Corey Is A Moving Scammer!
July 20, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving scams
A little while ago I did an article on Craigslist Moving Scammers. This guy Corey was named. He keeps posting on Craigslist stating that he has the cheapest prices. And while that may be true you get what you pay for when it comes to moving.
Of course when I reported on Corey being a moving scammer he screamed blue murder. Yet it seems that my assessment has come true.
(You can click here to see my report on Corey.)
It seems yesterday (July 20, 2010) there was a report on Craigslist from a a very dissatisfied customer. Apparently, this guy scheduled Corey to do a move and Corey just never showed up, leaving the guy hanging and in trouble…
You can see the exact post below:
enclosed trailer mover is a no call no show! DO NOT USE (flint)
I spoke with corey who has the 14×7 enclosed trailer on here that advertises moving services. he was supposed to come and move my stuff the next day because i needed to be out by the following day. HE WAS A NO CALL NO SHOW. I TRIED CALLING HIM AND LEFT MESSAGES AND HE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL.
DO NOT CALL OR USE HIM. HE WILL MOST LIKELY LEAVE YOU HANGING LIKE HE DID WITH ME.
THANKFULLY ANOTHER SERVICE I FOUND ON HERE…ROCS DELIVERY, CAME THAT VERY NIGHT AT 8PM TO MOVE MY STUFF AND WAS VERY WELL PRICED.
IF YOU ARE MOVING, I WOULD DEF NOT RECOMMEND THE PERSON WITH THE ENCLOSED TRAILER…FOR YOUR REFERENCE HIS POSTING IS http://flint.craigslist.org/lbs/1850751500.html
click here for the actual ad on Craigslist…assuming it hasn’t been flagged.
First off, a 14 x 7 trailer is NOT a moving vehicle. You cannot load a lot of furniture and household possessions on one of those. And to move with a trailer such as this requires multiple trips. Corey knows this. This is why he charges so low in the first place.
He knows that he can charge low because the move will take longer than it would with a professional mover, but the cost will still be about the same. He also can charge low because he is NOT licensed and insured.
How do I know this, because Corey told this to me personally over the phone. He called me after I wrote about him on this website of him being a moving scammer. Do you know what he said to me? He said “So what if I have to make multiple trips. I make just as much or more by doing it this way as you.”
If that is not an admission of a moving scammer I don’t know what is.
So heed my words, but if you don’t, then at least listen to the guy above that was left hanging by this loser and stay away from Corey.

When Bill needed movers he didn’t rely on just any ol’ movers, he wanted the best Williamston movers…he called U-Save Moving and Storage.
So Bill contacted us about a month ago looking for movers. At first he just wanted advice and moving estimate. But when looked at all the information on this website and after speaking with me, he made the wisest decision he could’ve made when it came to moving. He hired us.
Bill had a larger move so he wanted an extra guy. So instead of the usual 2 man crew we sent a three man crew. Because of that we were able to service even better.

Movers Charged In Statewide Rogue Movers Sting
April 11, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving News
It seems that the illegal movers (rogue movers) are getting their just deserts in Florida.
A lot of new reports are coming out of Florida about their statewide sting of rogue movers. And if you notice many of these seem like they are good and upstanding movers, but if you notice these people are just out and out criminals.
Now you need to understand, many of these companies were targeted by the police because they had numerous complaints about their illegal services.
So yes, there are many companies out there that are not licensed and insured but get few complaints and these companies are left alone. So do you your research. If you use a rogue mover make sure you check them out and view their complaint history with the BBB or with the state you are in.
Here is the article:
Moving company owner charged in statewide sweep
April 03, 2010 5:18 AM
Jeff Barker
Daily NewsTALLAHASSEE – The owner of Good Moves Moving Company was among those charged in a statewide sweep targeting unregistered movers.
Randy Stokes, 54, the owner of the Fort Walton Beach-based business, has been charged with operating an unregistered moving company, according to a Florida Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services press release. Stokes had previously been issued a written notice from the Division of Consumer Services telling him his company needed to be registered.
Nine other moving company owners across the state were also charged in the sweep, which ended Thursday night. The businesses were identified by consumer and industry complaints.
The department set up operations where officers portrayed citizens who needed to move, according to the release. After deals were completed, the owners were charged.
Florida law requires moving companies to register with the department before they conduct business. Owners must show proof of liability insurance.
Failure to register is a misdemeanor violation, with a maximum penalty of one year in prison and up to a $1,000 fine.
A list of the other owners charged in the sweep
Denzel Lockley, 27, the owner of Red Truck Moving in Tallahassee.
Modestus Germain Fevrier, 33, the owner of Express Moving Solutions out of Jacksonville.
Azad Basar Sahbudak, 31, owner of Atlantis Moving & Storage in Jacksonville Beach. The department is pursuing other legal action against this moving company because they were notified on two previous occasions that they needed to register with the Department. They were also previously fined $1000.00 and $5000.00, which they have failed to pay.
Derrick Maurice Wilhite, 41, who worked with Sahbudak was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office on a local warrant charging him with felony criminal mischief. He was taken to the Duval County Pre-Trial Detention Facility in lieu of a total bond of $5,003.00.
Jordan Seth Speisman, 28, owner of UF Mover Guys in Gainesville.
Fredrick Williams Pohl, 33, owner of GatorSaver Movers also in Gainesville.
Geary S Adams, 55, co owner of Furniture World Moving Service in Okeechobee.
David Dawson, 33, owner of Urban Movers in Sarasota.
Kevin B. Pierre, 38, owner of Pierre Byers Moving in Pembroke Pines.

Overall the move went really well, except for the crazy weather we had. It was sun shining, raining and even snowing. And this is a complete turn around from last week when we had 80 degree weather.
After the move you can see from this very dark video that Dennis was very happy with our moving services.

Bekins Van Lines: Bekins Moving Company Review
February 21, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving Company Reviews
Company: Bekins Van Lines
Grade: F
City: Nationwide
More often than not the perpetrators of moving scams are licensed and insured moving companies, and the majority of those come from the national vanliners. It is unfortunate but true.
I did an informal study a while back where I investigated the complaints of moving scams that were on the internet. I took these reports and looked into the moving companies that were said to have committed these scams, what I found shocked me! I found that almost 80% of the moving scam complaints were not committed by unlicensed and uninsured moving companies but licensed and insured ones…scary huh? Of those, I found that 75% were committed by nationwide vanliners…And Bekins Van Lines was at the top of the list.
Bekins Van Lines or Bekins Moving Company is a national van liners with offices (or hubs) in every state. What these specialize in is moving people across the country. They have set up their operations similar to a franchise. A local moving company becomes and authorized agent for Bekins and they sell Bekins moving services in their state and/or region. Bekins can factually go all over the world to move you. This not a bad business model.
However, Bekins is the worst company out there and should be avoided.
IN going online and googling Bekins I found that not one of the consumer rating websites rate Bekins very high. While Bekins do have their fans and fair share of positive ratings they have far more negative ratings.
J.D. Powers and Associates, a leading consumer rating agency, rated Bekins as one of the worst companies several years in a row.
Many of Bekin’s authorized moving company agents have horrible ratings themselves, including bad BBB reports. The authorized agent for my state of Michigan that operates out of Fraser is a prime example. I personally know that they are being sued by one company for name infringement and yet sued another company for the very same thing. Talk about “talking out of both sides of your mouth.” And I personally know that they spend THOUSANDS to make sure that they have a good BBB report. Yet the BBB freely admits that they have the highest amount of complaints of any moving company in Michigan and far above the normal for a company of their volume…so what does that say?
So in my opinion I would never use Bekins Moving Company…instead I would maybe Mayflower or Movex.

Should You Use Tetris Moving Systems: Moving Company Review
February 15, 2010 by admin
Filed under Moving Company Reviews
This is the question isn’t it: Should you use Tetris Moving Systems?
Well I just did a review of this company. Please check it out:
Company: Tetris Moving Services
City: Ann Arbor
Tetris Moving Services have just sprung up recently; I would say in the last six months or so. But I have been impressed with their professionalism thus far, but (and there is always a “but”) should you use Tetris Moving Systems?
As I said, they just sprang up out of nowhere about six months ago…really just a baby in the moving business. Their moving ads on Craigslist have been okay, but nothing to write home about, as the saying goes. There ads are typical of most ads on Craigslist. Does this make them less professional…No, not really.
In their ads they have claimed that they have sixteen years of experience, this may be true of the owner but not of this business. I did see a Craigslist posting a few months back from what appeared to be a disgruntled ex-employee claiming that their 16 years of experience was a hoax. Is this true? I don’t know, and Tetris did refute that claim. As the posting came from what appears to be a pissed off ex-employee I am going to side with Tetris on this one. Angry people never tell the truth!
