What this service does
Identity theft moves fast, so we respond the same week. The first days decide how much evidence survives and how much money can still be clawed back. Here is what to do in the first 48 hours — and where we come in.
- Freeze your credit at all three bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — and add a fraud alert. It is free, it stops new accounts from being opened in your name, and our credit-freeze and carrier port-out-PIN guide walks through it step by step.
- Lock down email and banking first. Change those passwords and turn on app-based two-factor — your email is the master key to everything else.
- Report it on the record. File the FTC affidavit at IdentityTheft.gov and a local police report; you will need both to dispute fraudulent accounts.
- Preserve the evidence. Do not delete the fraudulent emails, texts, or statements — screenshot everything with dates before it disappears.
- Bring in forensics. We trace how your information was exposed, find any ongoing access, and turn the trail into a documented case banks, regulators, and counsel cannot wave away.
For many routine cases those free steps — a credit freeze and the recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov — resolve the problem on their own, and they cost nothing.
A forensic investigation earns its keep when there is stolen money to trace, complex multi-account or synthetic-identity fraud to untangle, or a perpetrator to identify.
If your case is not there yet, we will tell you that on the first call rather than sell you an engagement you do not need.
Engagements are confidential and structured to begin within 48 hours of the consultation.
Some service tracks are offered at a fixed fee; complex investigations are billed hourlywith a clear scope, milestone updates, and a cap agreed up front.
Quinn (Founder and CEO) sets the methodology every engagement runs under and reviews case findings before they leave the practice; the practitioner team executes the technical work under her methodology.
- A direct line to Quinn, the founder — not a sales pipeline.
- Worked in-house by the examiner who scoped it.
- Explainable findings you can verify, with the methodology shown.
What this means for you
- Written scope before any work. You see a written scope — deliverables, timeline, and price — and approve it before we begin. You are never billed for work you did not authorize.
- We commit to findings, not outcomes. We tell you up front what the evidence can and cannot establish. Recovery, attribution, and prosecution are decided by banks, platforms, insurers, and courts — we produce the record they act on, and we put that distinction in writing.
- Every case is investigated, not just scanned. A credentialed examiner reviews every case before findings leave the practice. You get a documented investigation to court-admissible standards — not a single automated scan and a one-line answer.
- We will tell you if you do not need us. If a free or simpler step — a police report, an IC3 filing, a platform's own recovery flow — would resolve your situation, we point you there first.
How an engagement begins
- Confidential consultation. NDA-protected. 30-60 minutes. Direct conversation, no sales process.
- Scoped engagement. Written proposal with defined deliverables and pricing — fixed fee where it applies, hourly with milestone caps for open-ended investigations.
- Investigation and findings. Documented methodology and chain of custody so findings can withstand courtroom scrutiny. Written report you can act on.
Why this work matters
Quinn sets the methodology behind every identity theft recovery engagement and holds 9 active certifications across GIAC — a methodology informed by her own work as a contractor inside Fortune 50 enterprise environments and built to hold up under litigation scrutiny.
