Advanced Moving System Screwed without a kiss by rip-off artist(s), deceived and questionable behavior Sunrise Florida

Thanks for the words of support.

Don't forget to write your Representatives in Congress and ask them to support Rep. Tom Petri's newly introduced legislation to help consumers fight back against scam movers.

Kay,

I , and others who have been ripped off by Advanced Moving, thank you for keeping us apprised of the government's long anticipated legal action on the nefarious moving comp[any. I, for one, applaud your perserverence in providing advice on new victims on how to inform the right folks on their rip offs. I, for one, would be more than willing to testify against Advanced Moving. And yes, I too was interviewed by the FBI and provided extensive documentation for their case files. Let's do what we have to do to bring justice and compensation for all of us who have experienced losses in our relationship wit Advanced Moving.

Sincerely,

Owners and employees of Advanced Moving Systems are among those arrested by the FBI yesterday. You can read about it here:

be sure your complaint is on file with the FBI and the FMCSA. victims may get restitution when assets of the companies are
liquidated.

Just an update on my situation. I ended up paying the whole $4055.00. On Feb. 7, 2003 I finaly received my belongings after almost a month of waiting and frustation from calling this company. Most of the boxes were in poor condition. Most of them were wet and crushed. I have no idea where they stored it to be in that condition. All of my furnitures were either scratched or broken. They also made damages on my apartment trying to bring in my couch and lovesit.

They also did not re-assemble my bed and dining table eventhough it was part of the contract. I was given an excused that they have not done that. I ended up calling the office and was promised that it will be done. So much for their word. It doesn't mean a thing. The driver was rude to me. He insisted that I sign the contract stating that I have received everything and were all in good condition. I refused to do so. He left without me signing it.

I took pictures of all my belongings before I unpacked them. I contacted a local news station who recently did a report investigation on a moving company. Hopefully I get a response on steps I need to do. I also contacted a lawyer about and was told that there were some new laws passed for moving companies. I will update my case in the future. I will be interested to join or start a class action against Advanced Moving System.

first of all I would like to say that its ashame what happend. BUT and i wright but in capital letters, if you search for the cheapest price out there, there is no such thing.

When searching for a company to move you dont look for cheap look for a company that is giving you a price that is realistic. what I am trying to say is its your own fault for getting screwed by moving companies online. people search for the best price yet they never think that the price they are given is outragously to low. Next time move by yourself.
