Hey Derek! If you people want to lie, at least get your stories straight! I didn't just disappear. The Victim Witness DA's office and I kept in touch through this whole time. Your sidekick, Michael Moore made it perfectly clear that he was recieving monies seperate from my intial check for $2000. He knew this was all I was getting right from the get go. He also knew that this was for my living expenses not to move the furniture I had put in storage in Redding.


America's Moving Network ripping off Families just like us across the country

When the movers never showed up as promised on October 6, I left with a friend in my car with few belongings to secure my new home in Indiana. That is what the $2000 was for.

A week later I get a call from two truckers, David and Julio, who told me they were on their way from Sacramento to Redding to pick up my furniture.


Some of our worldly possessions we will never see again.

I made arrangements with my son-in-law and daughter there in Redding to meet them at the storage unit. Several days later, I get a call from a Cindy at "Admiral" in Denver stating my things were on their way to Indiana and "how was I going to pay?"

I told her to call Michael Moore in Florida because he said he was getting the money from the DA's office in Shasta County and that this was some kind of tax write off that he knew about.

Hmmmmm....She said she would. I never heard another thing, until I called Michael Moore and told him what was going on, my belongings never showed up and there were important documentation in there I deperately needed.

He said he wouldn't have my things sent until he spoke to someone at the DA's office and to have someone there call him.

I spoke to Brenda in the "Claims Department" and told her I felt my things were being held hostage and Michael Moore needed to speak with someone in her office.

She called him. She called me back and told me Michael Moore feels put out by my mentioning the furniture was being held hostage.

She then told me my check for the $2000 was there in Indiana, to pick it up and off the top send $200 to Michael Moore, who assured her my furniture and belongings will be sent to me.

I did, immediately through certified mail and still nothing. One morning, I recieve a call from some nasty foul woman named Candy from Admiral telling me my belongings were staying in Denver until I came up with $2056.10.

I called my sister in Oregon and gave her the number of the Admiral people, told her what was going on and that I would be on my way to Oregon.

When I arrived, my sister, confused and as shocked as I was said this rude woman told her that my stuff was crated and now the price is up to $2786.10.

I called the Victim Witness to find out what was going on and told them what was happening. They set up a meeting between the women I was in contact with, Joyce Gardner, Supervisor, Stephanie Lloyd, Victim Advocate, Brenda, Karen and Jenny from the Claims Department.

When they called back I was told they felt I had been scammed, they would not send Michael Moore any money and to get a lawyer.

I was contacted by an FBI agent there in Denver, who was trying to get to the bottom of this mess and see if he could put a hold on my belongings being auctioned off by this Candy person, who was threatening to do so if she didn't get her "d**n money".

When I told him there were no signed contracts, that "I WAS BEING HUNG UP ON WHEN I ASKED FOR ONE", he told me it did look like a rip off...... he took phone numbers for these two places in Florida and Colorado.

In the meantime, my son-in-law in Tennessee was calling Michael Moore who kept handing the phone to you, Dereck and calling Candy, who upset him very badly.

She dropped the price to $2100 and told him she wanted "her money" and for us to come get the furniture off of "her floor" or she would sell my belongings in a matter of days.

Police have been contacted in Redding, CA, Denver, Co and Florida....lawyers in Washington DC with the Transporation have information from us.

I know you don't give a d**n, everyone wants their money....... Michael got the $200 fee he asked for, but lied to my son-in-law in Tennessee and said I never sent it......

why am I sitting here with a signed reciept for the certified mail? Signed by a Harold Grey, at America's Moving Net, who in the hell is that, now?

Michael Moore, when I asked you for a signed contract by me or an invoice, you asked me if this was a "game"..... I told you I wouldn't play games with thrirty four years of my life!!!!! Then you hung up on me!!

Who is playing games, now? Was your company even aware of this pack of lies you told me? What did you do with your $200? I never once expect for this move of my furniture to be free. "You do this all the time, you get your money from the DA for the move of my furniture, this is a big tax write off for them....... no one f---- you out of your money!"

So, what happened??....you "played games" with my family heritage! Candy in Denver wants her money, you knew I didn't have it.

You are responsible for this. You send Candy her d**n money! Give my son and I our life back. I have very important things.

How much are baby pictures, documents going 50 years back, my father's ashes......how much is that worth in an auction, Michael Moore and Candy???

I already know from inside sources that alot of my belongings are broken, smashed, lost and God knows what else.

This is going to the Highest Court in the world.....GOD'S COURT....... mess with me on this and you are messing with Him...... touch anymore of my family's life in any damaging way or sell it, He will deal with you, I don't have to do a thing.

You made a big mistake lieing to someone who was in need of help......... HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?????? Come out of hiding behind everyone else, Mr. Moore....... do the right thing!

Sitting here with nothing but memories of what we used to have

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Thursday, January 02, 2003

I want you to know I have just moved into my apartment. My son and I are sitting here with nothing but memories of what we used to have and it is an awful and helpless feeling. It took every penny I had to secure this place.





This is me at home when I was happy. I dream everynight I am there and wake up crying because I am not. When I can, I will send pictures of what I look like now, it is not a pretty picture.



I was contacted by the Attorney General"s Office in Florida, who heard about what happened to me along with several other families by this company. I was taken advantage of. I have a receipt for the deposit Michael Moore required signed by someone at America's Moving Network in hand. I was also told by the FBI in Denver not to send money to Admiral who first claims they sent me an invoice , which they didn't, then tells me to get a lawyer when I ask for an invoice or contract. Without an invoice or a contract, the FBI told me there is no way to prove they have my belongings.....I could be giving money for nothing.

I also want you to know that this has affected me so badly, that I went in for counseling and was sent to a psychiatrist for medications because I have been seriously traumatized and in very bad physical shape.



I wake up every morning crying my eyes out because my son has nothing but a few things given to him such as clothing and some board games from The Salvation Army. This is a far cry from what I had worked so hard for him to have. We sleep on the floor with blankets given to us. We didn't have Christmas. I am not telling you this for sympathy, I just want you to know this is how it is.



Along with the other families who have dealt with this Michael Moore person, I have spoken to authorities to make sure they are aware of what is going on and so this doesn't happen to other families.



As far as calling Michael Moore for a payment plan, from what I was threatened by Admiral in Denver (and how my belongings ended up in Denver, I don't know), they have auctioned off my life about a month ago and they did this with no contract, invoice or anything.



All my mail has been forwarded to me and there is absolutely nothing. I don't understand any of this and I hold Michael Moore solely responsible.



Sincerely

Rosalie

Interesting reading;.......however one is led to wonder if communication and resolution would move along a little faster between the two parties if contact were made directly rather than through this web medium.



This 'complaint' has now become an ongoing communication saga.

ALL YOU ASKED FROM ME WAS $200.00

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Thursday, December 12, 2002

All you required from me was $200.00 and you said the rest you would get from the DA's Office "separate" from my $2000.00 When my son-in-law in Tennessee talked to you and inquired about the money I sent you, you claimed you never recieved it. Well, why I am sitting here looking at a receipt from the "certified mail" I sent you on the 15th of October and a scribbled signature by someone at "America's Moving Network" named Harold Grey? Guy? on the 25th of October? Is that one of your aliases or what? Just one more lie out of your mouth!!!!!! You received it? Anything else you want to lie about????? We're listening!....you are very entertaining Mr. Moore!!!!!

MR. MOORE, YOU SHOWED YOUR IGNORANCE BY ATTACKING ME PERSONALLY!!!!

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, December 11, 2002
THIS IS MY SON-IN-LAW AND MY NEW GRANDAUGHTER IN REDDING, CALIFORNIA. HE WAS THE ONE WHO MET THE TWO TRUCKERS, JULIO AND DAVID AT MY STORAGE UNIT. HE READ THROUGH A PERMISSION FORM TO RELEASE MY BELONGINGS BEFORE HE SIGNED IT. HE SWEARS THAT RIGHT ON THIS FORM IT SAID "THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT" SO HE SIGNED IT NOT KNOWING THAT I WOULD PROBABLY NEVER SEE OUR POSSESIONS AGAIN......... THEY NEVER GAVE HIM A COPY OF WHAT HE SIGNED. HIS NAME IS NOAH JONES. HE FEELS REALLY BAD ABOUT ALL OF THIS. WE ARE ALL HAVING A VERY HARD TIME DEALING WITH THIS. THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN UPSTAIRS IN MY BEDROOM.




Mike, You just showed your ignorance by attacking me personally! By saying what you did about being drunk and on drugs, you are now committing SLANDER!!! There are laws about that. I know "who" and "what" you are! Your stupid comments about me don't bother me one bit! You just digust me! You contradict yourself and continue to lie. I don't need to defend myself on those stupid comments you made because you knew I was stressed out, tired and in physical pain from having to pack, carry boxes of my books and heavy furniture downstairs from my two story home and having to do it quickly and alone with my twelve year old son, with no help. You knew that and told me not to touch another thing, it was all taken care of! I never discussed with you why I was with the Victim Witness Program nor am I at liberty to do so. You must have me mixed up with some other woman you "helped". As far as my $2000 was for, you are a liar about that, too. I have an itemized list for rent, utilities, gas and lodging and the possiblity to rent a U Haul to drive back to Indiana. The U Haul we couldn't afford and that is where you came in. Remember Debbie Bronstup in Indiana??? Remember what you told her and me???? You want to get her in on this? You claimed what you got from the District Attorney's office was separate from my initial money. You promised!!! How can you charge me anything when there is NO SIGNED CONTRACT????? How do I even know where my things are or who has them when there isn't even an INVOICE??????????? No one sent me anything. You hang up on my son-in-law in Tennessee when he asked for one or hand the phone to Dereck and you did the same to me! Your side kick, Candy hangs up on us, too! Where is all the proof that my stuff is anywhere with you people? You continue to skirt around the issues here and now you not only lie, you get personal......I will make sure you never forget Rosalie and Trevor North until my belongings are returned safely to us or restitution is paid for selling my UNDERWEAR??????? My DEAD FATHER? My CHILDREN'S AND GRANDCHILDREN'S BABY PICTURES? My SON'S WHOLE LIFE IN HIS BEDROOM? MY MUSIC??? You are a sick man and you know where you are going, don't you? You may not care today, but you will for "ETERNITY"....... I feel very sorry for you.......So, call your friend, Candy and tell her the GIST is up!! I WANT MY BELONGINGS BACK!!! NO MORE GAMES!!!

A guy like this doesn't care about anything other than getting as much as he figures he can from you. I think your plea will have about as much effect on him as dropping a glass of water will in raising the ocean. But I sympathise with you if it is any consolation.

Avoid moving scams

AUTHOR: Arthur - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, December 10, 2002

I will make this short and to the point. When moving use reputable moving companies. The internet has many honest people offering their services, unffortunately there are those who will take advantage of others.



If using someone found on the internet check our references. The the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce. Also check with the state Attorny General. Always know with whome yopu are doing business,

RESTITUTION!!!!!

AUTHOR: - ()

POSTED: Monday, December 09, 2002

Hey, Michael Moore!!!!! Why is your so called "dispatcher", Dereck answering for you. You know what you told me, you know what you promised me and you literally handed my life long belongings over to Admiral Freight. You knew d**n well my situation. You knew about my money I was getting. You knew I was living on Social Security Disability with my twelve year old son.



You knew I didn't have money to pay for this move. You also know you told me and Debbie Bronstrup in Indiana that this money you could get was separate from what I got. "You do this all the time"!!!



Now, you so conveniently change your story and can't recollect what you promised us? You owe me, because I am holding you responsible for my furniture and personal belongings. If that nasty woman, Candy at Admiral, who refused to take payments, auctioned off my belongings for the $2100, you all will owe me $35,000 in restitution. That isn't mentioning the grief, anxiety and trauma you have put my son and I through.



On Christmas, while my son and I sit in a empty apartment with no beds, no blankets no clothes, no toys, no books, no television, no stereo, no kitchen supplies, nothing, nothing, nothing, I will make sure you are thinking about us. While you are celebrating with your family, you will think about what you did to my family.



I have already told this horrible situation to CBS NEWS and trust me, you won't be having a whole lot of business when this is over. In fact, my goal is to shut you down, you sick liar. You better get a hold of Admiral and make d**n sure she didn't sell my life. Both of your companies will be exposed to the media.........Enjoy your Christmas!!!!!
