Good morning good people. I finally got on the road again. Anyway, here is a new one...
A company out of Pakistan, with a virtual office in Virginia, is threatening to wreck my MC# by falsely booking loads and filing a Freightguard against me unless I send them $1700.
Before anyone asks, NO, I have never done business with them, nor any other dispatching service.
So my question is, how easy is this to do? Can ANYONE file a Freightguard on anyone else? Can they book loads using my MC that easily?
I'm calling FMCSA first thing Monday morning.

call your highway patrol office and ask for someone and have proof and file charges of extortion.
they’ll want proof, emails, texts, something in writing.Siinman, Flat Earth Trucker and gekko1323 Thank this. -

Ah yes, the great promise of the internet, that has now become a giant sewer.
Keep us posted.
Any rating agency (Freightguard in this case) that accepts unverified anonymous negative entries and sullies your reputation does so at their peril.
I believe "The Hammer" may want to open up another branch of his law office to collect his 35%.OLDSKOOLERnWV, Flat Earth Trucker, Magoo1968 and 3 others Thank this. -
Here is what we did.
Contacted both the FBI and the Michigan state police internet crime task force. Sent them all the emails and texts from these clowns from India (it isn't just Pakistan).
My lawyer also contacted Carrier411 in Florida, sent them everything plus the contact info from the agents from the two law enforcement group.
My manager followed up with Carrier411 a few weeks later and found there was one attempt to trash my company but it was deleted and the account closed.
Carrier411 doesn't want this crap on their door step by the way.Siinman, Flat Earth Trucker, Eddiec and 7 others Thank this. -
I’ve filed many reports to them.

Law of averages is what they’re betting on. If one out of a thousand sends money the they win. They’ll run the scam out of a location for a short time then move to another location to run it all over again.
The emails they use are all disposable and the tell #’s are spoofed. They know how to avoid getting caught.
Just ignore them and don’t communicate with them. File a report with the FTC.Siinman, OLDSKOOLERnWV, Flat Earth Trucker and 2 others Thank this. -
Flat Earth Trucker, PPLC, gekko1323 and 1 other person Thank this.
