Seattle Professional Movers posed as an affiliate of Seattle Movers, LLC, creating a business license, address and phone number, according to the Redmond Police Department. But Seattle Professional Movers had no affiliation with Seattle Movers, LLC or Lu.
A Redmond couple hired the movers in February after seeing an ad on Craigslist. The movers loaded the couple's belongings into a truck and said they would arrive at their new Bellevue residence within hours. The couple attempted to contact the movers for several hours after they failed to show up.
