(Undated) – May marks the beginning of the busiest time of year for moving, and the BBB wants you to protect yourself against scam moving companies. The Better Business Bureau reports nearly 1,100 complaints were filed with their office against moving companies last year, nationwide. Among the complaints are movers that never show up, day-of-move price increases, and even those that take your items hostage.

That was BBB Investigator, Don O’Brien. O’Brien says there are several ways to protect yourself, including getting everything in writing, keeping an inventory of your belongings, and asking questions about anything you don’t understand. Lastly, you can always research a company through the BBB. Follow the link below.
