Hireahelper.com provides a list of movers (and other general helpers) on their website from which you can pick from and pay for in advance. This list includes what are supposed to be reviews from previous customers for each mover or helper.
I picked DA Moving, Inc based on what I thought were rave reviews from previous customers. As it turns out, I have every reason to believe that many reviews listed on Hireahelper.com are fraudulent and that Hireahelper.com condones unethical and illegal behavior from their movers for their own financial benefit.
First of all, my own negative review of DA Moving which I posted after receiving their services was edited by someone else several hours later and completely rewritten to be positive. I notified Hireahelper about this, and they refunded the money I paid to them in advance (but not the money I was forced to pay DA Moving) with the explanation that DA Moving had infiltrated my account via a security leak - namely that they obtained the last four digits of my credit card number to identify themselves as me.
As it turns out, Hireahelper.com has complete control over the reviews on their site. I rewrote my negative review again, and this time it was deleted. I rewrote it a 3rd time. The 3rd time my review was kept negative but the text was replaced with text cut and pasted from an earlier email which I sent to Hireahelper with my original complaint - certainly not what I wanted to say in my review.
I have witnessed other reviews on Hireahelper.com being changed or deleted. I have every reason to believe that Hireahelper.com manipulates reviews to make them misrepresentative of their actual movers.
Hireahelper.com still maintains a relationship with DA Moving, Inc even though they agree that I was "ripped off", and any negative review that I post for DA Moving either gets rewritten or deleted. This fact is confirmed by the fact that DA Moving did such a poor job, they could never be representative of the reviews that they have for themselves on Hireahelper.
Hireahelper continues to keep their reviews positive, and it's proven that Hireahelper can change or delete a review at their own will.
