Primetime Movers LLC Extortion-Attempted Florida Hallandale Beach Florida

I hired PRIMETIME MOVERS LLC 1025 E Hallandale Beach Blvd HALLANDALE BEACH FL 33009 Phone: 800-891-8678 Fax: 954 416 6173 to move my bedroom, living room, and dining room furniture. Michael Wright 7542607232 Moving Coordinator PRIMETIME MOVERS LLC offered me a special of $365 for my move. I paid him a $100 deposit. He said they have trucks in my area and it would be no problem. The day of the move 3 Russian kids arrive. One big kid spoke fluent English. He made me resign "hard copies” of my contract and the authorization to charge my $100 deposit. He took pictures and a transfer Of my bank card and he questioned my out of state bank asking how I do my banking I Florida is my bank isn’t local. I paid him the remaining $265 cash. He stated they have to bubble wrap some things and the charges are in my contract. I grabbed everything left in the house that I could fit in my car as not to add up more fees. Once they loaded the truck and left (1.5 hours of work. I paid for 4) they called and said they were getting food and I’m not being charged for hat time. Then they called back wanting an additional $2900 to deliver my furniture (used thrift store furniture that didn’t even cost $1000). I questioned this. They stated bubble wrap fees and extra fees for stairs that were not disclosed before hand as well as their cost to travel to me even though my move was 3.4 miles. I realized this was a scam. Called my bank and canceled my card and called the sheriffs dept. The movers called back and I told them to keep the money and my furniture because I’m not paying $2900. Unfortunately the sheriffs said it is a civil matter. Meanwhile the movers were calling repeatedly and never left messages. I demanded to speak to Michael and was told he doesn’t work weekends. I talked to another manager and I told him I want Michael. One of the 3 movers called asking if I talked to the manager he wants offer me a $1000 discount! I said no. He asked if I was refusing to pay. I said I I wanted a detailed invoice of these charges that were not in my contract. I haven’t heard back from them. They have my $365 and my furniture. Thankful we moved our clothes, electronics, kitchen, and personal items ourselves... although Michael tried to talk me into letting them move EVERYTHING! Don’t lift a finger I don’t want you getting hurt. Phone numbers ‭+1 (786) 219-8869‬ ‭+1 (754) 226-6105‬ ‭+1 (786) 247-1563‬ ‭+1 (754) 260-7232‬
