OF-PROINTELLIGENCE
CASE 0417 · MONDAY 09:14

Is this company real?

You send me a name. I find out who is really behind it.

Before you pay, sign or invest. Within 48 to 72 hours you get my verdict, the evidence behind it, and my name under it. Scroll down and watch me work a case.

"New cashew supplier in Accra wants €84,000 upfront before Friday. Everything looks professional. Website, registration, a director with a photo. Can you check them before I pay?"

STEP 01 · MONDAY 09:30

I don't trust what they show. I look at what they left behind.

Registers in several countries. Archived versions of their website. Where the director's photo shows up elsewhere. Who registered the domain, and when. All public, all quiet. They never know I was there.

"Everyone leaves traces.
Most people just look in the wrong place."

ILLUSTRATIVE CASE · ANALYST NOTEBOOK · CASE 0417MON 09:30
  1. registry lookup "Example Agro Export Ltd"! A real exporter with this name exists. Its directors are different people.
  2. whois example-agro.example! Domain registered 6 days ago, privacy-masked. The real exporter uses a different domain.
  3. reverse image search: director_photo.jpg! Same face on 2 other company sites, other names.
  4. "+44 20 ••• ••47" fraud OR scam! A UK number, in 2 published fraud warnings.
  5. sanctions + adverse media: all names· No hits. The pattern is already clear.
  6. archive.org: example-agro.example! Site text copied from the real exporter's website.
STEP 02 · TUESDAY 16:40

Then the pieces start to connect.

One finding is a coincidence. Five that point the same way is a pattern.

WEST AFRICA DESK

Doing business in West Africa? Most partners are real. Some aren't.

Lagos, Accra, Abidjan, Dakar: fast-growing markets full of serious companies. Where money moves fast, impostors follow, often from far outside the region. I check the partner, not the country. Before your first payment, your first container, your first signature.

FROM THE DESK

Briefings from the desk.
