EVERYONE --- THIS "COMPANY" NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!!! DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY BUSINESS WHATSOEVER!!!!!!
Moving Pro Logistics is a fraudulent company, based according to the address they list on their website, https://movingprologistics.com/ , in someone's residential apartment in Fort Lauderdale! I filed a police report for their culpability in the events I will soon relay here, on August 1st and August 3, both in my California hometown (where they were supposed to coordinate a moving pickup), and with the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, where they are based.
I booked with Moving "Pro" through a man named Ryan Franklin ("Senior Moving Coordinator" 786 539-5754), who welcomed me with an emailed welcome package, formal estimate and contract. My move was from Northern California to Delaware, and the estimate for moving our 3 bed townhome was going to be some $5k, which is really a good rate. Too good to be true y'all! Ryan sent me over to "customer service department," which I now understand is some woman sitting in the same apartment as the other crooks. She also welcomed me, and gave me a receipt for my deposit to retain their services, amounting to $1,840. She assured me that someone would give me a call in the weeks before our scheduled move, which was to take place on August 1.
On July 23, a scumbag by the name of "Greg" (if anybody knows his last name -- please share --- I would like to thoroughly drag him and any reputation he has left), texted me to set up a call that day. He later called and we took an even more detailed inventory of all of our things we were moving across country - even more detailed than the initial call with Ryan Franklin. During this call, I added a few small items to my move, and Greg informed me that because their rates depend on cubic square feet I need to make another payment to keep my account up. I actually felt relieved to hear this, because my gut told me that the initial quote was too good to be true. I did understand that this was a rather snaky sales approach, increasing the estimate in this way, but it was still a lower rate than most other companies we researched, and the transit time to delivery was really ideal. I was willing to pay another $1,500 at that time, which would mean my final payments at pickup and delivery would be a little under $2,000. We also loved that our first deposit of the $1,840 was payable via credit. But on this second call, Greg told me that "due to covid-19, credit card processing was not able to process their customer payments" things were "delayed," and they required a direct payment. Greg mentioned zelle payment directly from my account would be preferable. I have learned a huge lesson with this ordeal. When this hogwash was entering my ears, I felt that it was lies, and it made very little sense. I should have stopped working with them at this red flag, but again, we had never made such a move before, or worked with moving companies, no less moving brokers, as Moving Pro Logistics claim to be, and not wanting the added stress of requesting a refund or potentially losing money we already paid, and being verbally assured by Greg that questions I raised about the sneaky language of their contract meant that their customers would be protected (lies!), we foolishly continued working with them, and sent them the requested $1,500 via zelle. I nothing short of regret doing so!
At the end of this call, Greg assured me that they would have movers out to our home on the 1st. I told him this was very important because we had cleaners coming that same day, would then meet with our landlords to close out our lease, and had hotels scheduled for that night, and a cross country drive booked after that. He assured me that was no problem and they would definitely call me on July 31st to give me the exact timeframe they would come to move me out on August 1st.
On July 31, NO ONE CALLED ME! I called them instead, repeatedly, on all numbers associated with their SCAM. NO ONE ANSWERED! I emailed all persons associated with their scam, no one responded! I called Greg's cell phone (754) 246-6684 but he ignored my calls.OnAugust 1, no one showed up & no one has EVER called me since!
Look on the Better Business Bureau (they're not accredited!) and mymovingreviews.com. All horrible reviews stating that these scammers have actually either directly ROBBED PEOPLE of all of their belongings, or else hired shady local movers that even NEVER DELIVERED PEOPLES' STUFF!!!
I am so happy I filed multiple police reports and will drag them on every review site possible and the BBB in the hopes that other good people don't get scammed and left with a huge mess to clean up, and that they can be stopped and justice will be had.
