MOVING FYI:
Avoid internet moving scams
There are many moving service providers listed on local classifieds websites. However, don’t be mistaken to assume that these are all legit moving companies. Some of them are not licensed and operate without proper qualifications. More importantly, these “movers” will not have insurance coverage and will not be able to provide adequate reimbursement in case of damages to your goods. Craigslist and other online classified sites are probably one of the best places for selling products that you no longer need or purchasing items that you do need at a very affordable price. It is also the place that one can get affordable services like lawn care, carpentry among others. On-line classified websites also attract several scammers and a moving scam is no exception. Too often on those sites you can see a moving offer that may appear to be too good to be true. One would be very surprised to discover that what they perceive as professional negotiations with movers is really a professional scam artist at work. All of this can be prevented if you follow some of the rules that we have outlined for you. The first sign that confirms that the moving company you are dealing with is a fraud is that they can move you for $40/hr(includes two men and one truck) or less. Usually reputable companies are the ones who invest in websites and See ‘Moving scams’ page 10

MORTGAGE F.Y.I A quick look at rates and points The interest rate determines the monthly interest payments over the lifetime of the loan. A “point” or “discount point” is equivalent to 1 percent of the loan amount and usually reduces or “discounts” the loan rate by an eighth of a percentage point. For example: You want to get a loan for $100,000 to buy a home. Each “point” would cost you one point of $100,000 or $1,000 but would reduce your loan’s interest rate by .125 percent. The lender might offer you an 8 percent loan with zero points, a 7.875 percent loan with one point, or a 7.75 percent loan with two points. Points, like the down payment, are paid at closing. In some cases, lenders will allow borrowers to finance the points over the term of the loan. Lenders sometimes use points to make their interest rates appear lower. Be aware that lower interest rate offered by a lender may translate into higher points requirements.

60 FREE GALLONS Earlier this year, it seemed like a sure thing that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates this fall for the first time in nearly a decade. But the Fed tossed a curveball in September, announcing that no interest rate hike is pending, and with weaker jobs reports from late summer and early fall, it now seems likely that the Fed won’t raise rates until late this year, or perhaps next year. Although the baseline rates established by the Fed don’t necessarily correspond to mortgage rates, this news does suggest that the historically low mortgage interest rates Central New Yorkers have experienced over the last few years are likely to continue for at least the next few months. Most local banks are currently offering 30-year fixed mortgage rates of around 3.8 percent, down from 4.3 percent a year ago, according to CNN Money. Although there has been some minor fluctuation in these rates over the last several years, with the inactivity of the Fed, rates have been pretty consistent. Whether the Fed will act is an unknown, just as what the exact impact on mortgage rates will be. But what we do know for certain is that mortgage rates right now are historically low, and anyone looking to lock that in for the next 30 years would be wise to do so within the next few months.

Moving scams from page 3 the link so that their customers can not only locate them, but they can also view some of the services offered. Even if a mover does not have a webpage, blogs are free and can be used for anything, even advertising your own company. Even a listing in the local Yellow Pages would prove that the moving ad is a legitimate one. These are the ads that appear in physical directory books as well as the online version of The Yellow Pages. The online version is free and anyone who is serious about their moving business should at least advertise in the electronic yellow pages. Being a member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) also shows integrity for a company. So if you are thinking about getting into the moving business, the Better Business Bureau is the first office that you should visit. In addition, a legitimate moving company would also be registered with the Chamber of Commerce, Movers Association or Department of Transportation among like groups. If
your prospective classified advertiser is not on the list then you might have some problems. Similarly, if the moving company provides a telephone number for which to be reached and your call directly goes to voicemail or someone casually answers the phone with a simple “hello” then you know that it is either a scam or a relatively new and inexperienced company. Also, you may not have heard about the moving company before, but that does not mean that they do not exist. You should network with a few friends and family members to find out if anyone knows about the moving company and the kind of service that they offer. And while we can all use a bargain wherever we may go to shop, it is probably never a good thing to choose a moving company that has low prices. Chances are you may actually end up getting the type of service that you have paid for. Instead spend a little extra for a well-established moving company. It’s worth every penny especially when your personal items are involved.
