I contrated Prestige Moving & Storage to move a 1-bedroom apt from San Diego to Austin.  The original estimate was for 2000lbs and $1300.  After everything was loaded on the truck- the movers gave me the "revised estimate" of 4500lbs and $3000!  I, of course was upset, they said I could follow them to the scales (150 miles away) to verify the weight.  I immediately called the company, where they assured me if the weight cert. showed lower I would receive a refund.  I decided not to make a stink until after my stuff was delivered- which was good, because now after reading all the horror stories of stuff being held hostage- it's scary how these companies work!  I have repeatly called and emailed requesting the actual weight on the cert.- reminding them they said I would rec. a refund if due.  They assure me everytime they will email it right away.  Yesterday, I spoke with a man named Ben Levy.  He promised he would take care of the situation.  Guess What!  I started googling moving scams- his name pops up everywhere for indictments in Fl. a few years ago!  I don't mind paying for my actual move at the correct weight- I just want to see the lading bill!  This is so frustrating!  I had never used a moving company before- I had NO IDEA there were all the irreputable, dishonest scammers!  And they all seem to be foreigners!  Every name on the indictment list from 2003 were all mid-eastern names.  Where is the watchdogs of America?  I filed with BBB, Rip-off report, I tried to contact the US Dept of Transportation- they said it wasn't their domain-  who's is it!  I think this all happened about 8-10 years ago when they deregulated the shipping business.  Our government!  Whew- that felt good to vent!

PrestigeMoving & Storage is not a real moving company.
