Rainbow Investigations is the registered trade name of Rainbow Investigative and Para-Legal Services Inc. Rainbow Investigations has been operating as a licensed, and bonded Private Investigation Agency in Alberta since May of 2000.
The President, sole Director and Chief Investigator of Rainbow Investigations is Mr. Ron Reinhold. Mr. Reinhold has been an investigator for 18 years. To read a bio of Mr. Reinhold - click here.
Rainbow Investigations started modestly in 2000, but has grown steadily in influence, and size. Since 2005, Rainbow Investigations has branded itself very uniquely as a top notch legal investigation firm. Today, almost everything Rainbow Investigations does somehow involves the law. Rainbow Investigations currently has both male and female investigators licensed.
The Business Office of Rainbow Investigations is in Calgary, just north of Stampede Park. We are now conveniently located close to the major courthouses for Southern Alberta, and much of Calgary ’s legal community.
The Company subcontracts legitimate strategic contacts all over North America as needed for investigative intelligence.
The Rainbow Investigations style of business is to be a competent investigative service to our clients, which include employment agencies, law firms, other investigative associates and of course, the public consumer needing investigative services. Our service areas are principally in litigation support, paralegal services, and domestic services. Many of our clients come from outside of the Calgary area.
Rainbow Investigations is an accreditated business member of the Southern Alberta Better Business Bureau, a member of the Alberta Association of Private Investigators, and a member of the Investigators of America. Our business rating within the Better Business Bureau system is "A+". Click here for contact information of these fine organizations.
As well, Rainbow Investigations has always had a huge interest in uncovering scams, and reducing consumer fraud. We believe when planned fraud and scams are exposed to the public in a strategic pro-active manner - this helps consumers make better choices.
As of 2010, the two consumer fraud areas still hitting Calgary residents the hardest appear to be real estate / mortgage fraud scams, and construction / home renovator scams.
Our web page was altered in 2006 to be somewhat similar to its current format with our popular feature “The Investigative News”.
Our news items have drawn compliments from media, consumer groups, and even reluctant enforcement agencies in the last eight years.
Our “Advocacy” page outlines in great detail our advocacy activities in the area of consumer and health fraud, and our “Scam Report” and “The Investigative News” pages provide you the latest info on many of the scams we remain interested in.
- Recent Cases Of Rainbow Investigations –
Real Estate Fraud and Blatant Mortgage Fraud
Rainbow Investigations is unquestionably Calgary’s most effective and most thorough service when it comes to real estate fraud on behalf of victims. We have now serviced over 30 clients in the past eighteen months in this area, and still have 15 active cases.
While these cases tend to be long term legal battles, our clients in this area speak to our effectiveness. Consistently we have brought our clients “peace of mind” once the truth of these scams is known, and the legal process has begun. Many of our clients here are completely stressed out when they come to us, and after we have control of the file, and put together what happened and started the legal process, our clients can go back to their lives.
We are a fraction of the cost of other alternatives for someone caught in mortgage fraud. Furthermore, we are probably the most effective service in Calgary, bar none, to investigate and find out what really happened in a mortgage fraud situation.

Infidelity
During 2009 Rainlbow Investigations has successfully completed a whole bunch of infidelity investigations. Many files come from employment settings, and / or parties in the Calgary area on business trips.
Hostile domestic disputes
Often we are asked to monitor the activities of the other parent during a custody dispute involving children. There have been times we have actually been asked to video a child a non-custodial parent has never met!
Consumer scams
Rainbow Investigations has been a leading force to consumer fraud. A few years ago we played a significant role in getting a fraudulent financial broker out of business and eventually in custody.
Most recently we worked on a horrific travel scam involving Calgary based travel agents, and fraud artists operating from Africa. We found what happened – an unfortunate case for our clients!
Maintenance Enforcement Files
Many of these files we are asked to ascertain the employment and perhaps locate a debtor. In one MEP case case we have re-united a father to a son he has never known and did negotiate to have $30,000 debt to be repaid. In another case we were successful in getting the debt paid pursuant to the sale of real property.
Locating People
We have located dozens upon dozens of parties for debt collections and other legal matters. Recently we have located missing shareholders with an Alberta corporation; an individual involved in selling a stolen vehicle; skip tracers from rental properties, among many others.
A few years ago now, we re-united a Vietnamese family with their son, who quit high school and for a period of time fell into substance abuse. The period of lost time for this family was 13 years.
Processing serving
One very busy law firm in northeast Calgary uses Rainbow Investigations exclusivly for their processing serving. We continue to do the "difficult to find" process services of documents throughout the Calgary and “Foothills Area” (High River, Okotoks, the Diamond Valley, etc.) on behalf of law firms outside the Calgary area, and all over Canada.
