  Dear BBB Representative,
  
  I am writing to formally file a complaint against Digital Forensics Corp regarding deceptive business practices and failure to deliver promised services.
  
  In June 2024, I engaged Digital Forensics Corp to assist with an online fraud incident. Based on their advertising and representations, I expected a thorough forensic investigation, transparency in their process, and reliable support. However, my experience was far from satisfactory.
  
  Misleading Promises: The company presented itself as a professional digital forensic service, yet failed to provide substantive results or meaningful assistance. Their initial claims about their capabilities and expertise were exaggerated.
  
  Lack of Transparency: Despite paying for their services, I received little to no clear communication about the progress of my case. When I sought clarification, I was met with evasive responses and vague assurances.
  
  Unethical Business Practices: I believe Digital Forensics Corp operates as a predatory service, taking advantage of vulnerable individuals seeking help after experiencing online fraud. They misrepresent their ability to assist and fail to deliver on their contractual obligations.
  
  Financial Loss: Due to their failure to provide adequate services, I suffered financial loss and wasted valuable time that could have been used to pursue legitimate investigative channels.
  
  I urge the Better Business Bureau to investigate Digital Forensics Corp and hold them accountable for their misleading practices. I also request that this complaint be added to their BBB record to warn other consumers about their unethical operations.
  
  Please let me know if any further details or documentation are required. I appreciate your assistance in addressing this matter.
  
  Sincerely, Maxwell Strickland

  This complaint misrepresents both the nature of our services
  and the interactions we had with Mr. ***********
  
  Mr. ********** purchased our expedited service on June 14,
  2024, and both a signed service contract and recorded voice authorization were
  obtained at the time of purchase. The work product, which he contracted for,
  was delivered on June 17, 2024, within the agreed-upon expedited time frame.
  
  Due to financial constraints, Mr. ********** was unable to
  pay the full-service fee upfront. As a courtesy, our company allowed him to finance
  the balance, extending goodwill beyond our standard payment terms. At no time
  throughout the engagement did Mr. Strickland initiate any formal complaint or
  report dissatisfaction through the channels clearly outlined in the contract he
  signed.
  
  All communication from Mr. ********** post-delivery related
  exclusively to missed payments, not concerns about service quality,
  performance, or transparency. His sudden dissatisfaction, emerging only after
  failed payment obligations, appears disingenuous and inconsistent with his
  earlier behavior.
  
  Our company is transparent in our offerings, and our
  marketing materials include clear disclaimers that no specific outcome is
  guaranteed. We deliver investigative services within the scope of the service
  agreement, and we do not misrepresent our capabilities. Any claim otherwise is
  unsupported.
  
  We are confident that this complaint is not based on a
  legitimate failure of service, but rather a misuse of the BBB process in an
  effort to evade financial responsibility.
  We have provided the signed agreement to substantiate our
  position.

  Greetings,
  We are writing to clarify our position regarding the interaction
  with the ******** ******* and our organization. 
  Upon review of the recorded call with our representative, his statement was
  that the customer’s assertion of a deliberate failure on our part to identify
  the issue do to the alleged political connections seemed to be an
  unsubstantiated and improbable conclusion “a bit of a reach.”
  We wish to assure the BBB and Mrs. ******* that Digital
  Forensics Corp (DFC) operates with the utmost integrity and has not affiliation
  nor collaborative agreements that would compromise the quality and impartiality
  of our services or findings. Our goal is to provide effective assistance to all
  our customers.
  To demonstrate our commitment to resolving this matter and
  to ensure there is no perception of ill-will towards the customer, we will be
  issuing a full refund of the services she purchased. We have already initiated
  this process and will release the funds to her upon completion of the necessary
  refund authorization.
  
  We trust that this explanation and our commitment to issuing a refund will
  address the concerns raise in this complaint.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Digital Forensics Corp.

  atement and I confided in her about my situation. She found that there were many complaints about this company to the BBB and suggested we file one. I am asking for your help in asking the company to close my case and not contact me again. My PCA is helping me change the debit card they bill and phone number and delete the email they have for me. Also she is deactivating my Facebook page. We feel my medical condition makes the contract invalid. We're trying to navigate to sign the HIPPA release form. Please let me know what else you need from us. My PCA is Nickole Elliott and it is her email and phone we listed with you.

  Greetings, 
  
  Thank you for reaching out. We understand how sensitive and
  overwhelming experiences like this can be, especially given the medical
  challenges you're facing.

  
  Had we been made aware of your condition from the beginning,
  our team would have approached this situation differently. Our agreement does
  include specific language regarding who is authorized to sign and initiate
  services on a client’s behalf, and we deeply regret that this process was not
  aligned with your needs or current circumstances.

  
  Per your request, we are officially closing your case and
  will no longer be contacting you. We also confirm that all billing and
  communication will cease immediately. No further action is required from you at
  this time in that regard.

  
  Please know that we appreciate your honesty and the steps
  you and your PCA, Nickole E******* have taken to resolve this matter. If any
  further documentation or confirmation is needed on our end to assist you in
  completing the HIPAA release or any related tasks, we will gladly cooperate
  with Ms. Elliott to make the process as smooth as possible.

  
  Thank you.

  On August 11 I spoke with a representative during a exploitation text from a scammer. I was not certain about using the service but he convinced me that I was doing the right thing. I was not sure, I thought I had called a different service, but was explained that I had a case already opened, again the scammer was harassing me during the call, again a different representative convinced me to buy there service. I was continually trying to figure out how much the service was, I had to by recommendation to sign the forms and they would get started. I foolishly gave in. I was told about how through they were, the only thing told to me was block the caller, which I did. I paid $2000. 00 dollars and was set up w/ the credit card for the remaining payment. A week later, still had not heard from digital forensics unless I inquired. When they did communicate it was to sell future protections. 10 days after the credit card I used was hacked, I had not used the card in almost a year. I called Digital forensics regarding the hack, and was explained that it could not have been them. ? I was not good with the answer that took maybe 2 minutes to come back with that answer. Hence the credit card company canceled my card and issued a new one. Each time Digital forensics has contacted me about the additional payments, when asked what the debt was that I had only given a down payment and does not count towards the service and that totally surprised me. I asked how much I had already paid, and every time was wrong, told $1500 until I said they were wrong I had paid more, oh yes I see that now. This business is possibly more harassing than the original scammer. Two weeks later on the local news they were talking about the subject and recommended to just block the caller. The ethics behind Digital forensics is very questionable. During the Digital forensics harassing texts they sent me another Individuals name and case #. there is a problem with this company

  Dear ****,
  We are writing in response to your complaint regarding your experience with our services. We understand your frustration and want to address your concerns directly.
  Firstly, we would like to clarify our standard procedure regarding communication with scammers. Our company policy prioritizes the preservation of our clients' reputations. Blocking a scammer is generally not recommended, as it can sometimes escalate the situation or lead to the release of sensitive information. This is position our company has always taken with this subject and there is nothing published by Digital Forensics Corp. which states otherwise.
  Secondly, regarding the payment schedule, the details of the service cost and payment breakdown were clearly outlined in the authorization form you signed. We encourage you to review this document to clarify any discrepancies.
  Thirdly, we addressed your accusation regarding the unauthorized shopping trip at a local Walmart, which we confirmed was not a charge made by our company.
  We understand that you have concerns about the communication and billing process. We recommend you contact our collections department directly, as they have made numerous attempts to reach you to resolve the outstanding balance. They are best equipped to address your specific billing questions and facilitate a resolution.
  We strive to provide professional and ethical services to all our clients. We take your feedback seriously and are committed to resolving this matter fairly and efficiently.
  

  Best,

  I paid nearly 4K to gave two devices forensically analyzed through stage 2. However I only received 1 device through stage 1 which provided a report to proceed with stage 2 which was to provide affidavit admissable in court. To date I have not received findings for stafe 2 on device 1 and no activity for stage 2, stage 1 for 2 devices is just under 1K. What did happen however is a recommendation to download checkpoint from the appstore and I was advised to remove it after 2 months as they only needed it for a download under surprise factor and yet it was accessed through a soc by my perpetrators. after canceling my sons credit card began being billed for the services. I have continued reaching out to them as my situation has escalated further and and implicated in crimes I am not committing. After numerous situations of being doxxed and incestigated and my freedoms threatened the company now says they only handle international cases and to go to local law enforcement who is scoffing that I was ripped off by these people. I however believe the services I was downloading were actually for services my perpetrator was engaged in to committ the offenses against me. Who were they working for and why did it do nothing but compromise me further. and where is my affidavit?

  Greetings April. 
  
  We've reviewed your complaint and would like to advise you on what was completed.  In 2022 you contacted DFC asking for assistance with Malware.  When you requested monitoring which was part of the Phase 2 system you cancelled the service in 2023 then requested re-activation two month later, then cancelled again in January of 2024.  
  
  At this point more than a year has passed since we provided the initial services and we can not speak to the current condition of these devices. 
  
  Thank you.

  Greetings Don, 
  
  With regard to the complaint you filed, we are unsure what you are looking for as far as resolution.  The choice of product and the pricing is reviewed with and chosen by the client in every instance of business with Digital Forensics Corp.  If you did not want to engage with our company for the price outlined in our service contract you were under no obligation to sign and authorize the work to be completed.  
  
  Best, 
  
  Digital Forensics Corp.
