It's that time of year again when couples get together to celebrate Valentine's Day. But if you suspect your partner has been cheating in the days, weeks or even months leading up to February 14, an Australian private investigator has dished out the three tell-tale signs to watch out for. Cassie Crofts, who runs a licensed private investigation service called Venus Investigations, gets paid to work on cases of unfaithful partners, whether it's stakeout surveillance or a background check.

In her latest video, the PI, who splits her work between NSW and Queensland, explained that one of the biggest giveaways is when your man or woman makes plans the day before Valentine's. The private investigator said cheaters often spoil their secret lovers the day before, usually with a nice dinner and a gift. 'They're busy on February 13. Yes, I said 13th and not 14th,' Cassie said. 'Most cheaters are smart enough to know if they're unavailable at any point on actual Valentine's Day, you'll get suspicious.
'Whereas the day before, not so much.'. If you suspect your partner has been cheating in the days, weeks or even months leading up to February 14, private investigator Cassie Crofts has dished out the three signs to watch out for. The second clue is your partner not posting about you on their social media, despite having gushed about you on previous Valentine's Days. 'They don't post about you on socials on Valentine's Day when they have in the past,' Cassie said.
'Obviously if you're not the kind of couple that post about each other all lovey dovey, and never have before, that's fine. 'I'm talking about the people who have posted about you every year. This year there's a reason they can't and they might also persuade you from posting about them.'. Finally, the private investigator said your partner may be cheating on you if you notice their spending on their bank statements doesn't add up to what you were gifted on Valentine's Day.
'Their bank statements don't match your gift,' she said. 'For example, you got jewellery and flowers but there's a charge for a lingerie store.'. If your partner has been acting suspicious and your gut is telling you something isn't right, you may want to check the Notes app in their iPhone. Earlier this year, Cassie revealed the secret iPhone trick cheaters are obsessed with. If your partner has been acting suspiciously and something feels off, the PI said you might want to check the Notes app on their iPhone.
'A lot of people worry about secret messaging apps or calculators that hide secret photos but what a lot of people are using these days is much simpler and much harder to spot,' she said in a video. 'It's the humble Notes app. Yes, the same place you pop groceries lists and all those draft angry texts to your ex. 'If you've got an iPhone, you can create a shared note with someone else. You can put notes in there, talk to each other, delete them when they're done and you can even put a password on it so no one else can access it.'.
In the Notes app, you can invite people to collaborate in real time on a note in iCloud, and everyone who has access can see the latest changes. According to Apple, you can set permissions for the participants (such as allowing them to edit notes and add attachments), and all the participants can see everyone's changes in real time. The participants must be signed in to their Apple Account and have Notes turned on in iCloud settings.
