Greetings, wanted to warn everyone here of another scam broker that is using a chameleon carrier to book loads from other Legit brokers then posting on DAT for high rates... Getting carriers to deliver, cashing in their BOLs and leaving the carriers unpaid.
Right now these scam artists have about a dozen claims in the last week.
DAT has been notified, unsure if they've taken action yet.
This is why Brokerage Authority and bonding need to be addressed.
75k bonds need to be raised to 750k (just like a Carrier liability insurance) for scammers like this, leaving long lists of carriers unpaid.
Their bonding companies need to be verified by FMCSA also.
These scammers are using Gray's bonding and Surety which I've tried contacting multiple times and they seem to be a scammer front as well
The Fake Carrier address comes back to a shopping mall mail company in Phoenix AZ.

So you used a broker that has been in business for 30 days, with no no credit rating?
pavrom, HAHATOTHEBANK and true blue Thank this. -
Contact for Freight Haulers, with 6 month authority out of LV is one EVA ARUTIUNIAN - any ian or yan last name is likely Armenian... and i know there are at least 75 brokerages operating in Armenia and that just double broker all day long. They own factoring companies and insurance and are into real estate. They have most of the MC#s in the Glendale area of CA but also now in CO and ID and other states - think hot housing markets. Id bet $50 dollars that Freight Haulers doesn't have a DAT account - one way to catch them is if they call on your DAT posting without a DAT account. Probably have Crossroads factoring too.
See the other threads on here for lists of the double brokering carrier and broker MC#s. This #### is out of control.Space Truckin, Lite bug, 86scotty and 4 others Thank this. -
Why make everyone pay more because of them?
That’s like saying We need to raise our insurance 7.5 million instead of 750k because there’s some idiot rolled in the ditch a few miles behind you. -

How did that play a part here?Vampire Thanks this. -
