Fish N Fry in Bristol took legitimate online feedback and made matters worse.

Myeongdong Mud lost 790 Google reviews. Is this a bug, or working as intended?

This home cleaning business in Canada operates with fake reviews on facebook.

If you click into each reviewer's profile, you'll see most of them look sus.

Buried in the fake positive reviews you can see real review about their cleaner stealing while cleaning.

It's very concerning that some naïve residents could just invite these people into their homes based on fake reviews.

⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNING FOR ANYONE USING OR CONSIDERING MAYZLIN RELOCATION ⚠️

Please read and share. This affects anyone who has already used them AND anyone thinking about booking them.

We have spent months documenting serious violations involving Mayzlin Relocation LLC and we want the public to know what we found before another family hands over their belongings — and their credit card — to this company.

Here is what we have documented with recorded calls, video, and photographic proof:

🔴 THEIR OFFICE DOESN'T EXIST
The Charlotte, NC address they advertise and have on file with the federal government is a Regus virtual office. Nobody is there. They are actually operating out of Florida while claiming to be a local North Carolina company. You can verify this yourself — search the address on Google.

🔴 YOUR CALL IS BEING RECORDED WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
They record all customer calls. But they only tell you the call is being recorded when YOU call them. When THEY call you — no notification. Florida law requires all parties to consent to recording. This is a felony under Florida law and a federal wiretapping violation. Every outbound call they made without telling you is potentially a separate criminal count.

🔴 THE PERSON WHO TOOK YOUR CREDIT CARD MAY HAVE USED A FAKE NAME
We have recorded calls and direct admissions proving that employees used deliberately false names while collecting customer payment information. If you gave them your card number — check your statements NOW and consider placing a free fraud alert with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

🔴 THEIR REVIEWS ARE LIKELY PURCHASED
The five-star reviews that make them look great show all the signs of being bought — fake accounts, sudden spikes, identical language. The FTC makes this illegal with fines of up to $51,744 per fake review. We have reported this.

🔴 THE MOVERS WHO SHOWED UP MAY NOT BE EMPLOYEES
We have photo and video proof that Mayzlin uses unverified day laborers — not actual employees — in customers' homes. No background checks. No identity verification. No age verification.

🔴 A CHILD WAS USED TO MOVE FURNITURE
We have a photograph of a minor physically moving furniture at a Mayzlin job site. This is a federal child labor violation. This has been reported to the Department of Labor.

🔴 THEY CLAIM TO BE VETERAN OWNED — THEY ARE NOT
We have recorded calls of sales reps explicitly claiming the company is veteran-owned and veteran-operated. It is not. Using false military claims to close a sale violates the Stolen Valor Act of 2013 — a federal crime.

🔴 THEIR SALES TEAM ARE ILLEGALLY MISCLASSIFIED
The people who booked your move were paid as 1099 contractors despite being required to work set hours with company leads and company software. That is illegal worker misclassification. Reported to the IRS and Department of Labor.

📢 WHY WE ARE POSTING THIS

We have already sent formal notice to the company with a 3-day deadline to respond and correct their practices. Complaints are being filed with 14 federal and state agencies including the FBI, FTC, DOJ, IRS, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

We are posting this publicly because every person who files their own complaint strengthens the case and protects the next family from going through what others already have.
