When the school year comes to an end, many Arizonans choose to move during the summer months. Whether a student is graduating from college or a family is relocating across town or out of state, Attorney General Kris Mayes is urging Arizonans to be vigilant about moving scams.

Moving can be a stressful and expensive experience even when everything goes as planned. But it can quickly turn into a nightmare if you fall victim to a dishonest moving company. Moving scams can include false advertising, undisclosed fees, lowball price estimates, and possessions being held hostage until consumers pay inflated, unexpected charges. 

"I will go after any company that threatens to keep your belongings in an attempt to extort more of your hard-earned money. Movers should be on notice that my office is watching, and we will hold bad actors accountable. No Arizona family should have to fight to get their own possessions back. If you’ve been victimized by a moving scam, my office wants to hear from you." – AG Mayes
