Giving the Game Away




A friendly and much respected competitor asked us why we gave away so much of our intellectual capital on this site.... with free publications on interviewing and interrogations, fraud detection, decision centricity, codes of conduct and other important topics.  The answer is simple: we genuinely want to help with the fight against fraud, whether for a client or not.

"That's great" our competitor responded, "but you are warning the bad guys, who can plan their way around difficult questions and respond in ways you say are indicative of innocence".  This is a good point if you are not an expert  interrogator. Those of us who are, know that deceptive subjects cannot control all of their reactions in the "red mist" of a tough exchange. In fact the more the deceptive subject knows and worries about the clues he subconsciously radiates the better. The result is cognitive overload and increasing anxiety which, if properly handled by the interrogator, leads to the subject losing all confidence in his ability to succeed with deception.  It you would like a free copy of our 80 page guide on Interviewing and Interrogations, please click here. And if you represent an "Ultra-Wealthy Family" why not join us for some really mindblowing material at three restricted one day  sessions run by Campden Wealth. You can read the brochure here.

We know that by helping the victims of fraud with free information, we also assist our competitors. Some download our stuff in bulk, occasionally rebranding it under their own names. But does that worry us?  The answer is a powerful "No".

Without being too arrogant we believe we are so far ahead in our understanding of fraud, corruption, deception and other skulduggery that the knowledge we do make public helps victims without compromising our competitive advantage or the mass of even better information we reserve for our  Clients.

So, we hope you find material on our site useful and will give us the opportunity of working with you when the time comes.  Initial consultations are free of charge, in confidence and without obligation.

If you already have a "mission impossible" case that is getting nowhere we will be happy to submit a detailed Investigation Plan: again in confidence, free of charge and without obligation.
