Does anyone else remember FreelanceSecurity.com? It used to be a good resource for finding private investigators and outsourcing detective/security work. I always found it interesting to browse the outstanding jobs posted on there.

FreelanceSecurity.com was online from around 2003 but went offline several years ago and has not come back since.

I was wondering if there is a newer alternative to it or anything else like it that people are using nowadays?

Yes, I remember. Private Investigator Forums can be used in much a similar way; simply create a thread requesting whatever service you require and other users will be able to send you a private message. Of course, P.I.F. accepts no liability or responsibility for agreements which you make with third parties, and you should always perform suitable due diligence before deciding to proceed with a transaction.

So what are the limitations of that? Can I make a thread just advertising my P.I. business with my contact details and website address? Would that be OK?

We have a private messaging system here on P.I.F. Anyone can signup for an account and then send a private message; or, users can also view each other's profiles and the contact details specified therein.

If you would like to create a thread in order to advertise your own business, or post links to your own website, etcetera, then you will need to become a sponsored member in order to do this. Please feel free to send me a private message for more information.
