Who's listening to your voice mail messages?

Most people don't that there are others who routinely check other people's voice mail. This is easily done. For example, when you buy a new answering machine it comes with a preset, easy to remember, security code. Very few people bother to change it. When they do, they enter something that's easy for them to remember, and for others to find out.

Even if you have voice mail through your telephone company, you'll likely pick a security code that you can easily remember.

So, imagine for a minute that someone listens to your voice mail. What personal or business secrets could they learn? What kind of messages do people typically leave for you. In some cases, it could get really embarrassing. It could cost businesses a lot of money, too.

One indication that your voice mail has been tampered with is the discovery of a non-working pass code when you try to call from another number to retrieve your messages. Another clue is that you believe that messages have been deleted. Maybe a friend tells you that they left a message, but there are no messages.

At Sherlock Investigations we have equipment to help our clients know when and who is listening to their voice mail messages. Our equipment works on both cell phones and landline phones. And the best thing is that we can set it up from our office. As far as we know, Sherlock Investigations is the only company performing this service.

Before the service is set up, we'll tell you how to preserve the evidence that unauthorized persons listened to your voicemail. You can use this to confront them, or for a legal case.

If you suspect that someone's been checking your messages, either on your cell phone or landline, don't call your phone company, because they won't help you, and your cell phone company could just mess things up so that we can't find the culprit. And don't change your pass code, because that, too, could mess things up.

These services, of course, are completely legal. Sherlock Investigations does not engage in any kind of electronic eavesdropping. Please do not ask.
