can deleted text message be retrieved for evidence in a court case?
get text message records evidence
I had a man agree to sell me his bar business, in Georgia. While no papered contract was signed (he promised me one, yet never delivered it) he did agree through text messages, his preferred way of communication, to "finance" the bar to me, saying he wanted out of the bar business by the end of the year. We did have a verbal agreement that outlined all details of the sale, re: price, terms, etc. Some of these terms were listed in text messages from his phone to my phone.Some of these text messages have been deleted from my phone.
I did work there for 4 months, correcting a number of problems, like employee back taxes not being paid and improper pay to the employees, etc. I did address those issues with the seller and he paid the taxes, and I changed the pay system properly.
During this time, I was made aware of possible social security fraud and credit card fraud, being committed by one of the employees
I did report these allegations to the seller, and also I reported these allegations, including a signed statement from the customer, to the local police. I tried that day to to fire the employee, but the seller forbade me from doing so, even demanding that I allow her to work. When I informed seller that I had filed the police report, he became very irate with me for doing so and, through text messages I still have, demanded that I retract my report to the police.
Over the next two weeks, the seller accused me of wrongdoing, even addressing me as a "fool" and "idiot" in the presence of the other employees.
I then had a second customer call me to inquire about a 3 charge to his credit card that he says he did not make. I told the seller about this customer, and the seller demanded that I do not report this to the police. I also have the transactions from this customer. The seller then came to the bar and said that he was "firing" me, stating, for the first time, that I was hired only as his general manager. (I have this conversation on a taped recording). He also called the police and had me barred from returning to the bar, even as a customer.
As a results of his firing me, on the same day just minutes afterwards, I suffered a stroke and ended up in the hospital, due to the stress from this incident. So not only am I out of what was to be my future business, I am now basically unemployable with other companies. Two weeks later, after the termination, the seller mailed me a separation notice, stating I was an employee, and listing the reason for firing me was due to lack of work. He also included a check for “back pay”, 00.00 net total, that he claims was my “pay” for that time period. I never filled out any tax papers, G-4 or W-4, while working there, but did attempt to give the accounting firm all my tax info, which they never took from me. Normally, the seller would tell me that I could only get paid if there was enough money in the bank at the end of the month. I did receive a total of ,700, other than the back pay check in my time there.
I’m not sure if this falls under a “whistle blower” type case, or as an employment case, or as breach of crontract.since I was fired and listed as an employee on the seperation notice. I have tried to contact the EEOC, but their web site says they won’t look into cases where the company has less than 15 employees, and I can’t reach anyone over the phone to be advised as to who I should contact. I feel that I have been terminated for disclosing the frauds and would like advise as what to do. I am even willing to represent myself in a civil court case, to try and win some sort of compensation or my bar business back, as I can’t find a lawyer that wants the case. The verbal contract would be stronger if I can get back the teext messages, as I’m told two different things from the cell phone company concerning the deleted text messages: they can’t be retrieved once deleted, and, I can get them back but only with a subpeona.
Any advice/help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Who is he trying to kid? Drew Peterson, how dumb can he get?
phone records lookup
Now Droopy is saying that he found a racy text message in December that was dated Sept 20th (a month + 1 week before his wife disappeared) on her cell phone. He does not know who sent it but (in his and his lawyers mind) this "proves" Stacy dun run off with another man..fer shure fer shure.
How dumb does he think the public is?
A) If Stacey ran off, wouldn’t she have taken her cell phone with her? If she did not want to be found, why leave behind the clues?
B) What do you mean you don’t know who sent the message? Hmmm…looking at my cell phone text messages I see that it does indeed show the senders number. Simple, call the number and see who it is. Or Hey Droopy, maybe use your police instincts and do what you would do in any investigation HAND IT OVER TO THE POLICE, if you are not smart enough to trace the number, they can figure it out. Even supena cell records! What a concept, eh?? I am sure a visit to a Reverse Phone Lookup site would help out.

Brodsay said "the message may be the break Brodsky needs to clear his client’s name."
Or maybe this gives us the motive that Drew had for killing his wife, she was having an affair and this message:
"You my love are the hottest b —- in the world. Thanks for ridding [sic] me like a bucking bronco last night."
may have pissed him off. Ya think?
Also note, he waits nearly 2 months after his wife disappears to check her phone for clues?
uh huh…. good police work there, Sargeant.
What kinds of information are private investigators legally allowed to uncover about you?
I was a mistress and I’ve been tipped off that his wife has hired a PI. Want to know what all she’s legally able to find out about me. Also wanting to know that since they’re married and the bills are in her name if she has access to records of his text messages? Any Verizon users know if these are archived online? How much does a PI cost anyway? Am I allowed to get a restraining order on her if she’s harassing me by phone? I know I deserve every bad thing coming to me, but try to be objective with your answers please…
Website To Look Up Cell Phone Numbers?
Does anybody know of a FREE website to lookup cell phone numbers, or to enter a cell phone number and find the name it’s under? I always get calls and text messages from a number that I don’t know, and when I call it back there is no voicemail on it. Thanks!

What’s the best phone model for my use (see details)?
I need bluetooth, I do a lot of text messages and I want to be able to archive them on my computer, I want to be able to use Google Maps (or similar), GPS would be nice, I don’t need to listen to music on it, but I’d like to take quality pictures (preferably with a proper lens, an optical zoom, and a real xenon flash), and recording videos would be nice too.
Is there any way to retrieve old cell phone text messages if they are deleted.Is any record kept by phone co?
Would it be possible for someone to find and read old text messages that were not saved on the phone? Does the phone company see and keep those messages?
