In Episode 3 of The Angry PI, private investigator Alex Chilton goes after one of the biggest problems destroying the investigations industry: lazy investigators, fake “skip tracing,” and people relying on database reports instead of actual investigative work.What starts as a breakdown of why “skip tracing” is mostly bullshit quickly turns into a full industry-wide callout about investigators charging clients ridiculous fees for cheap database pulls, attorneys blindly trusting TLO reports, process servers pretending to be investigators, and companies refusing to learn real tradecraft.Alex explains:• The difference between skip tracing and real person locate investigations • Why database services are tools, not magic answers • How investigators waste client money running bad addresses • Why so many investigators don’t understand business or billing • The real reason surveillance and investigative quality keeps collapsing • Why attorneys and paralegals trust database reports too much • How actual investigators tie together multiple intelligence sources • Why PI work is not a side hustle for people chasing easy money • What separates real tradecraft from “run report and hope” investigationsThis isn’t a polished corporate business podcast. It’s an industry veteran dragging the private investigation world back into reality one episdoe at a time.If you’re a PI, process server, attorney, paralegal, or just curious how investigations really work behind the scenes, this podcast is for you.Visit CGA Solutions to learn more about Alex Chilton, investigative services, legal intelligence, and the work behind The Angry PI Podcast.Follow The Angry PI Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
