On April 14th, Mega Moving and Storage co. Picked up all the remaining worldy goods of JOHN * at his apartment at 310 Lago cr, Apt 103, West Melbourne, Florida 32904.
JOHN * had contracted with Mega several weeks earlier primarily negotiating said contract (Job Order # F313753) with a woman in Customer Service named "KIM". This woman never gave a last name in any correspondence or phOne conversations with JOHN during this extended period of 3 to 4 weeks.
"KIM" seduced (JOHN) through repeated assuarnces that the company she represented (Mega) was unlike any of the moving companies I had read about and researched on the Web.
Mega was reliable, strong, ethical and she "KIM" would be my personal representative throught the actual time of my move which was scheduled for April 15 but subsequently moved up one day at the request of Mega's driver "Isaac" to April 14. As fate would have it, one the day of the move this seductive woman named "KIM" disappeared from the face of the earth. (JOHN) was told various tales regarding her disappearence, including she had to take an emergency leave of absence and then that she had been fired. Neither was true as "KIM" can still be reached today by calling Mega.
On April 14, at 11am, (3 hours late) Isaac, the driver for Mega Moving showed up with his helper at (JOHN)'s apartment at 310 Lago cr, West Melbourne, FL 32904. They loaded the Mega truck with all the remaining worldly goods of JOHN' *, a 78 year old man of failing health and living alone on his monthy social security check of $1500.00 with no additional income.
They placed all his goods, including but not limited to an RCA TV, a Hutch, Dining room table and 4 chairs, Sleeper sofa, a Lazy Boy recliner, a queens size bed with Bookend type headboard, a full size double dresser, a vacuum cleaner, a full size office desk, 2 cocktail tables and one end table,
Golf bag with full set of Callaway golf clubs, a step ladder, a massager for Mr. Olimpio's sciatic back problem, a desktop PC and 30 packed boxes loaded with all of the hereafter called "Victim"'s personal effects including medications, china, flatware, important documents, all photos extending over a 78 year lifetime.
The loading took 3 hours and then the driver accepted a credit charge payment of $300.00 as part of the agreed upon total payment for move of #1050.00 with balance to be paid to Mega by victim upon delivery of loaded goods to 248 Sun Colony Blvd, Unit 103, Longs, SC 29568 2 days hence (April 16) NOTE: Fine print on order says Mega may take as much as 14 days to deliver but "KIM" had assured victim that the verbal agreement between victim and "KIM" would overide the fine print and said verbal agreement would be firm and binding.
Driver Isaac told victim he would call him the next day while he was on the road driving to victim's new residence in Longs, SC and would give him a definite time of arrival for delivery datre of April 16.
Victim drove in his car to Longs, SC and all day on April 16 waited anxiously at his new residence at 248 Sun Colony Blvd, unit 103, Longs, SC. The truck never arrived and the Driver, Isaac never called. Today is April 28, 2 weeks after the victims only remaining worldy goods were stolen from him by Mega Moving Co.in that two week period he has not received ONE call from either the Driver, Isaac or anyine at Mega's home office in North Miami Beach, Fl.
Victim has called repeatedly to Mega's home office and the Driver, Isaac's cell phone. Every time Victim called he was given to a different unknown party with names of samuel, Wendy, Maria, erica etc etc ad nauseum. He has also repeatedly called the mystery woman "KIM".
No one has responded or would tell him where his remaining wordly goods are located (warehouse, truck, river?) or the condition of said goods.
The victim is devestated, What little he had left in life is gone. He has had thoughts of "why go on" but wants to live long enough to see the perpetrator of the crimes against him brought to justice.
The victim will post regular complaints from all other victimized by Mega Moving and Storage on a daily basis.
On may 2, mega finally called (john) and said they were ready to deliver his goods but would need an additional $800.00 to do so.
(john) said he would not pay them one additional cent. They said (john) would never see his goods again
(JOHN) called the local police and reported the attempted extortion.
Your thoughts and reactions are kindly solicitated.
