report, Agency claimed that no such a person with the name Abbasi probably exists in the United Kingdom and he definitely had used a bogus name.
However on February 2015 it was completely proven to me that Global investigation is a 100 percent fraud itself when I saw the news of Abbasi's arrest on
Which proved not only his real name was true but also his office address and home address were correct and his name was in fact listed as a criminal with records.
Giving the entire account I know that I deserve a complete refund of my 1200 USD dollars since this agency did not conduct any research on the person I had asked and instead provided me with wrong data that they googled without stepping out of their office. Therefore should refund my money instantly.
Even if I don’t get a refund, people deserve to know that this detective agency is a fraud itself and avoid trusting such agencies in the future.

Dominic Bennett from Global Investigations Ltd threatens me and my former colleagues with obscene language
#2Author of original report
Wed, July 15, 2015
Once again on 10th July 2015 someone using a Facebook profile named “Dominic Bennett” (Probably an alias of Jack Roberts) on behalf of the Global Investigator Ltd. once again contacted my former colleagues at A.M Association.
Using obscene and impolite language, this person imposed countless threats and verbal abuses on me, asking that I am to either remove my report against Global Investigations. Ltd on ripoofreport.com or I will not see the next Christmas!
In the first part Dominic Bennett, first mocks my friend's explanation that I am no longer part of their organization, followed by verbal abuses against me and my sister.
I have copied and pasted his dialogue and have also included screen shots of his Facebook messages (all the misspelling is from his side).
Obscene language and abusive words have been edited based on website policy.

Dominic Bennett:
"WE HAVE SO MANY PROFILES .."
"that is funny he doesn’t work for you >? He the founder of you !

"...and we will name your sister and the family in the UK and then I will send my colleagues to you and your offices in Armenia .

"...as we know full well amir is with you, i suggest if you don't want your company destroyed then you get hold amir and ask him to contact us , and be careful who you call names to, as we can do what we want, i suggest you get amir to take down his very foolish remarks on the internet and we will cease from contacting you or me sending any representatives to see you .. i do hope you understand

This is AMIR, ISNT IT , AND YOU ARE hiding behind the keyboard.
Thank you for your picture online, it is nice."
(Added my picture from my linkedin.com page)
"..HAPPY CHRISTMAS ... i hope its not your last"
"now do something about this c*** you posted .

My response:
“Jack Roberts” and “Global Investigators Ltd.” Charged me 1200 USD for a simple investigation on a person based in UK (named M.R Abbasi) and instead they presented me with a complete false report which claims this individual does not exist in the United Kingdom. (The complete story has been explained in my first post here)
One year later, that individual which according to their false report was operating under a fake identity!, has been arrested by Police of London at the exact address and place with the same name and occupation that I had provided them to investigate on him!
Do you expect me to contact you and ask for reasons that why you gave me such a fake report?
It is obvious you took the money and faked the report because you were sure I would never find out since I am not in the UK.
You cannot conduct another investigation because the individual is already in jail and your lies exposed! So what am I supposed to ask of you other than exposing your fraud online?
You are fully aware that making such remarks online is absolutely illegal and against the law.
If you do not apologise on ripoffreport.com for your abusive behaviour and If you don’t refund my money in full, I shall have to take other legal actions through the U.K Police on charges of online money fraud through “UK's Fraud and Internet Crime Reporting Centre” and will expose all your threats and your fake report as well as the name of your organization with all the transaction records.
I hereby attach screen shots of all his conversations on 10th July 2015. I have also re-added the previous conversation from 7th of July 2015 since the pictures were not attached to my earlier update.

On 10 July 2015 I was approached by my former colleagues and friends working in A.M Association who had received impolite and threatening messages from Jack Roberts.
Even though they explained to him that I am no longer a part of their organization he carried on his unsphosticated manners once again.
I hereby have attached a copy of the facebook conversation between Jack and one of my former collegause.
Received threat for the second time

Received threat for the second time.
On 8 July 2015 I got another message from Jack Roberts, this time on my wordpress account, repeating the same manners instead of offering any regrets.
I think the content speaks for itself and I do not need to elaborate anything since I have done so before. Here is the content:
"i have sent you messages on the yahoo account and LinkedIn, do you need me to send someone there to you and directly talk to you ?? as you don't seem to want to reply to my urgent messages , JACK"

received threats instead of documentation and apology

Tue, July 07, 2015
On 7th of July 2015 I recieved four identical messages from Jack Roberts on my Linked in page with the following content:
"Amir,
You have left some incredibly derogatory remarks on the internet “ rip off “site about my company in which you have gone into a very long explanation of how we have provided you with inaccurate information.
We have noted that you set out your objectives to us and these were met. The points you have bought up in your slur are completely untrue. It is clear to me that you have not understood the report accurately which is not a fault to me or my company.
I would urge you to remove this immediately otherwise I will be forced to prosecute you.
I am able to contact the authorities and I am also able to state your full name and all the names assoicated on the file including all families names and details on the site as you have done with me and my colleague.
In my 20 years of business, I can safely say that this is the first time someone has complained about us without contacting us and bringing their concerns and I find this completely ridiculous that you have done so in this manner approximately a year later.
and that you then asked us to be LinkedIn friends and thanked us for the work.
Think very carefully over your next reply and decisions, as you never EVER complained to us.
as I will instruct my people in Armenia and the USA as well as give your details to my solicitors and local agents in Armenia and Azerbaijan who will see this as a direct attack on them and us.
i will wait for your reply before instigating our full retribution on this.
Jack Roberts
managing director"
Well here is my answer to you
Jack
I am rather astonished by your misplaced anger and threats which are by the way very inappropriate and unlawful.
You should choose your words wisely as your threats are against the law and I urge you to immediately apologize to me since you are the one who did not understand the report.
Let me put it shortly for you since you obviously didn't read my previous complaint.
You and your company provided me with erroneous and wrong info on the person I had introduced and asked to be investigated on (Mohammad Reza Abbasi);
-Your report specifically mentions that M.R Abbasi doesn't exist in United Kingdom, is neither listed in UK nor in electoral, is not even living in the address provided, and that no other man similar to him lives in the address I provided.
-However,one year later,( after your faulty report) this person (Mohammad Reza Abbasi) has been actually arrested by the police of UK in London at his office, with the same name and identity and at the same address I had given you and you said did not exist!!!
-So You are the one at fault and not me for I found out about your dishonest and erroneous report only after this person was arrested and his name and picture was published in the news. He is a UK resident and lived at the exact same address I had given you to investigate, which you didn't (apparently you thought since I don't live in the UK I will never find out about your trick!)
But you never predicted that the person I wanted investigated, was actually a criminal and would be eventually arrested and I would find out about it!
-Your report clearly states that such a person with this name and national security number (which I provided) is not listed anywhere in UK, doesn't exist and is probably a con-artist operating under a faked identity with fake address!
While the same person has been arrested at the exact same address I had given you which according to police report, was his office since March 2014.
You took 1200USD dollars and did not provide any real information although I demanded you to provide documentation for it. ( but you did not provide any documentation and after several of my emails you asked for more money to be able to continue the investigation which you had not even started).
You know it better than I do that none of the points that I mentioned on "rip off report " would be unreasonable otherwise instead of making dangerous threats you would answer each and every one of them with respect and reason.
I have lots of documents and emails that prove you did not even leave your chair to investigate and I would be more than happy to provide them to any court of law and let the law decide between you and the police of London.
The point which is clear to me now is that you don't have concrete evidence to prove your point, which is why you have chosen to threaten me in an attempt to scare me and get rid of me which is quite unprofessional and illegal.
