Skip-tracers, as the name implies, trace
people who have skipped town. Through public records searches, detective work and the occasional lie, skip-tracers find those
who don't want to be found. Finding a skip can be as easy as plugging a name into an Internet search engine or as complex
as untangling a web of false identities and dummy corporations. Many skip-tracers also help clients locate and recover money
or property.
Skips can be divided into three general groups.
There are accidental or unintentional skips, people who miss bill payments or suddenly move residences. There are frightened
skips, people who are in debt and feel they have to hide from their creditors. And there are deliberate skips, people who
engage in fraud by people trying to scam the system.
