Signal Theft Investigator

Telematics-Online provides contract services to various promoters of Pay-Per-View events who own broadcast rights for events put on by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), HBO, ShowTime and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Promoters of specific sporting events own certain telecast rights to air the events on a premium channel or Pay-Per-View. Many bars, restaurants, and casinos pay the promoter a fee for rights to display the commercial broadcast of the sporting event in hopes that it will attract more customers. However, many establishments fail to pay the applicable licensing fee.

As a Signal Theft Investigator your job is to identify establishments which violate federal criminal and civil laws by publicly displaying copyrighted events without the proper authorization. These unauthorized establishments are called pirates.

Job Description
A Signal Theft Investigator visits as many establishments as possible in their area during the broadcast of a Pay-Per-View event and in essence perform a secret audit of the establishment posing as a customer. If the establishment is not showing the event you move on to the next establishment. If the establishment is showing the event you record specific details pertaining to the venue showing the event. As a Signal Theft Investigator you have the potential to earn in excess of $1000.00 per event. There are approximately 2-5 events per month.

How much do I get paid?
You are paid only for the establishments which you catch showing a pirate event. Investigators earn $125 per establishment.

Signal theft investigators have the potential of earning over $1000.00 per event. The promoters of these events lose millions of dollars in lost licensing revenues. They pay a very competitive bounty fee for the discovery of each location (you are paid regardless of fines, prosecution and settlements etc…). The promoters see this as a small price to pay for future compliance and the safeguarding of licensing revenue. On average each establishment settles outside of court for between $3K - $10K.
