Moving scam - INTERNIC MOVING SERVICES

Dear Madame/Sir,

Me and my husband had searched for a moving company on the Internet, to relocate from Vancouver, Canada to San Jose, California.

Finally, we decided to go with Internic MovingServices. They offered us a cost of US$1995.00 for 3000 (lbs). The offer also stated that a 0.85 cents will be charged for any additional pound. We did have in total 3,350 (lbs). That is a total of US$2,292.50 for 3,350 (lbs).

We signed the contract, and we paid an advance of US$395 to Internic Moving Services. Internic subcontracted this moving to another company "Vega Line" based in Richmond, BC Canada. When Vega Line arrived in San Jose, CA, they asked for the amount of $2,818.17, otherwise they won't unload our goods from the truck. We tried to contact Internic but they didn't answer the phone. So, Vega Line blackmailed us, and we ended overpaying $920.67 in order to get our goods back.

Vega Line said: "Go and discuss with Internic, they should give you the difference back, they are a big company..."

The next day we called Internic Moving Services again. The manager form Internic, Jack Monier said that he can't give us the money back because Vega Line blackmailed us and they also did the same thing to another family. However, he said, he will contact them and solve the case.

We called every day, few times per day for an answer, and they sent us from one department to another.

We contacted VISA, since they charged us on VISA, and tried to dispute the charges. We told VISA about the scam, and they are taking no action.

Sincerely,

Lucia Silivestru

Make sure to report your complaint to the B.B.B.

Amazingly enough, this company still has a B+ rating and no complaints recorded on their files.

Unless we act and make official reports these pirates will still have official credentials to do their dirty deeds.

HEllo Ms Silivestru,

I hope you'll get this message. My husband and I (from Montréal, Canada) are actually suing Internic Moving services for the exact same reasons than you did. It would be such a help for our cause if we could show that our case is all but an exceptions, and that Internic has been ripping off other clients with the same modus operandi.

We would need to get some info on your case, so that we can prove the dishonesty of Internic in court. Could we get in touch? It would mean so much for us!

In advance, thank you very much

A. P.

I recently decided to move from calgary AB to Midland ON using Vega van line. They were great at first then when it came to delivering my furniture....WOW WHAT A SCAM!!!! The price increased from the original quote by almost $1000 dollars more...Items were broken and the movers were the rudest men i have ever met...then when i thought everything was finalized.. the movers said that i needed to pay them an additional amount due to the fact that i had chosen a third floor apartment. I feel like i just got rolled over, i will definetely not be a repeat customer and will do my best to get the word out so that this scam company will close shop once and for all. They have yet to respond to any complaint.

I just moved with Vega Line Moving from Vancouver to Toronto, and their rate and service were just greate. I think it is the best to contact directly with the moving companies not with middle man like Internic Moving. I highly recommend Vega Line for Cross Canada.

The two companies Internic moving and vegas line are one of the same, one scams the other's clients and visa versa. Jack Monier is behind the whole scam, don't stay away from internic moving service but run as fast as you can. complete fraud of a company
