About Us
We Are Consumer Diligence
Consumer Diligence: We are a watchdog group that investigates businesses & NGOs of every kind & ideology. We publish every Due Diligence report so that you can know the truth before you spend or give.
We Are Consumer Diligence and we are hunting fraud in companies, NGOs, and executives. We are non-partisan, pro-transparency, and all-inclusive…in who we target for investigative research. So if you are a dishonest broker, a grifter, a champion of the fair deal, or a salesman of fraud you need to ask yourself: “are we ready for what comes next?”
…we shall see…
Now let’s get started.
Our Mission
They strike when you’re at your weakest—after the diagnosis, the hurricane, the layoff, or the quiet moment you dare to dream of retirement. They arrive with smiles and contracts, miracle cures and guaranteed returns. They speak in urgency and promise, and by the time you realize the deal is poison, the money’s gone, the company has vanished, and the damage is irreversible. These predators aren’t hiding in shadows; they’re sitting across the table, advertising in your feed, and calling from area codes you trust.
A couple on the cusp of retirement hands their IRA to a precious-metals firm promising guaranteed returns. Within months, their savings—and the company—vanish into thin air, leaving foreclosure and bankruptcy in their wake.
A middle-aged journalist diagnosed with an incurable illness finds a flicker of hope when an online pharmacy claims to have a miracle cure, complete with its own “doctor’s” prescription. The doctor is fictional. The drug is worthless. Her hope—and her will to live—dies just as quickly.
After a hurricane knocks out the power grid in a tri-county region of central North Carolina, a Canadian solar company offers the community a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rebuild and prosper. The deal drains the town’s last funds. No electricity ever arrives. The land is soon swallowed up by investors tied to the same company, preying on desperate residents forced to sell for a few more months of motel rent off I-95.
These are hypothetical stories. But they mirror reality—happening every day, in every industry, to every kind of person. Opportunists, hucksters, miracle-drug pushers, land speculators, con artists—they circle like sharks, striking when there’s blood in the water. They never take prisoners.
Not on our watch.
We are Consumer Diligence.
We’re a collective of journalists, researchers, small-business owners, doctors, nurses, grad students, and parents—people who’ve been victims or targets of fraud. We’ve hit our breaking point. Together, we’re forcing transparency on every business, charity, executive, and board member we can reach.
We don’t shut companies down—that’s the consumer’s decision. We arm consumers with full, independent due diligence reports so they can avoid bad actors or take evidence straight to their attorneys. We investigate every industry, validating—or debunking—claims about access, opportunities, and offerings.
We don’t care about political affiliation. Fraud doesn’t check voter registration. We’re as relentless with blue-aligned companies as with red, purple, or apolitical ones.
Our process is simple: leave no stone unturned, run down every lead, and present every fact—positive or negative—free from bias. If it doesn’t fit in the report, it goes in the end notes.
We are the consumer’s central intelligence. Their transparency arsenal. Their reconnaissance force. We expose the corrupt, correct the careless, and celebrate the heroically honest.
We are feared by fraudsters and trusted by the public.
We are Consumer Diligence.
And we are here for you—with no strings attached.
