Western Investigations INTERNET SCAM ARTIST. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY Chula Vista California
Unfortunately my husband and I have the same story as everyone else who has left a review here. We had hired Western Investigations (Patrick Schneeman) to do an investigation of a subcontractor who had filed a fraudulent workman's comp claim against our business. Upon initial contact with Patrick, he seemed trustworthy and concerned claiming that he has worked with State Fund many times in fraudulent workman's comp cases and would be starting on our case right away. Although the outcome of the case was not guaranteed, in the event that Patrick found evidence against the subcontractor, he stated he would provide pictures, video, and a formal written report of his findings. Immediately after writing a check to him we had an extremely difficult time contacting him. When we were able to get a hold of him, he would usually tell us that he was, "out of town" or "working on another case." Eventually he put Dan Quidang, one of his investigators, on our case who was somewhat easier to get a hold of but still did not perform as contracted. We ended up taking matters into our own hands to obtain evidence for our case because Patrick and Dan were so unreliable. Sadly, we gave these two crooks a total of $5000 dollars with absolutely NOTHING in return. No pictures, no video, no formal written report, no contact. In an effort to prevent some other crook from defrauding us and our business, we hired Western Investigations believing that professional help would get us what we needed to close our case but, we ended up being defrauded by Patrick Schneeman and Dan Quidang instead. They are nothing more than internet scam artist who have no intention of providing any type of service but ONLY have the intention of stealing your money. Anyone reading this who is considering hiring this company do your research. If you go to dca . ca . gov you can search his license number (18932) and you will find that his license expired on 6/30/16 and prior to it becoming expired, he had been operating with a delinquent license for almost a year before. Furthermore, if you do your research on his accomplice Danielo E. Quidang you will find his mugshot along with information of his 2 year prison sentence for theft, possession of property, and possession of contraband. DO NOT HIRE THEM, THEY ARE FRAUDSTERS.
