Moving Fraud - Hostage Moving Loads

Some scammers create “hostage load” situations, in which the moving company provides a low estimate to move but then substantially increases the price once items are loaded on the mover's truck. If the customer doesn't pay the increased price, the mover holds the belongings hostage and, in many instances, drives away with the truck full of belongings. Check out this tip sheet for information and tips on how to prevent this scam.
