How They Find Your Account

There are three basic tools that investigators use to locate bank and brokerage accounts:

  1. Sources.
  2. Pretext.
  3. Individual reference services, also known as "look-ups" or "locators."
As we know from our own experience, in most cases, one or the other of these tactics will produce the desired information.
