Moving scam companies are always on the lookout for new techniques to scam the public. Here’s one that didn’t quite work.

A householder prepared to move from CA to WA. He settled on a mover that gave him a low online quote. He was required to put down half the deposit. In the meantime, he researched them on the Internet, and decided to cancel the move. He called the manager, who said it would be no problem. He faxed a cancellation letter, and in the meantime booked his move with a reputable company.

Here’s his description of what happened to him on moving day.

“Come moving day, and a bummy unkempt man showed up at the man’s doorsteps. He starting cussing, smoking and throwing cigarette butts on the ground. And then he started with the moving scam routine, ‘it’s going to cost more because of this, and because of that.’ As soon as this resilient would be victim found out this was not the new moving company, he called S., the manager of the scam company. But now, S. denied ever having talked to the man or ever having received any faxes canceling the move.

Was S. simply forgetful? The ability of scam movers to forget promises is so legion, that it is doubtful he forgot. What is more likely is that he was looking forward to making money on the move. So when the man canceled, he figured maybe the man would regret, that he would rather just get the move over with, and S.’s truck could show up, get control of the goods and do his moving scam thing, i.e. raise the cost of the move to double the original moving cost estimate. and then hold the goods hostage until he got paid. Further evidence of the scammer’s intent is provided by the fact that the scam company did not give their name, when they called to fix the moving date. It’s a good thing for the homeowner’s possessions that he saw through he rouse. Had the scammers been successful in poaching the move, then in all likelihood his goods would have arrived at the destination in the same condition as the driver’s “bummy, unkept garb.”

But the would be victim of this scam was a resilient, not to be connived type guy, who had meanwhile contracted with a reputable mover to make the move. The move went off without a hitch, clean truck, no hidden cost surprises, no late delivery, no hostage load. The story has a happy ending, and leaves in our mind an indelible chiaroscuro tableaux. We see the bummy unkempt scam driver, throwing around cigarette butts, cursing and demanding more money, contrasted by the kempt honest decent mover, who came with his well equip truck, superior equipment and made the move without a hitch.
