Description

I found a private investigator service (Web Hunt Hub) for social media monitoring through Bark.com. Will (332) 209-6587 contacted me by phone and text and quoted me $500 to clone a phone for social media monitoring. The next morning, he said that “During the device cloning, we identified the presence of anti-spyware software on the target’s device, specifically within the control panel. While we are not making any assumptions about how it was installed, we will proceed with bypassing it as previously outlined” and required me to pay and additional $850. At this point, he had already taken my $500, and the service was already initiated, and I knew I wasn’t going to get it back. So I pleaded to lower the price and and he agreed to $250. After he received my final payment, he no longer replied to any of my calls, texts, or emails.
