We at Ethos Risk Services are happy to celebrate our 8th year of risk mitigation excellence on June 1.  It's hard to believe it has been that long since we started with just a few employees and a small group of clients who were willing to give a new company a shot.  Since then, we have grown quite a bit, expanding our service offerings and our geographical reach. 

With our full suite of services, we now have a strong presence in all 50 states and have performed investigations in more than 40 different countries. 

When people ask what I do for a living, I explain that I work in 

To avoid an extended narrative detailing the industry ins and outs, I generally choose the most entertaining element of the job.

"No, not an attorney," I say.  "We investigate stuff like fraud."

Most people are very interested when I mention words like fraud and surveillance, especially when I hit them with my favorite investigative stories.  As a communications associate at Ethos, and serving in the same capacity with other companies for a decade or so, I've reviewed thousands of investigative reports. I've seen dancers with back injuries, construction workers with bum shoulders, and even a dancer working construction.

The Examiner loves to profile Ethos team members in a Q&A session we call "The Ethos Eight." 

In this edition, we interviewed New York native and our newest operations manager, Dan Cornelius. Not a fan of soaring temperatures, Dan nonetheless turns up the heat on our clients' claimants.

As loyal readers of The Examiner know, we at Ethos are very proud of our team of investigators.  They are the lifeblood of our company and their jobs are certainly not without challenges. But challenges are what our investigators thrive on. In fact, the most challenging files are usually the most rewarding. 

In this edition of our Best Catch segment, we feature an investigation that was full of challenges that were overcome through hard work and persistence.

Ethos took in a file in which the client had very little information to provide.  Aside from the claimant's name and a partial Social Security number, we had very little to go on in order to locate the claimant and document his activities.  As part of our preliminary investigation, we identified two possible addresses for the claimant, located approximately 400 miles apart.  In efforts to confirm his residency at either address, we attempted to discreetly contact neighbors living near the two possible addresses; however, they either had no information to provide or did not wish to furnish what they did have.
