MOVING COMPANIES AND CONSUMERS BEWARE (CAR HOAX! PLEASE READ)

It has been brought to our attention, there are several emails that are in the circulation and an ad on  Craig’s List by someone using the identity of a legitimate moving company trying to sell a vehicle.  The actual company, Absolutemovingandstorage.com  has nothing to do with the emails, it’s a scam.  One of the scam emails or postings tell of an individual or couple that lost their son in Iraq, in combat.  They are trying to sell his vehicle for $4000.00 (including shipping) to offset debts and expenses, etc.

The scammers ask potentail purchasers to send a moneygram or wire funds in the amount of $4000.00 and once received Absolute-Moving.net will guarantee delivery.  Everyone PLEASE BE ON THE ALERT!  This is a moving scam.  Do not release any banking information, do not send any money, NO VEHICLE IS GOING TO BE DELIVERED.  The people responsible for this scam are most likely outside the U.S. so the chance of catching them or recovering any transferred money is near zero. 

Please review  the sample email below of what is being sent to people.  There is another email being sent (mentioned above) about a couple’s lost son.  The number listed does go to the actual moving company but the mover has nothing to do with the scam and has no knowledge of any delivery.  Everyone should become familiar with the article to see how the scam works.  Any questions, comments, or input regarding this scam or others should be sent to support@emovingstorage.com.  The original person who  received this informations name has been deleted for protection of their identity.

> Please confirm your phone # , We will call you to confirm your address and discuss accessibility.
> If accessibility is limited the driver may suggest meeting at a local supermarket or mall with ample space to unload your car.
> Your car will be transported on an 8 or 10-car hauler, the same type of trucks used to deliver new cars to your local dealerships.
> These trucks are 75 to 80 feet long and are almost 14 feet high. Therefore they are very hard to maneuver and are restricted to main roads that do not have any overhanging trees or low clearance bridges.
> Our drivers will call you the morning of your delivery date to give you a three-hour block of time during which your delivery will be made.
> This call also confirms to us that you will be available to receive the delivery on the scheduled date. If you are not home when we attempt to make your delivery on the scheduled delivery date, we will help you reschedule your delivery for the next available date.
