Dean Brewer International Services Ltd
Founded by a scam victim. Built for people who need answers.
We help individuals and businesses investigate scams, verify identities and uncover publicly available information.
Our Story
In 2023, our founder Dean Brewer became a victim of a romance scam. An 18-month online relationship resulted in a loss of £14,000. He reported it. He had evidence. However, there was no clear path to answers. That experience led Dean to train in Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), the process of finding truth from public data. From that, Dean Brewer International Services Ltd was born.
