Type of a scam Moving
AS IM LOOKING TO MOVE AND NEEDED TO FIND A MOVING COMPANY ONLINE I FOUND CHEAP MOVES NYC. THIS COMPANY HAS A NUMBER ON THE WEBSITE AS 347-644-9045 AND AN EMAIL AS [email protected] I SPOKE TO A MAN HE STATED THAT HE COULD OFFER A REALLY GOOD PRICE AND PROVIDE STORAGE FOR ALL MY BELONGINGS FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. HE STATED THAT HE CAN SEND OVER AN INVOICE WITH HOW MUCH THE MOVE WAS GOING TO BE. HE ASKED ME IF I WOULD BE OKAY WITH HAVING A MOVING COMPANY WORKER COME TO MY HOME AND TAKE PHOTOS OF ALL MY FURNITURE SO THAT A BETTER ASSESSMENT CAN BE MADE REGARDING PRICING. A FEW DAYS LATER I SCHEDULED A HOME APPOINTMENT FOR THE FURNITURE/BOXING ASSESSMENT. THE MOVING COMPANY WORKER YOUNG GENTLEMAN WITH A WHOOL TRENCH AND A HOODIE CAME TO MY HOME. HE TOOK PHOTOS OF MY FURNITURE AND BELONGINGS AND ASKED THAT AN INITIAL DEPOSIT BE MADE OF $252.00 DOLLARS AND THE TAXES WOULD BE WAIVED IF THE $252 WAS PAID IN CASH. I AGREED TO PAY IN CASH, I HANDED OVER $255.00 CASH TO WAIVE THE TAX CHARGES THE MOVING COMPANY WORKER AT MY HOME ASSURED ME THAT THE MOVERS WOULD COME TO MY HOME AND HELP WRAP ALL MY FRAMES AND MIRRORS. ON THE DAY MY MOVE WAS SCHEDULED THE MOVERS NEVER CAME AND I WAS AT A 255.00 LOSS. ALL MY PHONE CALLS WENT DIRECTLY TO VOICEMAIL AND ALL EMAILS WENT UNANSWERED. THIS WAS A MOVING COMPANY SCAM. BEWARE!!!
