Summary
A 70-year-old scam artist named Moshe Yzhari was arrested in Miami for orchestrating a moving fraud that targeted vulnerable homeowners, holding their furniture hostage for extortion payments. The scheme, which began in Ohio and expanded to North Carolina, involved moving companies promising relocation services then demanding outrageous fees to return belongings — one victim was threatened with keeping $20K worth of furniture unless she paid $5,200. Yzhari, already linked to a similar bust in Raleigh, was slapped with a $250K bond and released — but the investigation is far from over, with more victims expected to come forward. A stark warning: always verify moving services, get contracts in writing, and never pay upfront without clear terms.
