AMERICAN MOVING NETWORK MICHAEL MOORE ASSURED ME HIS COMPANY HELPED WOMAN LIKE ME. ripoff business from hell abused & mistreated DANIA BEACH, Florida *EDitor's Comment
A FRIEND OF MINE IN INDIANA GOT ONLINE TO FIND A TRUCKING COMPANY TO SEE IF THERE WAS A WAY TO MOVE MY FURNITURE TO ANOTHER STATE. A MICHAEL MOORE RESPONDED TO HER REQUEST.
SHE EXPLAINED TO HIM SHE HAD A FRIEND, (ME) WHO WAS UNDER THE VICTIM WITNESS PROGRAM AND NEEDED TO GET HER FURNITURE AND HERSELF OUT OF REDDING, CALIFORNIA. MR. MOORE EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THIS IS WHAT HE DOES. SHE GAVE HIM MY PHONE NUMBER AND HE CALLED ME.
I WAS UNDER ALOT OF STRESS AND TRAUMATIZED BY HAVING TO MOVE ALL MY THINGS OUT IN A SHORT TIME. HE ASSURED ME HE DOES THIS FOR WOMEN IN MY SITUATION AS HE HAD A MOTHER WHO WAS ABUSED AND HE MADE IT HIS LIFE GOAL TO DO THIS. HE ASKED ME TO GIVE HIM A DECRIPTION OF WHAT I HAD AND ITEM BY ITEM. I DID SO.
HE QUOTED ME A PRICE OF AROUND $3500. I TOLD HIM I WAS ONLY ALLOTTED $2,000 FOR FIRST AND LAST AND UTILITIES FOR WHEREVER I MOVED. HE ASSURED ME WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THE MONEY HE WOULD GET FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN SHASTA COUNTY WOULD BE SEPERATE FROM WHAT I RECIEVED. I LEFT TO GO TO INDIANA TO BE WITH MY FRIEND THERE.
AS TIME WENT ON, MY FURNITURE NEVER SHOWED UP. I RECIEVED A CALL FROM AN ADMIRAL FREIGHT AND WAS TOLD MY BELONGINGS WERE THERE AND WERE NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I CAME UP WITH $2056.10. I EXPLAINED THAT MICHAEL MOORE IN FLORIDA WAS GOING TO GET THE MONEY FROM THE DA'S OFFICE IN REDDING, CALIFORNIA AND THAT HE ASSURED ME THIS MONEY WAS SEPARATE FROM WHAT I RECIEVED.
IN THE MEANTIME,I HEADED BACK TO CALIFORNIA AND ON MY WAY STOPPED AT MY SISTERS IN OREGON FOR A FEW DAYS. SHE HAD BEEN CALLING COLORADO WHERE ADMIRAL WAS LOCATED WITH MY BELONGINS AND WAS QUOTED ANOTHER PRICE OF $2786.10. THE EXTRA MONEY WAS BECAUSE A CANDY HAD MY STUFF "CRATED".
BY THIS TIME, I WAS NOT ONLY CONFUSED, BUT GETTING VERY ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED. I CALLED THE DA AND ASKED THEM TO TALK TO THIS MR. MOORE PERSON AS HE HAD TOLD ME HE WAS GETTING THE MONEY FROM THEM SEPARATE FROM WHAT I RECIEVED. THEY TOLD ME IT SOUNDED LIKE I GOT ROBBED AND TO GET AN ATTORNEY.
AS TIME WENT ON I ENDED UP IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA AT MY DAUGHTERS. BY THIS TIME, ADMIRAL FREIGHT SAID THEY WERE GOING TO AUCTION OFF MY "LIFE" IF I DIDN'T COME UP WITH THE MONEY.
I CALLED MICHAEL MOORE AND ASKED HIM WHERE A SIGNED CONTRACT WAS WITH MY NAME ON IT........HE SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO PLAY GAMES WITH ME AND HUNG UP. "THERE IS NO SIGNED CONTRACT WITH ME" NOTHING. NOTHING NOTHING.
THEY HAVE MY FAMILY HEIRLOOMS, MY DOCUMENTS, MY BABY PICTURES, MY TWELVE YEAR OLD SON'S TOYS, BEDROOM, HOBBIES, EVERYTHING.....
MY ARTWORK, MY MUSIC, INSTRUMENTS, MY CUSTOM MADE COUCH, MY ANTIQUES, MY WHOLE LIFE IN THAT CRATE....BETWEEN MICHAEL MOORE AT AMERICAN MOVING NETWORK AND CANDY AT ADMIRAL FREIGHT, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE A SMALL FORTUNE OFF OF ME AND MY SON AND MY GROWN DAUGHTERS WHO HAVE A HERITAGE I HAVE BEEN SAVING FOR THEM WHEN I PASS AWAY.
I NEED INTERVENTION HERE. I GET NOTHING BUT A BIG RUN AROUND AND I HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED AND SICKENED. I HAVE LOST TWENTY POUNDS AND HAVE GOTTEN VERY ILL OVER THIS. MY FAMILY AND I ARE IN SHOCK.
WE ARE ALL, ALONG WITH FRIENDS TRYING TO GET SOME HELP AND WRITING AND CALLING ATTORNEYS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, FAXING ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICES, THE GOVENOR IN FLORIDA, POLICE, ANYTHING WE CAN THINK OF TO STOP THESE THIEVES FROM STEALING OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. I CRY EVERY DAY.
IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP US??????? ADMIRAL FREIGHT IN COLORADO WITH THIS COCKY CANDY PERSON AND SMOOTH TALKING MICHAEL MOORE WITH AMERICAN MOVING NETWORK WHO CAME ON LIKE AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO US.
IF THEY COULD HEAR MY YOUNG TWELVE YEAR OLD SON WEEP AND FEEL THE PAIN IN MY HEART,I DOUBT IF THEY WOULD CARE. THEY ARE SATAN'S DEMONS AT WORK TRYING TO SCREW UP PEOPLE'S LIVES AND DOING A d**n GOOD JOB OF IT! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, MR. MOORE AND YOU, CANDY, WHAT YOU ARE DOING DOES NOT GO WITHOUT REPERCUSSIONS.
IF THIS WOMAN TOUCHES MY BELONGINGS AMD SELLS THEM BEFORE THERE IS INTERVENTION, THEIR LIFE WILL BE A LIVING HELL. I WILL MAKE SURE OF IT. I WILL SPEND AND HAVE BEEN SPENDING ALL MY TIME ALONG WITH MY FAMILY IN TENNESSE AND FRIENDS IN OREGON AND FAMILY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO EXPOSE THEIR BARE ASSES TO THE WORLD. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR ROTTEN SOULS...........

Dave you have no idea what this is about

Dave, obviously you have never been a victim of this moving scam. It is a complete insult to say the victim is looking for something for nothing, as this is nowhere NEAR the truth.
These scam movers will not deliver the goods unless the entire bill is pad, and they can demand an arbitrary amount before the load will be delivered. Even if the victim offered to pay the $2000 she had, she would ahve to pay the rest demanded before ever seeing her goods again.
This situation is called a "hostage load", and that's exactly what it is, much like someone would ask a person to babysit their kid, and the sitter then demands a ransom for the child's return.
This has become a serious issue in America in the past ten years, and the government is finally getting around to huge fines, and civil and criminal penalties for the people who do this on a daily basis, but it is not happening quickly enough.
Why don't you type "American Moving Network" in quotes into a search engine and see what kinds of stories pop up. I can guarantee, from being a victim myself, that the stories you read will astound and anger you. Ignorant people like you blaming the customers only victimizes them a second time.

Read what she has said, she has been jumping back and forth from Indiana to Oregon to Califorina and other places. The Government said they paid her, she spent it on traveling and who knows what else. Had she shown any good faith she would have made at least a partial payment.
I doubt that the moving company is guilt free, but if all they did was rip people off, their business would never survive. Auctioning off used stuff is no money maker, you can't count on people to not pay and then sell their stuff. It makes no sense to load up a moving van, pay your help, deal with lawyers etc just so you can sit on property for 3months before you can legally sell it off. Make sense people, we have become the land of victims. Everyone looking to get something for nothing.

And what a surprise to see the editor respond. And what a nice surprise, good for you!
I've done a bit of 'due diligence' on Derek - and I wonder if he ever returned this woman's possessions? If not the AG may want to know about it.

To respond to the fact that this cust. saying we are asking her to pay addtional fees than what was quoted to her is again untrue. Her bill as it stands now is for the same amount that we quoted her which is $2765.13. We did charge this cust.
an addtional $750.00 for storage cost since she refused to pay the cost of her move.We have since
drop that charge and gave her storage for free so it would make it easier on her.As far as taking advantage of people or scaming victims of violence
that is a lie we do not target victims.We are not in business to take advantage of people,but we are also not in business to do the moves for people free.
EDitor's Comment ..why don't you address the charges?

Hey Derek, what an appropriate name..
Rather than attacking your victim why don't you address the charges. You went after this one but what about all the other victims on this website alone. Why didn't you address those.
What about the charges that you illegally hold property as ransom for fraudulent price modifications. What about the targeting of victims of violent crimes. What's up with that. Oh, and make sure you stick to the issue. If you make an argument, you better know we are going to be all over any fallacies.

if the belongings were that important to her she would have paid the money

In regards to mrs. north's complaint,let me start
by saying that it is all untrue. The real deal is
we did everything to help this cust.t his women could not afford to pay for the move, so mike moore assisted mrs.
Rosealie North in getting the money to pay for the move from the D.A in her city.after a couple of weeks the D.A sent mrs.Rosalie North a check to pay for the move.
But instead of using the money to pay for the move she spent it on other things, when it came to paying for the move again she ask mike to assist her once again for the money. Mike agreed, but when he called the D.A they said that Mrs. Rosalie North took the first check and disappeared and they will not assist her any longer.
WE fell that if the belongings were that important to her she would have paid the money instead of spending it. As far as trying to rip her off by increasing her bill the only charges she as is the cost of the move (NO EXTRA CHARGES WERE ADDED EXCEPT FOR STORAGE,SINCE SHE ISN'T PAYING HER BILL WHICH WE ARE WILLING TO DROP IF SHE WOULD JUST PAY THE BILL) Mrs. Rosealie North want us to move her free.
To this day she has not payed even $1.00 for her move if she wants her belongings and we want to give them to her.All she has to do is call us (without hanging up everytime, and work with us on paying the bill we would be happy to give them to her. WE DON'T WANT THEM
