I paid a private investigator to follow me for a month - he found out so much personal information about me and I never even noticed him once

A YouTube prankster paid a private investigator to follow him for a month and was shocked by what they found out.  

Influencer Max Fosh, 28, from London, who boasts over 3 million subscribers on YouTube, decided to run the experiment to see just how good investigators were at their jobs. 

The content creator, who previously hit the headlines for printing his CV on top of a car to get a job at the BBC, was astounded to learn the investigator found out where his lives, who his parents are and his WIFI and Instagram passwords. 

In a recently resurfaced video, which was shared to his YouTube channel in 2021 and gained more than 12 million views, Max revealed he had a friend hire the investigator for him, to keep as much distance as possible. 

The experiment concluded with Max finally getting to meet the man who had been following him for a month and he was surprised that he didn't recognise him at all. 

In the clip, Max revealed the first hurdle was actually hiring a PI because they can be tricky to find online. 

At the beginning of the video Max stated: 'The world of private investors is, by definition, quite private. So finding information about them is tricky.

'They are called in if someone wants to dig up some dirt on a rival, a cheating partner or mortal enemy. So what would happen, if I got a friend of mine to hire a private investigator, on my behalf...'

On day one of the experiment he revealed that he was starting to feel a bit paranoid as he went about his normal day to day activities. 

He said: 'So, today is the first day in which the private investigator is meant to be following me. I am already paranoid and anxious, and every single person I walk past, I'm constantly thinking: "Are they taking pictures of me? Are they following me?".'

When Max's friend Aziz met the investigator to talk through what to expect he revealed his job was to figure out Max's routine by following him from 'place to place' while filming and taking pictures of him.

The investigator, who remained anonymous, said the 'standard London rate is £60 an hour, with a minimum of five hours a day of surveillance.'

The investigator said it was easy to keep track of Max because he wore a bright blue cap on a few days 

After a month of watching Max play five aside football, go to choir practice, grabbing lunch and coffees and meeting his agent, the investigation was over.

The YouTuber met up with the investigator to find out exactly what he discovered.

Sitting across from the PI Max said: 'I have no idea who you are and I do not recognise you, which really, really scares me.'

The PI went onto reveals Max's home address, his parents names and even his wifi password, which he revealed would open up all sorts of information. 

The investigator did have some security suggestions for Max, such as putting his passwords into a password manager to protect them from hackers.

Max divided opinion after grabbing attention of BBC bosses by printing his CV on top of his car, in a bid to get his dream job as a Radio One presenter

Max said: 'Um, please, don't do this again. I guess I'm not gonna be paying you anymore. You won't be doing this.' 

In 2020 Max divided opinion after grabbing attention of BBC bosses by printing his CV on top of his car, in a bid to get his dream job as a Radio One presenter.

He parked outside the BBC building with his car emblazoned with both his CV, and a QR code linking to a video pitch.

The video saw Max and his actor flatmate Dan in a hired studio pitching a segment for the show called 'Tasklife', where Max interviews people while completing mundane tasks such as counting change.

At the end, he says that he won't be offended if the BBC doesn't pick up the idea, but adds: 'All I'm after Radio 1, is to present some of your online content. Send me to Big Weekend, send me to Glastonbury, send me out on the street, and I promise you some good content.'

After sharing the stunt on Twitter, many praised his 'initiative', but some users slammed the former Harrow student for the stunt for using his 'privilege' to try and get his dream job quickly.
