Herman O.

I'm Joey Ortega, a professional investigator, intelligence analyst, author, and founder of Joey Ortega Intel, LLC. I've spent more than 20 years investigating everything from corporate fraud and organized crime to cybercrime, stalking, and complex online threats. I began my investigative career at 18, working insurance fraud and surveillance cases before moving into corporate investigations for companies including Sears, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Kmart. Since then, I've worked on cases involving corporate espionage, missing persons, financial fraud, digital forensics, and sophisticated cyber harassment. My areas of expertise include: Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT): Advanced online investigations, digital footprint analysis, identity research, and intelligence gathering. Background Investigations & Due Diligence: Research into individuals, businesses, corporate relationships, and potential risks. Cybercrime & Digital Investigations: Online fraud, impersonation, cyberstalking, harassment, and digital evidence analysis. Threat Assessment: Stalking, threatening behavior, behavioral analysis, and risk evaluation. Corporate Investigations: Fraud, misconduct, internal threats, and corporate espionage. Asset Tracing & Financial Intelligence: Following financial trails, identifying assets, and uncovering business relationships. Intelligence Analysis & Reporting: Turning scattered information into clear, well-documented, actionable findings. A little more about my background My investigative work has been featured in PI Magazine, and I've worked with private individuals, attorneys, corporations, celebrities, and other high-profile clients. I'm also the author of several books on OSINT, including 2026 OSINT Desk Reference and Follow the Money, used by investigators and law enforcement professionals internationally. Beyond fieldwork, I've trained investigators and legal professionals, and hosted a true crime radio show featuring interviews with FBI profilers, forensic pathologists, and other leading experts. My approach is simple. I don't believe in handing clients a pile of search results and calling it an investigation. Finding information is one thing. Knowing where to look, how to verify it, what it means, and how the pieces fit together is another. That's where experience makes the difference. Whether you need a straightforward background investigation or help untangling a complicated case, I bring the same attention to detail, discretion, and investigative discipline to every assignment.
