SCAM ALERT: Beware of a new scam targeting Arizonans where a moving company provides a low estimate and then increases the price once all of your belongings are on the moving truck. What you should know 🔽.

PHOENIX — Moving can be one of the most stressful events in your life, and a new scam is making things worse for some Arizonans.

In this scam, a moving company will give a customer a low estimate to move their belongings. But, once the customer loads all of their items onto the moving truck the company substantially increases the price. "Movers who unlawfully take consumers' property hostage are essentially thieves masquerading as movers," said Attorney General Kris Mayes."Arizona law does not allow moving companies to take property hostage illegally. Consumers who face this situation should immediately call law enforcement."
