Threat Letters | Anonymous Letters: Handwriting Analysis

Incidents in which citizens are threatened, slandered, or insulted by mostly anonymous letters regularly lead to police reports in Germany. Many victims feel their personal sense of security diminish and subsequently struggle to feel comfortable in their usual surroundings. No one should have to endure such intimidation permanently. It is time to gain certainty and instruct the private investigators of Kurtz Investigations Düsseldorf with your case: +49 211 9874 0021.

Neighbourhood Disputes as a Common Cause

Those who send threat letters almost always have a concrete motive. Disputes with neighbours are among the most frequent triggers. After all, people share a living space, and when conflicts arise, things can escalate quickly. Time and again, our Düsseldorf corporate and commercial investigators experience clients being terrorised by anonymous threats, insults, slander, and harassment in the form of product orders made in their name. The list of criminal offences fulfilled in such cases is long and can even include bodily harm caused by psychological pressure.

Experience shows that the authors of such letters are not foolish. They take precautions to avoid being identified. Unfortunately, in many instances, the police remain inactive, shifting responsibility onto the public prosecutor’s office, which in turn refers back to the police.

Anonymous Messages via Electronic Media (E-Mail, SMS)

Harassment through anonymous messages naturally no longer occurs solely by post or on paper, but equally via electronic means. With the help of its IT forensic specialists, Kurtz Detective Agency Düsseldorf follows the digital traces in search of the sender’s true identity. However, it should be said that numerous—often free—services exist that make it impossible for private investigators to identify the origin of an email unless the sender leaves a telling clue through carelessness or lack of knowledge, thereby revealing themselves.
