ICU is gearing up for the “Perfect Storm” this season. November, December, January, are opportune months for surveillance on your claimants. With the Holiday season fast approaching, it has been our experience over the last 22years of insurance claims investigations that claimants are extremely active this time of the year. Whether its Holiday Shopping on Black Friday, Raking, Hanging up their outside Christmas lights and Holiday decorations, Plowing and Shoveling snow, Attending, Parties and Parades, Driving and Traveling to visit Family and Friends.
Even working under the table to pick up some extra cash this time of the year.

CLAIMANTS ARE ACTIVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR!

Internet Profile Update

On November 19, 2010 the social networking site MySpace has signed an agreement with Facebook allowing users to sign into MySpace using their Facebook account information. Users will also be able to sync MySpace and Facebook status updates and photographs.

This new information brings new opportunities to us as insurance claims investigators, with over 500 Million members on Facebook and MySpace. This merger will allow investigators to gain valuable insight on claimants who post their daily activities and lifestyle on these sites. However there are new challenges we are faced with as investigators as this merger will also inhibit the investigation process due to users increasing their privacy settings.
We at ICU Investigations stay on top of the latest technology and techniques to provide our clients with the best internet research investigators available.
