Planning an interstate move?
Beware of rogue movers who may take your goods hostage and overcharge you.
The bad players typically give you a low estimate over the phone or online without ever seeing the items you want moved. Once your belongings are on their truck, they demand more money. They then force you to pay more if you want your goods back.
Research movers before hiring anyone, and always get a written estimate.
The federal government and legitimate moving companies are working together to fight interstate moving fraud. Visit www.protectyourmove.org for a helpful checklist and to learn more.
