  USA v. PARDI et al 2:22-cr-00049-PD E.D. Pa.
  

  As of February 18, 2022

  PHILADELPHIA – United States Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced that Matthew Pardi, 37, of Fort Lauderdale, FL, and Ashley Lynn Hars, of Plantation, FL, and Pardi’s wholly owned corporation, Proud American Vanlines, LLC, formerly known as Moving Accounting Department, LLC, were charged by Indictment with wire fraud, interstate transportation of property obtained by fraud, and aggravated identity theft in connection with a scheme in which they held customers’ belongings for ransom.

  The Indictment alleges that over the course of more than three years, Pardi and Hars created a series of online profiles for moving companies, stealing the identities of legitimate companies to support their fake identities. The defendants falsely claimed that the companies were “family owned,” that they had been in business for over a decade and boasted more than a thousand satisfied customers. The defendants created false 5-Star reviews on their own websites and on legitimate review websites such as the Better Business Bureau and Yelp!, in order to trick customers into booking their moving services and providing deposits. According to the Indictment, once the customer was ensnared, the defendants routinely increased the estimate of their fees, both before the move was begun and after the goods were loaded onto the moving truck, in clear violation of federal regulations. If a customer refused to agree to pay the increased price, the defendants refused to deliver the customer’s household goods. As a result of the scheme, the defendants fraudulently obtained more than $12 million.

  As part of this scheme, the defendants and their associates created and did business under the following Pardi Company names and websites: American Eagle Moving (americaneaglemoving.net); Alliance Movers (alliancemoversinc.com); Titan Moving and Storage (titanmovingandstorage.com); First Call Relocations (firstcallrelocations.com); Trans World Van Lines, Inc. (transworldvanlinesinc.com, transworldvanlines.net); Safeway Moving System (safewaymovingsystem.com); Gateway Moving and Storage (gatewaymovingand-storage.com); and Prestige Worldwide Moving (prestigeworldwidemoving.com), among others.  They left in their wake victims from all over the country, including many from Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs.

  If you were victimized by any of the Pardi Companies listed in the indictment, we want to hear from you at [email protected].”

  An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
