How To Get Deleted Text Messages

If you are trying to catch your cheating spouse or partner, one of the things that you might be secretly looking for are the text messages to and from the third-party.  However, sometimes the cheating spouse can be very crafty and erase these texts before you get the chance to review them.  Luckily, Victory Investigations can retrieve these Deleted Text Messages using the exact same technology law enforcement uses.

Despite what you may read on the internet, there is no way to retrieve deleted data remotely. The actual device must be analyzed using specialized software and hardware.  In some cases, a backup file of the device can be analyzed for deleted data.

NOTE:  There are several different apps and spyware options on the market today that can be installed to retrieve data as it is transmitted, but it is illegal to implement on anyone's device without their consent. Many parents choose to use this type of software to monitor their children, but this may present another legal issue. This due to the fact that the parent will also be intercepting communication from their child's peers in the process.

Things to Consider

The way cell phone data works is that all information is stored in internal memory and memory cards. Some SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards may hold useful data as well.  Just because a message is deleted does not necessarily mean that the information is lost completely.  It still may be stored in this memory, but only for a indeterminate period of time.  The more that your potentially cheating spouse uses the phone and sends and receives text messages, the higher your chances of this memory being overwritten with new text messages or other data. 

If you want to retrieve these messages and save them for posterity, perhaps using them in the future as “proof” that you have caught your spouse red-handed, then you need a reliable software for Deleted Text Messages and a professional who will acquire this data so that no information is lost forever.  In addition to preserving the data, the examiner can testify as an expert witness in the event your case goes to trial or if the data obtained is scrutinized for authenticity. That’s where Victory Investigations can help.  We will keep a forensic report of all text messaging for you, keeping copies of all deleted texts and other valuable data before they are overwritten.

Don’t Be Fooled by Cheap Imitations

If you were to go online and search for software that will retrieve Deleted TextMessages, you will find hundreds of different options.  Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations.  There are a lot of online marketers who will be happy to sell you an inferior product for a highly inflated price.  Many of these software programs are simply nothing more than an SIM reader and most of the data you need will not be present on the SIM card.  Don’t pay for something that won’t work.

You’ll need to know the type of phone that your spouse is using.  For example, the top three in popularity are the Apple iPhone, RIM's BlackBerry, and the Google Android.  Again, there will be different types of programs that can be used based on the brand and model of cell phone.  By providing Victory Investigations with the make and model of the cell phone that your cheating spouse uses on a daily basis, we can provide your options and ultimately retrieve those Deleted Text Messages.

Why February 14th Should Be Named “Mistress Day”

It’s true! February 14th aka Valentine’s Day should be dubbed “Mistress Day”. The reason for this is because if your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, or partner is having an affair, this is the day they will meet up with their lover – guaranteed. In fact, you’re cheating spouse or significant other will have already met with their lover to give them their gift, which will be much more expensive than the gift you will receive. Why? Because a typical excuse, such as “I have to work late.” won’t fly on the day of love. AND the new “squeeze” is where all your guy or gal’s attention is – so the more extravagant gift it is. It’s usually sexy lingerie and romance for her and the obligatory flowers for you. Noel Biderman of the cheating website, Ashley Madison.com, says that 79% of male cheaters will spend February 13th with a mistress and February 14th with their partner. As a private investigator, who has worked thousands of hours on adultery and infidelity cases, the male or female cheater and their lovers often see each other on the following day (Feb. 15th) as well; leaving YOU and your heart in their wake. If you suspect your spouse or significant other of adultery / infidelity, be on alert over the next week and especially a few days before Valentine’s. If you have a gut feeling you’re being betrayed, you are more than likely right. Trust your gut and get proof to either move on or gain peace of mind that he or she is being faithful.

Spies Like Us

Most of us are under no delusions that "BIG Brother" is watching us and listening to our conversations. But do we really know the extent to which the government can reach into our personal lives?

Billions of electronic and voice communications are transmitted through networks across the world every day and our government and some other governments have the technology to intercept them all. And they do. I know what you're thinking...Yeah, but the government and law enforcement only listen to those they have good cause to listen to....Maybe, but they can monitor you and me by the authority of the Patriot Act and I'm of the opinion that, although they may not monitor all data, they do store it for future use. With that said, I believe this massive power is a good thing in terms of protecting our country from domestic and foreign terrorists and other adversaries of the United States.

Companies such as Microsoft and Verint have developed technology that makes all this "spying" possible.

"Legal Intercept" by Microsoft is an application by which they can reroute any VoIP communication through a recording agent before it reaches the intended recipient. VoIP may include  instant messaging protocols that transmit audio, audio messages transmitted via gaming systems, video conferencing software, Skype and Skype-like applications, meeting software, etc. Since being acquired by Microsoft, Skype's security has come into question because of known law enforcement agency pressure to enable them access to the data. While most VoIP communication is encrypted, some is not and can be easily intercepted by anyone with internet access and some know how. After all, VoIP does run through the PUBLIC internet. Even cell networks aren't as secure as they claim and many of the applications riding on the network are not secure, which use Session Initiation Protocol or SIP sessions that are exposed to anyone that has access to the network.

Verint, also an American company, has developed what are called "Monitoring Centers". These monitoring center solutions enable the interception, monitoring, and analysis of target and mass communications over virtually any network. Verint's systems are primarily used to target certain criminal elements and terrorist groups, however, the technology can be tailored to collect and store millions of citizen's emails and phone calls for later analysis. Verint's "Vantage Monitoring" allows "nationwide mass interception” that “efficiently collects, analyzes, and exposes threats from billions of communications.” The company also states it can help governments automatically identify people from the sound of their voice using speech identification software, intercept the cellular and satellite mobile phone communications of “mass populations over a wide area” using a covert portable device, and provide data-mining tools to build detailed profiles about criminals and other “negative influencers” in real time. Verint's technology is being used in over 75 countries. A little scary to say the least.

On a much smaller scale, your private life can be infiltrated by someone close to you by using simple applications and other software. There are programs (spyware) written specifically to monitor someone’s cell phone activities. This software can track you using your phone's GPS capabilities. It can monitor your text conversations, see what pictures you take or receive from others, capture email and social media activity, and even listen in on your calls. Spyware for the computer is also available and very powerful. Even though it’s possible for this breach of privacy to occur, Victory Investigations can detect and nullify the program for you.

There are also very good applications for this type of monitoring technology. If you have a troubled teen or child and feel like you have no control or just feel the need to know what they're up to, call us. We can offer effective solutions to fit your needs.
