Representatives of the carrier "World Moving Services" (http://www.worldmovingservices.com) assured us over the phone that they do these kind of small moves, and they charge according to weight, and obtained a $750 deposit from us by rushing us through the paperwork. It turned out that for all moves up to 3000 pounds they charge a fixed amount ($2250), and all their phone conversations were to defraud us of the initial deposit. They informed us about this a few hours before the move, so we were forced not to use their services, so as not to be defrauded of additional money and possibly our valuables. We thought of trying to obtain legal settlement, but decided not to do it just because of the hassle (of having to subpoena our mobile-phone company for conversation transcripts, if they had it recorded) for $750. Report of a scam below:

I was moving from Las Vegas NV to Budapest Hungary. We hired a company in NJ, Omega Shipping, to handle the door-to-door move. We received a quote for around $6500, signed the contract... and that's when the problems started. Once everything we owned was picked up locally, we got the invoice for $11,500 and a call saying, "You had much more stuff than we has estimated." Apparently, this is the ever-present Moving Scam I have been reading about online. Needless to say, we paid the full amount (via bank transfer), and now, 7 weeks later, we have nothing. To make matters worse, the local company here in Budapest, EuroMove, which was subcontracted by Omega Shipping, was blatantly trying to scam us too. They thought that since we were Americans that we didn't know the regulations. The local customs officials told us they were trying to scam us. We caught them, contacted Omega Shipping, asked for another company locally, and were basically told too bad. In fact, I received an email from the president of Omega Shipping, Boaz Aviani, telling me that the tone and "accusations" in my complaint were unacceptable and he would no longer deal with me. I freely admit that I told him in very specific language what a disgrace he is. Of course, they've got my $11,500 and now my stuff is en-route to Europe and I have no idea where it's coming in, who's going to pick it up, how I'm going to get it into Hungary, and who's going to move it in. This company scammed me unlike any other I've ever seen- worse off, the low-ball quote then hitting you with huge fees, essentially extorts you into paying the amount they request, no matter how illegitimate. When someone has possession of everything you own, it's hard to argue; then when you have had enough, and fight back, they just ignore you. I have no idea when I'm ever going to see my property. DO NOT EVER USE OMEGA SHIPPING FOR ANYTHING! I am in the midst of a catastrophe with my international move. I was moving from Las Vegas NV to Budapest Hungary.

Not a lot of room for scamming if you're standing right there. Take charge. No one can actually scam you without your consent.

Here's how their scam operation works: They gave me a quote of $120 for 2 hours minimum over the telephone with no inspection of what needs to be moved. (By the way, this was a small moving job...it only took about 60 minutes to complete the move because there were few items.) Anyway, once they loaded my belongings into their truck, they gave me a piece of paper with a date written on it to sign with nothing else. Once they arrived at the drop off address, before unloading the furniture, they handed me a bill for $211. When I indicated that I was quoted at $120 over the phone, they threatened to keep my belongings in their truck, drive away and sell them. I then had no choice but to pay the extra (ransom) $91 dollars under protest. Totally outrageous! I then called the company and spoke to the person who gave me the $120 quote over the phone. He told me there would be no refund of the extra scam charges, and when I persisted in asking questions, he started using foul language. Total scumbags.

HERE IS THE SCAM. Weight tickets. Where do they weigh the shipment? Who regulates weight tickets? The answer NO ONE. Most shipments are weighed at the truck stop on a certified scale, but you can weigh someone else's truck or hang a tire on the scale for your light weight. Heavy weight , is it before or after the driver filled his tanks with fuel and added 2 thousand pounds of weight to the shipment. You can pull a truck on the scale with the front axles of another truck on the scale with you and get whatever weight you want. The CAT scale weight ticket or any other weight ticket is a SCAM. Yes, the scale is certified, but it is only certified to whatever is on the scale. Some companies print up their own weight tickets. How can you pay based on a fake weight ticket?
