Paper to Proof: Building evidence in contract & payment fraud with OSINT
How do investigators turn paperwork into proof?
Building on the reality that many cases don’t start clean, this session explores how contract and payment disputes can evolve into complex fraud investigations.
Join Altia’s Toby Langston and Dave Sampson, alongside guest Certified Fraud Examiner Chandra Cureton, as they unpack a real-world case involving a homeowner, insurer, and contractor following significant property damage.
What began as a disagreement over payments and completed work quickly escalated, with conflicting claims, inconsistent figures, and no clear audit trail making it difficult to determine what had actually happened.
This session examines how investigators move beyond manual analysis, using structured approaches and targeted OSINT to validate findings, connect information, and build defensible intelligence.
Through a detailed case walkthrough, you will see how fragmented documentation and communications can be transformed into clear, evidence-led outcomes.

Through a real case investigation, you will explore:
– From paperwork to investigation
How invoice analysis, contracts, and communications form the foundation of an enquiry.
– Uncovering inconsistencies
Identifying gaps, discrepancies, and signals that indicate something isn’t right.

How open-source intelligence supports and strengthens existing lines of enquiry.
– From information to evidence
How investigators structure and validate findings to build defensible cases.
