I've been hosed/Moving

[viellen]

Ok Davis Square community, help me out here. Last week I was searching Craigslist for movers and I found a guy named Christopher Doherty who supposedly owns a moving company in the Boston area. He claimed they're insured, 100% money back guarantee, moved by clean-cut college kids, yada yada yada. We talked for a while (on the phone, not over email), I asked everything I thought I should ask, and he gave me a flat rate with tax around $350...which I thought was a great price. To book the move I put down a $100 deposit and I was going to call him today with the details. So I called, and got *another* moving company, who told me not to deal with Chris because he's dishonest. And low and behold his craigslist ads were pulled, and all I have is his email address. So first of all..WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Second of all, have any of you guys dealt with him/gotten scammed by him? And finally, can somebody PLEASE recommend local movers that won't fucking scam me? Thanks for all the help you can give, I feel like an idiot.

I don't recall off hand, and it depends completely how far they need to go and how much stuff you have. If you call them they will be able to give you an accurate estimate on the spot.
