Rancho Cordova moving company warns of potential scam

The company owner said he’s received calls from “customers,” who are wondering where their belongings are after doing business with one of his now former employees

RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif. — A Rancho Cordova moving company said a former employee is taking advantage of customers. 

“He’s telling the victims the credit card machine is broken, so either Cash App me some money or write me a check,” said Patrick Negado.

Negado owns Tony’s Sons Moving and Storage. He said he’s received calls from “customers,” who are wondering where their belongings are after doing business with one of his now former employees.

“Basically stating that we were supposed to move his items to Kansas, and it still hasn’t been delivered and so they are going to take legal action. My response was it’s not in our system. I have no idea what’s going on,” Negado said.

He said he filed a police report explaining that one of the victims wrote a check for $1,100 to the former employee, but the items never made it to their destination.

“It seems to me that perhaps he has figured out a way to just take a couple thousand dollars from people, and he will never be prosecuted for it… we don’t want any more victims,” Negado said.
