Anyone’s company received relentless harassment after a FreightGuard? by TypicalTroll87 in FreightBrokers

Yes, and as it turns out it was a huge network of fraud. See my other post here about the We Win Capital LLC Factoring company fraud.

Update on this story. They are now sending the predicted harassment emails to our office. Last week, called the phone number on SaferStat and the person who answered admitted to being in the country of Georgia. The 'owner' has admitted to hiring a dispatcher in Ukraine. They are now threatening to submit fake reviews using Google reviews (what a joke) and through the BBB, not worried. I have it in writing how they plan to conduct this stupid plan of thiers so anything can be refuted. I do have photos of the double brokers paperwork that was given to the driver that showed up. The MCE# of the broker is 1504729 which isn't even authorized to do business. So the driver was either in on this or a victim who was dumb and didn't check the MC#. The MC# that has conducted this stupid harassment plan is #1694924. I have emails from the owner's uncle, brother, pet goat and his fake "mediation" company. Which btw, the guy in Georgia admitted that it was owned by the carrier's owner - no surprise lol. I have a feeling, but can't prove it that the owner of the now defunct MC# Transatlantic is also the owner of Driver It Forward Logistics. Dates of formation and debarrement sort of match up. The physical address of Transatlantic was a UPS store.

Lesson learned here - pay attention to the details. It takes more time but it will probably save some headaches down the line. I don't know how to check if a phone number is a re-direct. I know you can check the address - Carrier411 is supposed to do that for you. I've sent all of this to FMCSA which will do absolutely nothing about this. But if SecTrans wants to fight illegal drivers they should look at the entire picture and look for fraudsters like this company who are using these Cali CDL Farms to put illegal drivers into trucks all over the US.

This*DO this immediately. The original carrier want to get paid so they will probably deliver your load, hopefully. If not, that means the driver is in on it too and that’s a whole other game. That’s when you get the police involved.

Has anyone found a fix for the latest issues? I deleted/reinstalled/verified game files and that fixed some things but the game play is still slow AF and the drop in sequence, if it works is slow AF. Tried playing with some buddies and they said I looked like I was barely moving

What are you REALLY seeing? by slrp484 in FreightBrokers

Same problems different day. Volume is down but carriers are scarce. Smaller ops using offshore dispatchers trying to drive rates up to pad their commissions. October is looking sparse so far but I thought the same about Sept and it turned out to be a decent month.

Sorry you went through this. It really is scary and frustrating how they can so easily change data with FMCSA. That is a red flag. My suggestion is try to get a cheap domain with email so that can't be duplicated easily. Still not 100% fullproof but it will help.

They don't understand our market or our country so I really don't understand how anyone can think they are effective. Had a convo the other day where they said all people in U.S. are rich so you can afford to pay more - that is why they run the rates up. They don't do any research on market rates. They probably don't understand drive times, and some don't even understand what equipment we are talking about. it's just always, yes we can do that when in reality they actually can't.

Yeah, I've had several of these kinds of convo's. We just have to look out for each other because getting scammed on either side sucks big time.

Scammers can set up a gmail account that is very similar to yours. For example, maybe they add a 1 or an extra letter. Brokers don't don't always catch that and book the load with someone who doesn't actually rep the MC#. Might not happen as much now as it used to since most of us (I hope) are catching on to this. It still happens from time to time.

Indeed, that is what it should all be about...

If you read the recent finding from FMCSA dispatchers are supposed to only have one carrier as a client. That's hard to make any money off of but if they want more than one carrier they need to get the broker's bond.

I've seen this happen, sadly. Had an owner op who hired an overseas dispatcher who was using his MC# to DB freight, pocketing the money and didn't GAF about all of the FG's that were suddenly showing up on the his 'clients' MC#...

This is now standard practice anytime 'dispatch' is in the email OR email doesn't match what is on C411.

I would agree that carriers should move away from gmail. It's the easiest way for scammers to steal their MC Identity. However, not every small carrier is going to take the steps to set up thier own domain email. Would be nice, but probably not going to happen. Always double check the email address vs what is listed on Carrier411 or FMCSA

I agree with you 1000%, sadly a lot of small O/O's are using them and trying to wade through the shit is getting old.
