ALS Association Fundraiser Lunch at Carrabbas
From Bill’s wife, Kim:
I hope no one minds this personal invitation but several of you ask about my brother and everyone loves Carrabbas!
There is a fundraiser luncheon for the ALS Association on Friday March 15th. There are two seatings: one at 11am and one at 12pm.
Tickets are $25 dollars. The menu is Tea, Caesar Salad, “Forever Braised” Beef Brasato with orzo and vegetables, and dessert is Sogno Di Cioccolata “Chocolate Dream”.
I am selling tickets and will be attending. Just let me know if you would like a ticket or even better would like a ticket and to go with me.
If lunch doesn’t appeal to you there is a walk coming up April 20th I will send information on that later.
***For those new folks or anyone who may not know. My brother Keith Kopka was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease four years ago. He is confined to a wheelchair and can no longer move his legs or arms***

Valentine’s Day Infidelity
According to an article I read recently, Valentine’s Day is the Black Friday of the private investigative industry. It’s the time of year that can kickstart business or create a good chunk of yearly income. Even investigators who don’t do domestic cases say they notice a bump in inquiries.
In our experience, Valentine’s Day itself is not usually busy, but the aftermath of it is. We see a similar correlation with Christmas. Why is that? It’s because that’s the time when credit card statements come in. If a wife sees a charge for Victoria’s Secret but didn’t receive a Christmas or Valentine’s Day gift from the lingerie store, she becomes suspicious, and suspicious spending habits are one sign of infidelity. Here are some others:
- Change in Affection – A cheating spouse often becomes more affectionate towards their spouse, usually in an attempt to cover it up or out of guilt, or they become less affectionate out of disinterest.
- Secretive Communication – A cheating spouse will often hide their phone, delete call logs and texts or leave the room to have conversations. They also might try to hide the screen of their computer or laptop or act suspicious while checking email.
- A New Look – A cheating spouse may make more of an effort to look nice or get in better shape in order to please the person with whom they are cheating. They may dress better or pay more attention to the style of undergarments they wear.
While none of these behaviors is definitive proof of infidelity, they are all signs to watch out for. If you find your spouse acting differently and doing one or more of the behaviors listed above, it might be time to contact a professional, licensed private investigator. Call Cape Fear Investigative at (910) 762-4374 to discuss your suspicions and we’ll come up with a way to deliver peace of mind, because peace of mind is priceless.
Tips for a Successful Divorce Case with a Cheating Spouse
When you want to find the best help for your divorce case, you want to be sure that you are going about getting this help in the right way. You will want to get help with the case before you even know for sure if your partner is cheating or if the divorce is actually going to happen. Here we will talk about why this is and how to do it successfully.
Cheating Partners: Things to Look For
No one knows your partner/spouse better than you do. If you suspect that your partner/spouse is cheating DO NOT TELL THEM. Listen to that “gut feeling” and start paying special attention to what, where and why. Where are they going? Is it for work? Is it normal for them to go there? Why are they going there? Is this a normal excuse? What is it that they tell you they have to leave and go do? Is this a normal thing they do for work and is this the normal time they usually go and do it? Did your spouse usually have their cell phone just lying around just like yours, but now you don’t see it lying around anymore? Is it always close by them now? Does it have a lock on it now? Some of these are just little things that you might see, but have never really thought about before. The most important thing to pay attention to is that “gut feeling” and call the professionals at Scout Solutions Group, LLC to get you what you need.
Cheating Partners: Getting Evidence
Getting your evidence can extremely difficult if you try to do it on your own. You will want an impartial witness for you to conduct the surveillance to get you what you need to prove your case. Hiring a private investigative company to do this is relatively easy as there are many companies all over the US. Here in Wilmington, NC alone there are approximately 35 different PI companies. Scout Solutions Group, LLC is one of the largest and most experienced. We know what works and will get the surveillance done for you.
Finding Lawyers for Divorce Cases
In North Carolina you don’t have to get video of a sex act to prove infidelity. You should meet with a family law attorney and find out exactly what you can and cannot do if you suspect infidelity and find out what your rights are. Once you have proof that your partner/spouse is cheating, the attorney you chose will consult with you on your best course of action. Scout Solutions Group, LLC is experienced in infidelity cases and can point you in the direction to finding the attorney that is right for your case.
Remember, we at Scout Solutions Group, LLC are committed to the success of our cases and we strive for excellence in every case we do. No case is the same and we always think “outside the box” to come up with a game plan for our clients.
Child Custody: What to Do When You Suspect Your Child is in an Unsafe Environment
Child custody is a hot topic for many parents and it can be a heartbreaking thing to go through. Taking a child away from a parent is a horrific ordeal for both parents and the child. Divorce has become a part of life for lots of people and seems to be a growing trend. As parents, we have to make it as easy for the children as possible. We want them to know that they are loved by both parents. It is still, however, our duty as parents to make sure that our children are safe when they go and stay with the ex-husband or -wife and that they are in a safe environment.
Finding Out the Truth
It is common to be worried about your child’s safety with your ex if you had a bad relationship or if another person has come into the life of your child. Who is this person staying with your child? What kind of person are they? Are they addicted to drugs? Are they an alcoholic? Are they violent? These are responsible and adequate concerns. By hiring a private investigative company like Scout Solutions Group, LLC, you can find out whether or not your child is in a safe environment when they are with your ex. Whether it’s a thorough background check or surveillance work, our team can help you gain the peace of mind that your children are safe when they are away from you.
Remember that we are experts and are very experienced in investigating people in child custody cases. We can help you confirm whether the fears you have over your child’s safety are founded or not.
Finding Legal Assistance
Depending on what is discovered during this investigation of the ex, you will be able to determine what kind of legal help you require. Scout Solutions can find legal representation with experience in child custody cases in order to help keep your children safe.
The safety of all children is of utmost importance. If you feel that “something’s just not right,” give us a call and we’ll discuss your “gut feeling” and come up with a plan that will help give you that peace of mind.
Who Do I Call to Help Find a Missing Person?
One of the most stressful experiences of a lifetime can be looking for a missing person. It is important to recruit as much help as you can from experts you can trust. We will discuss several factors to consider as you try to find the best people for the job.
How Much Experience do They Have?
It may seem obvious, but the first item on the list is to make sure that you enlist the help of someone that has experience. Be confident they have worked previously to find missing persons, and done so successfully, so that you can trust they will help you with your present situation.
If you are hiring a new company, then also make sure that you hire services alongside them so that you can make the most of the situation.
How Successful is Their Track Record?
It is also important to investigate the track record of the success and/or failures they have had in finding missing persons in the past. If you are contracting with a private investigator that has no history of ever accomplishing their goal in this field, perhaps you should re-think your choice. When an individual is missing you want to make sure you are using the best investigator for the job.
The thing to remember is that each company and private investigator might have different strengths and weaknesses. For example, if you are seeking a child, you will want to find people who have found lost children in the past.
How is the Payment Structured?
It may seem like one of the least important items at the time, but learning how much it costs to find missing persons can be important depending on your financial situation. You want to be sure that you are not going to be caught off guard with a large invoice that bears high interest. Take the time to look at how the company has handled late payments if you are worried about it, or ask them directly.
The bottom line is that you are going to want to find the best help that you can possibly find for your missing person issue. You want to be able to find the person as fast as possible. This is a good reason to find the ideal help, but you can’t waste time. Scout Solutions Group, LLC has experience and success. Give us a call at (910) 762-4374 so we can help you as soon as possible.
Because Peace of Mind is Priceless…
What Are Corporate Background Investigations and are They Worthwhile?
If you are a person responsible for the operation of a company and want to ensure that you enlist and hire individuals you can trust and rely on, it is a great idea to find an investigator to conduct a background investigation. The information provided may aid in maintaining the integrity of your company and also provide security and safety for the current and/or future employees. This has proven to be a useful tool and provides some history of potential employees.
Call the Experts and Benefit from Their Experience
If you are committed to excellence and obtaining the best for your company, it can be important to seek the background information for every individual that you recruit and/or potentially hire. In and effort to protect your company, it is always wise to conduct a criminal background investigation to avoid items that may be overlooked by some of the more traditional background investigations.
Call the experts and take advantage of their many years of experience. Scout Solutions, Inc. and it’s staff, possess the knowledge and skills it takes to uncover and expose information as well as provide security for all of the details that matter most to you in your particular business.
Being More Cautious Than Necessary is a Good Thing
You may think that some folks are just paranoid and that is why they seem to care so much about corporate background investigations. However, all it takes is one negative incident to occur before you realize that all that extra concern is worthwhile. Never underestimate the abilities of some individuals to attempt to cover up their past. Get informed, be certain that the individual you are considering is the right person to hire.
Too many people get away with too much before their previous improprieties are discovered. If you want to catch someone in their tracks before it is too late, it will be wise to call the experts as soon as you can.
Will it Cost Too Much?
It is much more expensive to hire someone only to find out later that you shouldn’t have. In lieu of enduring the dreadful circumstances of the unexpected discovery of a potential employee’s past issues, get the corporate background check before you commit to the hiring of the individual.
The thing to remember here is that spending a small amount of money now can save you a lot of problems later on. You can make sure that each employee is as trustworthy as they appear, and that your company will be in safe standing for years to come. This should be kept in mind before you start filling a lot of empty positions without conducting background investigations.
