Moving Scams, Cons and Thefts at Record Levels
BEWARE: Moving company scams, thefts and frauds are bold, brazen and at a record levels. Bottom feeder scum bags, with 2 assets…a back and a truck, are preying on thousands of unfortunate people being forced to move.
Watch Out. The “moving” con artist generally targets the most vulnerable among us. Their primary victim is the internet price shopper, who enters personal information on ‘moving quote’ type website, promising to provide the lowest, legitimate price or quote for a move. 
Devastating like Fire. Victims report horror stories that range from being extorted out of thousands of dollars to get their belongings off loaded, to even more disturbing reports that some families lost every possession, family photo, etc. that they owned, when the moving truck never showed up at the destination, ever.
What possibly disturbs me the most, is that like the con artist who sells “cures” to the dying, stealing what little they have left, the majority of moving scam victims are in the same boat. They are being forced to move due necessity, job loss, foreclosure, overall affordability, health problems, old age, wage cuts, etc.
ACTION: If you have been a victim of a moving scam or moving quote website, report this crime to MOVING SCAM.COM IMMEDIATELY!! The website has a single complaint form that they file with various legal and reporting agencies. In addition, victims can print copies of the compliant form to provide to local police and state authorities.

Common moving scams include quoting low prices initially, then raising the purchase price on delivery or never delivering items whatsoever. In line with the Council of Better Business Bureaus, the quantity of complaints against moving companies has tripled within the last decade. In 1997, there was under 3,000 complaints nationwide weighed against over 9,400 complaints in 2004. The quantity of complaints against rogue moving companies carries on growing.
It is highly recommended that consumers must allow time for research before their move while offering several sources. The greater Business Bureau at BBB.org is a superb starting place to learn if any complaints are already lodged against the moving company. I personally also recommends the Federal Highway Administration to verify the sort of authority the business maintains. The administration can tell consumers in the event the company is asset based or perhaps a broker. Brokers are middlemen who book moves for a number of trucking companies.
