DONT USE THIS SERVICE.
I decided to use Digital Forensics pretty quickly after I ran into an issue with extortion. I was racked with nerves and they absolutely took advantage of that. But I felt I had nowhere else to turn. They carry a very high price tag because they know they can get away with it. I agreed to the 7 day service and set up a payment plan with a deposit. At first they were pretty quick about following up and getting started. But it took me a little over a week before I actually got my phase 1 report. They showed me the messages they exchanged with the scammer. The scammer was clearly upset and threatened to leak the content. They were unable to get any confirmation that the scammer deleted the blackmail. So it’s still out there potentially. Thankfully i temporarily deactivated all my accounts and set them up so that a scammer couldn’t locate them using the information they had on me. I also informed my network so they knew. It was embarrassing sure, but it’s what I should’ve done from the beginning. Digital Forensics essentially did nothing but piss off the scammer and sent them into hiding, but is gladly taking a large sum of money (over 5k) in the process. I just feel like I got double scammed. I wish I had read these reviews and taken them seriously before I decided to use their services. I would’ve gone a very different route. The scammer hasn’t contacted me since, but it doesn’t mean they won’t. Digital Forensics will try to push you into getting their phase 2 service to take care of this sort of thing. Don’t do it. I can only speak from my experience. Some reviewers seem to have had this work for them, but it didn’t work for me and I’m still stuck paying a big price tag for it.
