your opinion needed

so i have been unlucky thus far in my search on contacting my person of interest who i beleive is living in ukraine right now. So, i have been doing some reading, and came across Ukraine private detective agencies. It appears to me that they are very expensive, but has anyone gone to this measure to find someone. Do you suppose these are scams or do you think they are a worthy option to locate people? Suggestions on what to do?

IMHO Detective Agencies in Ukr are frequently rip off's. They charge you about 500EU,
before they even do any work. I wouldn't use them.

Refresh my memory.

What name are you researching and where?

I know someone in Ivano-Frankivsk, who has policemen in his family,
and is very good at locating people and places. His day job is teaching
at the university, and on the side he specializes in uniting Ukrainians in
the Diaspora with their families in Ukraine. He comes w/exc references and
charges very fair prices. His name is Ihor.

Please send him my regards. igor@micro.il.if.ua

I don’t quite understand why you need a detective agency to contact this person. Are they hiding from you?

no they are not hiding from me...i just have been unable to come in contact or correctly search for my person. I have decided to not use such agencies, as they are highly expensive and not very trustworthy.
