In May 2025, I hired a broker to arrange transport for my vehicle from Texas to Washington. I later discovered that this broker was a scammer who impersonated a client, used a false name and delivery address, and dispatched a legitimate trucking company (US Star Trucking LLC) to pick up my car under false pretenses.
My vehicle was picked up by US Star Trucking based on this fraudulent dispatch. I didn't sign any agreement with the company and was unaware of their involvement until the transport was completed. Once the vehicle arrived, the company demanded payment of $1,450 to release the keys and refused to acknowledge that I did not owe the money, even after admitting that the contract was fraudulently created. Instead, despite knowing of this fraud, they continued to assert that I owed payment of at least $300 to compensate for the driver's time (and that, to recover the car I would need to pay the full $1,450) or alternatively, sign documents to close the matter. When I refused, stating I did not wish to pay these funds, they stated they would open a case and contact the police.
Upon learning my name through the phone conversation, they also asked me to sign a new order that listed me as the shipper, with a $2,500 charge, which I declined. They continued calling persistently, urging me to sign this order and claiming they would not request payment from me and would leave me alone afterward. However, this contradicted the new order itself, which showed a $2,500 charge for me to ship the car to their location.
I have since filed a police report, informed the company in writing that I did not authorize the transport or sign any agreement with them, and requested written confirmation that I will not be held liable. They have still not responded.
I am not disputing the carrier’s involvement in good faith, but rather their refusal to acknowledge a fraud-based contract and their attempt to assign liability to someone who didn't authorize the transaction.Business Response

Unfortunately, this does not respond to my complaint at all. It also does not acknowledge my request for a confirmation that since the car is in their possession, I am not responsible for fees, expenses, or other liabilities. This is not a good faith response to my complaint.Initial Complaint

Quoted 1200 originally then bait and switch. Offered at 1600 then after I pressed them to resolve the issue they deducted 50 for their commission. So told me they would pick it up then claimed they don’t do that distance. Severely underestimated their abilities to scam peopleBusiness Response

US STAR TRUCKING does very bad business and i urge anyone shopping for vehicle transport services to stay away from this broker. Just like every other review, the price was $150 higher on delivery then it was when picked up. Contacting the brokerage is a nightmare, and every detail was repeated relentlessly to ensure clarity on the deal. They did fix the issue by taking care of the additional payment with the truckers and i appreciate that however, this all could have been avoided by accurately assessing the shipment and charging accordingly. I wont be using US STAR TRUCKING again. It seems like many people were scammed and I was lucky - STAY AWAY. Do not enter a contract with these people.Business Response

During the week on 19 May 2025, I contacted with US Star Trucking LLC to inquire about having my vehicle transported from ******* ** ** *********** **.
US Star Trucking LLC quoted me a price for $250, with pick-up on 27 May and delivery on 28 May.
I signed a contract on for the transport on 23 May 2025.
On Tuesday, 27 May, I drove approximately200 miles to meet US Star Trucking LLC in ******* ** so that I could oversee the loading of my vehicle. When I arrived at the agreed upon pick-up location, I called US Star Trucking LLC to confirm that everything was all set, and the vehicle was ready for pick-up. During this phone call, ***** from US Star Trucking LLC, informed me that he would not honor his contract, and wanted $575 to do the job. I was in shock and disbelief that the company would renege on a signed contract, demand more than double what they quoted me and tried to extort additional funds, thinking I was desperate and had no other options. ***** made these demands while on speaker phone, and his demands were overheard by employees of the dealership (employees not known to me). We were all stunned at *****'s demands as well as his unethical and unlawful behavior.
I informed ***** from US Star Trucking LLC, that he had a signed contract for a specific price and that if he couldn't do the job for the agreed upon price, I would not do business with him. He refused to honor his contract and I decided to end the call and not do business with such a corrupt and unethical business.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The reply is completely non-responsive and did not address a single issue raised in my complaint. I had a signed contract with an agreed upon price with US Star Trucking. They provided the price quote that I accepted. It was up to US Star Trucking to negotiate a price with a driver and provide me with that price. Instead, they did the classic (and illegal) "bait and switch". They quoted me a low price, signed a contract for that price and then tried to extort additional money when they thought I was desperate for their services.

I signed a contract with the business to transport my vehicle for $550. The day before it was supposed to be picked up, they told me it was not possible for $550 but that I had to pay $850. By that time, I had arranged personal travel, family, and friends to coordinate the pickup and drop off. This was on 17 May 2025. I had no choice given the timeline but to agree to the more expensive price after I had arranged everything. They were two hours late on pickup. Then, I was given a day and a half window in which I had to be available for delivery. I was given 40 minutes notice of drop off. Then I had to pay via Zelle directly to the driver, which felt like a scam.Business Response

I hired US Star Trucking LLC to ship my 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid. **** said he would be able to do it without my keys and I signed a contract Tuesday May 13th 2025. He did not complete the job on the day we agreed to. Than he had me sign an additional contract where he spiked the price due to the car not having keys although I told him upfront I did not have to keys. He again told me he would have it done on Thursday May 15th multiple times (I have all messages saved) Him, the driver he hired and the secretary at the company that was hired by US Star Trucking LLC did not complete the task as promised and provided poor customer service. The driver damaged my car door. I have text messages and photos of the lies and damages. I am asking for the money I paid to be refunded, compensation for the damage they did to my car, compensation for lying to me, wasting my time and violating two contracts and the overall disrespect and emotional stress the whole ordeal put me through. **** made multiple false promises, violated two contracts, and did not perform the services he promised.Business Response

In late March 2025 I contacted US Star Trucking to arrange for them to ship a car from Connecticut to Vermont. The agreement was theywould pick the car up on May 1 and drop it off the same day. They contacted me on April 30 stating They had a driver available at that time and if it was OK to pick the car up on April 30. I said yes butunfortunately the driver never showed up. They then said the driver would show up on May 1 but again the driver never showed up. I explicitly indirectly told them that I needed the car delivered no later than the evening of April 1 because I was leaving the country that evening they agreed. As noted the car was never delivered so I requested a full refund of my deposit. They refuse to pay it. Therefore, I am out $200 without ever receiving any services.Business Response

In the past, I successfully used this service to deliver my vehicle while stationed overseas, which led me to trust this company again to transport my vehicle upon my return to North Carolina. Unfortunately, my recent experience was disappointing and unacceptable.
On 3/28/2025 I signed a contract with your representative, ****** ***** for a $500 deposit and $800 COD. *** **** contacted me multiple times via phone to encourage me to sign the contract, which I have documented. However, after I signed, he unilaterally booked a driver for an additional $300 COD and increased the deposit by $20, without my consent or prior notification. Furthermore, there was no amended contract provided, as required by Line 2 of our agreement, which states that modifications must be made in writing and signed by an authorized officer of US Star Trucking LLC.
Despite my immediate objection to the unauthorized changes, *** **** scheduled the driver without my permission and later stated he would find another carrier. However, he never followed through and instead insisted the original arrangement was final, offering minor discounts for future services, which I declined. His communication was both unprofessional and disrespectful; he even accused me of lying during a subsequent call.
I attempted to resolve the matter amicably by sending multiple emails to your company, but received no response until I mentioned filing a complaint. When I did finally receive calls from Andrew and another representative named James, both hung up on me mid-conversation, which I find highly unprofessional (one of these calls was recorded).
Additionally, there was no Bill of Lading provided at either pickup or delivery. This lack of proper documentation is a serious breach of industry standards.
Given the numerous breaches of contract and the unacceptable handling of my concerns, I am requesting a full refund of my $520 deposit in accordance with Line 23 of the contract. I have retained all communications.Business Response
