warning moving companies
 
we recently booked our move with a company that said they were The Villages Movers. They were an impostor and the day of the move did not show up and did not answer their phone. Since we have been told their are 3-4 companies that are doing the same thing. Be ware...

I've just booked Village Movers. Were your movers from Ocala or Fruitland Park ?

Fruitland Park should be the real company.

Sadly this is common practice

The fact that they are not answering their phone is of course a bad sign.

Hopefully, you did not give them much of a deposit, If, you gave them a deposit on a credit card call the card company immediately and they may be able to recover your money.

Our police dept has a section, CRIMES AGAINST SENIORS,
yiou should report it and supply copies of any paperwork you have.

Not your problem but VILLAGE MOVERS. Their business has been damaged by this DIRTBAG. .

That's the one I booked. They did provide a copy of their insurance, etc. so I'm just going to take a deep breath and trust.

The original Village Movers with the black trucks is the one I booked, too, to move my mother from an assisted living facility back home. They showed up 2 hours late and I was the one who had to call to see where they were. We have not had one good local mover since we moved down here! :cus:

We had a very good experience with the REAL Village Movers. On time, polite, careful and no damage. If I had seen anything I didn’t like, I would have fired them on the spot. I have no problem doing that.
