Police have laid hundreds of charges against movers accused scamming customers for quoting low prices, but charging more and holding belongings unless the bill is paid. Marketplace had exclusive access inside the bust.
Following an undercover investigation by CBC's Marketplace into a group of national moving companies accused of deceptive pricing, Toronto police have arrested two key figures and charged them with a slew of criminal offences.
A group of moving companies is offering low quotes and then increasing the total cost of moves by thousands of dollars in some cases grossly over-estimating the weight of goods to be moved, a CBC Marketplace investigation has found.
