Investigation agency in Limburg: international digital investigation and OSINT

In brief: looking for an investigation agency in Limburg for a scam, a person, a debtor, a claim, or online evidence? NCRB has worked from Limburg since 2019 for clients in more than twenty countries, holds a Wpbr licence from the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security, and specializes in digital investigation. Not a classic surveillance agency, but documented research built to hold up with the police, banks, insurers, and courts, in the Netherlands and internationally.

What clients in Limburg engage NCRB for

• Law firms and bailiffs in Maastricht, Venlo, Heerlen, Sittard, Roermond, and Weert: fact-finding, recovery research on a debtor, digital evidence preservation, and crypto tracing for proceedings or attachment.
• Insurers and underwriting agents: circumstances and social media research in personal injury and disability claims, within the Dutch code of conduct for personal investigations.
• Entrepreneurs and SMEs: background checks on a new business partner, supplier, or director, including abroad; investigation of invoice fraud, CEO fraud, and internal fraud.
• Private clients: victims of online scams, crypto fraud, WhatsApp fraud, fake webshops, and catfishing; verification of an online contact; locating heirs or a person with a legitimate interest.

Service area: Limburg, the Netherlands, and international

Because almost all of our research is digital, distance rarely matters. We work for clients in southern Limburg (Maastricht, Heerlen, Sittard-Geleen, Kerkrade), central Limburg (Roermond, Weert, Echt-Susteren), and northern Limburg (Venlo, Venray, Peel en Maas), across the border in Belgian Limburg and the German border region, and in the rest of the Netherlands. The same investigators handle files for the United Kingdom, the United States, and other European countries; many cases from Limburg clients have a foreign element themselves, such as a scammer, a debtor, or property across the border.

An intake is held by phone or video call. A meeting on location in Limburg is possible by arrangement.

Why a digital investigation agency rather than a classic surveillance agency?

Most questions that reach an investigation agency today concern something that happened online: money that disappeared through a fake platform, a profile that does not add up, a debtor who seems untraceable, a claim that contradicts what someone shows on social media. Digital investigation delivers faster and better documented results there than physical surveillance, at lower cost and with less intrusion on privacy.

NCRB specializes in OSINT (research in public and lawfully accessible sources), blockchain analysis, and evidence preservation. If your case does require physical surveillance, we say so honestly and refer you to a partner agency.

How an engagement works

You put your question to us confidentially. We assess whether an investigation is lawful and worthwhile, and you receive a defined scope, timeline, and a fixed price or cost ceiling before any work begins. The first conversation and a short feasibility check are free. During the investigation the lead investigator is your point of contact. Significant findings are flagged immediately, not held for the final report. We do not promise outcomes; we deliver facts.

Frequently asked questions

Is NCRB a licensed investigation agency?

Yes. NCRB holds Wpbr licence POB 1737, issued by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security. Without such a licence an agency may not perform investigative work in the Netherlands. You can verify the number with Justis.

Does NCRB conduct surveillance or home visits in Limburg?

Our specialization is digital investigation: OSINT, blockchain analysis, evidence preservation, and background checks. We do not carry out physical surveillance ourselves. If your case requires it, we say so at the intake and refer you to a partner agency.

Can private clients from Limburg engage NCRB?

Yes, where there is a legitimate interest. Think of scams, crypto fraud, a suspicious online contact, an inheritance matter, or a debtor who does not pay. At the intake you hear honestly whether an investigation is proportionate to your interest.

What does an investigation cost?

It depends on the question, the number of sources and countries, urgency, and the reporting required. There is no fixed price list. The first conversation and a short feasibility check are free; after the intake you receive a scope and fixed price or cost ceiling and never pay for "guaranteed" outcomes.

Do you also work outside Limburg and outside the Netherlands?

Yes. NCRB is an internationally operating agency: because the research is digital, we work for clients across the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries. Limburg is where we are based, not where we stop.

How quickly can NCRB start?

For volatile evidence (a profile, an advertisement, a chat that may disappear) often the same day after a short intake. Regular investigations start after approval of the scope, usually within a few working days.
