Suspicious wives are increasingly hiring so-called "honey-trap girls" to purposely come on to their husbands to test their commitments to their marriages.
According to a report in the Melbourne Herald Sun, women are paying licensed investigators to flirt with their husbands to see how they will react.
"It's a very rewarding job. I love it," Amber confessed to the paper. She had just spent time with a client's husband in a bar. The man, married four years with two young children, gave Amber his telephone number before the evening was over.
"I never let them kiss me, and it's not entrapment because I never ask them for anything," she points out. Entrapment, where the woman initiates contact with the man, is illegal in the area Amber plies her trade.
The woman explained she "smiled in a flirtatious way" when the man first entered the bar.
According to the report, clients are paying thousands of dollars for such fidelity checks. In Europe, the Australian paper said, a company called The Honey Trap is advertising for attractive recruits.
Don Doolan, president of the Association of Investigators and Security Professionals, told the Herald Sun demand for such services is booming in Australia.
"These techniques have always been used, but in the past 10 years there has probably been a five-fold increase," he said.
The process involves getting the attention of the "target" and then waiting for him to make the first move. Doolan says that often happens in a matter of minutes.
"Most blokes think below their belly button," Doolan told the paper.
The manager of another service, Kirri Cleaver of Gotcha Enterprises, says 40 percent of the targeted men do not tell the female investigator they are in a committed relationship.
One investigator shared an even worse statistic.
"In our experience, subjects are innocent in only about 10 percent of cases," Dalla Riva is quoted as saying.
Said Cleaver:"Women don't want to waste their time, or be used or have their heart broken. You buy a house, you're going to have it checked for rising damp, but you get into a relationship and nobody asks any questions."
