Agoyu was recently featured on ABC WPBF News 25, spotlighting a troubling but all-too common issue facing people moving today — moving company scams that lure customers with low quotes and then spring huge surprise charges on moving day. The investigative segment shared stories from Florida residents who were quoted a few hundred dollars but hit with thousands more once their belongings were loaded, a classic bait-and-switch tactic that can devastate families financially.
What makes this coverage especially meaningful is how Agoyu’s technology is presented as a part of the solution. By using AI to analyze a video of your belongings and generate an accurate move estimate before you ever sign a contract, Agoyu helps you see what a reputable cost should be — before movers show up at your door. The app also directs users to vetted, licensed movers, complete with DOT licensing, complaint history, and inspection records, putting critical transparency into your hands.
“In markets rife with ‘fly-by-night’ operators, your best defense is avoiding scams in the first place,” the WPBF report explained, and that’s exactly what Agoyu is designed to do. By surfacing accurate pricing and clear mover credentials, Agoyu gives you the power to compare honest quotes and avoid hidden fees, so you don’t fall prey to surprise charges or questionable providers.
Moving shouldn’t be stressful or unsafe — and as this recent feature shows, tools like Agoyu are helping keep consumers informed, protected, and in control of their moving experience.
