Type of a scam Moving

J Hale & Sons – A One John L. Hale, sons William R. Hale and Joseph P. Hale are active participants in an elaborate Interstate Wire Fraud scheme by way of Empire Moving Group LLC owned and operated under the J Hale LLC umbrella – both filed under the same address. Empire Moving Group LLC is running a confidence scheme where movers across the nation are targeted and given too good to be true prices for their move solely to collect a deposit, with no intention of ever moving the customer. Customers are told they need their bank information and to send them thousands of dollars as a deposit. On the day of the move, they do not bother showing up, as they repeatedly state they will. In their place on the day of the move they send an unsolicited 3rd party, not affiliated with Empire who want to begin an entirely different estimate that actually runs more than twice what Empire states. When you inquire as to where Empire is and why are they not here to move, the 3rd party claims ignorance of Empire, that they are not affiliated but here to move you at a price that is about $10,000 more than the original estimate given by Empire. Calls to Empire are not responded to and ignored with a sadistic "We Got You" sinister Laugher followed by a hang up. Emails are not returned. Phone calls not responded to. Upon further investigation multiple consumers have been robbed in this manner and whose testimony are on Google Reviews to avoid Empire Moving Group as scam artists. Inspection of their DOT credentials demonstrates that they falsely stated themselves to be movers "Just Like Mayflower" "In fact I worked for them before coming here" – they have no such licence. The person listed as the contact on the DOT registration is in Massachusetts and claims total ignorance as to why he is listed as the Empire Moving Group contact. That he has no relationship with them. Very quickly after Empire does not bother showing up, does not bother returning calls our emails, the reviews of other consumers being taken, and DOT stating they are not authorized to move, and their listed DOT contact person is not affiliated with Empire Moving Group it becomes very clear this is a scam. Upon further inspection it becomes clear that their listed address is nothing more than a call center and that Empire Moving Group LLC is owned and operated by a one John L. Hale, William H. Hale, Joseph P. Hale operating under the J Hale Holdings LLC at the same listed address with the Secretary of State. These listed individuals are running a Interstate Wiring Fraud to steal from consumers, not intending to ever deliver any moving service as they repeatedly state they will.

  1. Empire Movers is a bait and switch Company.
    When the third party mover came out they loaded our furniture and the told us that it wasn’t going to be $15,000 but $24,000.
    Empire collected their $3900.00 off of the deposit. NEVER DISCLOSED. Scammers at their worst. I believe we should do a class action lawsuit.
