At Social Detection, "we're going beyond the surface web," using up to 50 identifiers, including nicknames, user names, email addresses, aliases, relatives, Facebook tags, texts, photos, and videos, ensuring more informed searches and, consequently, more relevant results, said David Graham, 52, another owner and director of business development.
Two private investigators in the US have created Social Detection, a digital tool that helps insurers identify fraudulent claims, estimated to be worth up to $12bn a year in the US. Using information publicly available on the internet, the company claims its proprietary software identified eight cases in six months that saved insurance carriers and employers more than $7m.
