Dissatisfaction of service
Today 2nd May 2022
My sister and I have been advised that Robert Harris/Singer is going to sue us. This is because of a negative Facebook review of his services. Robert also said that he intends to get a statement from the person he was asked to find the new address for. Ethical? I think not. My sister contacted them after the unexpected death of her son. Her intention was to find 2.5 year old grandaughter, as she and her son had been the child's primary carers. She paid him £850 gave the address of the child's other grandmother in London. The very next day he said he'd found her, giving my sister the very same address she had given him the previous day. He threatens and shouts and is extremely rude and aggressive. I'm concerned about the man's ethics in general. I am also reporting him to the police.

These guys are absolute scammers. They didn't get the results I needed and when I asked for my money back he threatened me and said he would tell the other party that I was trying to look for them. Avoid at all costs and go elsewhere. This man is a con artist
This complaint will be gone soon wait and see he delete them
Unethical behaviour
I was ordered an investigation and Robert Harris take this job. Then I find out from Robert Harris that money ended and I should send him more and more. Investigation was ended with zero results, it's mean that he even didn't start. So this is a common scam. I reported to the police and looks like changing his last name, I can see it from the last...

Private investigators
I don't normally write reviews but i had such an awful experience with these people that I felt compelled to warn others. Firstly, I wanted to find an old friend and dealt with someone called Robert, who I now know is Robert Singer. Initially he was polite and helpful. I asked him to do the work and he quoted me a fee - not very inexpensive I might add but...
