Redbeard Intelligence and Investigations is a licensed Florida private investigation and intelligence firm that helps residents across the state learn who they are truly dealing with online before trust, money, or safety is on the line. Working from corporate offices Orlando and Naples, we deliver discreet online dating and romance-scam investigations for clients throughout Florida and nationwide.
Online relationships now begin on apps, social media, and messaging platforms long before anyone meets in person, and that distance is exactly what a skilled scammer exploits. Whether you want quiet reassurance that a promising match is genuine or you suspect an established online relationship is built on lies, our investigators help you replace doubt with verified facts.
Confirms that the person behind a profile is real, single, and who they claim to be.
Exposes stolen photos, borrowed identities, and coordinated scam networks.
Surfaces undisclosed marriages, criminal history, prior fraud, and financial red flags.
Reconstructs the timeline and prepares evidence you and your attorney can act on.
Determines whether stated wealth, employment, or whereabouts hold up to scrutiny.
Serves every major Florida market from Orlando and Naples offices, with reach nationwide.
As a statewide firm, we serve individuals and families in every major Florida market and the smaller communities around them. That includes Central Florida and the Orlando area in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties; Southwest Florida around Naples, Marco Island, and Bonita Springs in Collier and Lee counties; Tampa Bay, including Hillsborough and Pinellas; South Florida from Miami-Dade through Broward and Palm Beach; the Gulf Coast around Sarasota; and Northeast Florida around Jacksonville and Duval County. Florida’s large retiree, seasonal, and snowbird population makes many residents frequent targets of online romance fraud, and we tailor each case to the community and circumstances involved.
Our Orlando and Naples offices anchor our coverage of Central and Southwest Florida, and our investigators travel across the state when a matter calls for on-the-ground work. Because online dating cases are sensitive by nature, most begin with confidential remote intake: you can reach us by phone, email, and secure file sharing from anywhere in Florida or the country without visiting an office. We respond quickly, because in an active scam the difference of a few days can protect real money and real peace of mind.
Redbeard operates, and every investigation follows state law and professional standards. We rely on open-source intelligence, public records, image and metadata analysis, and disciplined verification — never illegal surveillance, pretext that crosses legal lines, or unauthorized access to private accounts. That discipline protects your privacy and keeps our findings credible if your case ever reaches an attorney, a bank’s fraud unit, or a courtroom. Your inquiry, and the fact that you contacted us at all, stays strictly confidential.
People reach out to us at very different stages of an online relationship. Common situations include:
In each case, our goal is the same: give you clear, documented answers so you can make decisions based on evidence instead of fear or hope.
Clients choose us because we combine genuine investigative skill with the discretion these matters demand. We are Florida-licensed and locally rooted, with corporate offices Orlando and Naples and reach across the entire state. We explain what is realistically possible, scope each matter honestly, and never promise a particular outcome — only diligent, lawful work and straight answers. Above all, we treat every client with respect, knowing how personal and painful these questions can be.
Many online dating cases overlap with our other work. Related Redbeard services include background investigations, catfishing and online identity verification, cyber and digital forensic investigations, asset searches, and surveillance. When a romance inquiry uncovers deeper issues, we can expand the investigation seamlessly.
