A Van Lines, AAA Van Lines, Other Aliases, Criminals My Goods Taken Hostage, Theft from my Bank Account, Scumbag treatment Norcross Georgia
This is a criminal gang, with many aliases and locations. Owners are Nik/Nicolas Paz and wife Rebecca Paz, Israeli criminals. Shlomo Paz, Dikla, Batya are family associates.
After a 'complete' quote of $850 and a 'backup' bank card authorization from me, they picked up and the extortion began. Yesterday they got $450 cash from me, and then used the authorization to steal $2000 out of my account, and now lie and say they didn't, as if my bank would lie! They threatened not to deliver at all if I complain. James Whittle is another criminal at this company, a liar through and through.
They are now holding my belongings hostage, as of 8-22-08. Today out of the blue a call announces they may be coming to deliver, and expect another 1000. I have filed a criminal complaint and claims with all pertinent agencies. Among aliases, this gang operated AAA van lines out of Norcross, and others. Scum sucking swine to the last of them.

These criminals finally sent their lackies to deliver my worldly belongings--- typically they showed up in the middle of the night and totally contradictory to their alleged 'schedule.' I had been in contact with my local police, who agreed to appear at my house when I confronted them.
Because the crime had been initiated in Georgia, local police had little authority beyond standing present and checking the drivers' licenses, while I furiously refused to pay their final extortion, as I had already had my bank account broken into for $2000 the day before. These punks could see the police were toothless, and so called my bluff, easing back out of the driveway as I refused to pay. Finally I shelled out $900 more dollars in the driveway, couning out 20s of hard earned money, held up by thugs with the cops looking on. THey unloaded my goods in the yard, as I wouldn't have these criminals in my house. Let's see where the criminal investigation goes.
This whole moving scam has evolved into one of nation's great growth industries. In 2001, the Better Business Bureau logged 6,900 complaints against unscrupulous movers. Federal agencies received 4,000.
Complaints have been escalating since Congress deregulated the moving industry in 1995 and disbanded the Interstate Commerce Commission, effectively ending federal oversight of the nastier aspects of the business.
Worse, an industry-backed amendment to the deregulation bill actually protects movers from civil lawsuits for fraud, extortion, negligence, breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation and other activities that pretty well define moving fraud. Before the FBI moved in, the worst penalty facing a unscrupulous mover was a refund of the overcharge.
The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) WAS a federal agency created by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 to insure that the public receives fair and reasonable rates and services from carriers and transportation service firms involved in interstate commerce.
By the 90's, the ICC had dropped from a high of 2400 employees to 300 and was constrained by a severely reduced budget. The Republicans, who had wanted to eliminate the ICC for a number of years, took control of Congress in 1995. As a first step, the fiscal 1996 spending bill (HR2002-FL 104-50) gave the ICC no budget. Then the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved HR2539, and the debate began. Congress soon enacted legislation to terminate the ICC (HR2539-PL 104-88). On December 29, 1995, the 108-year-old Interstate Commerce Commission was disbanded. Enjoy the results! And don't forget to vote!
