(From KGCS)Graduating college, getting married or outgrowing a current home, many use the summer months to move. Spring and summer are the peak moving season, and more than 700 complaints were filed with the Better Business Bureau in 2024 alone against movers. How to hire professionals or safely secure a rental truck to do it yourself without opening the door to scam artists is the focus of the next Newsmakers program.
BBB Regional Director Pamela Hernandez shares what you need to know to hire movers and expectations of their duties. She explains scams that include upcharges, extra fees, stolen items, and no-shows. Hernandez reveals various warning signs and red flags connected with moving and explains fake rental listings and credit check scams as well.
Newsmakers is airing nightly at 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. beginning on KGCS-TV May 31 and will air at 5:30 a.m. Saturday, June 6 on KOAM-TV. It is also posted on the station’s YouTube channel: KGCS – Missouri Southern State University.
