LND LOGISTICS - DOUBLE BROKER SCAMMER Utilizing A SHYNGYS LLC MC#1562636

Hello, I am new to these threads but I find them helpful. Been in logistics for 5-years and just started on my own last month. These double brokers are all out to try and scam the new brokers. I have an excel list I've created to keep track of who's trying to scam.

Today I booked a load through A SHYNGYS LLC when I first talked to the guy last night he sounded Asian, this morning I called and he sounded European which raised a red flag. I had him send me the driver's details and I tried to call and no one answered. I called him and he then told me he got another driver who could be there faster and gave me a different truck and trailer number. The driver then called and was told to say he was with A SHYNGYS LLC. I gave my customer the name of the truck so he'd know who to look out for and when the carrier arrived my customer told me they had a different company name on the truck. I then spoke to the driver through my customer and the driver told me he booked the load through LND Logistics (as the broker) and was told to say he's with A SHYNGYS LLC. It was a complete mess the double broker told him $500 more than what he agreed with me. I was able to get his legit info and he was with MJ Logistics owner-operator. He wanted the load so I had him vetted and he checked out so I gave him the load.

Question, are there places you would typically report these issues? Any more suggestions for combatting these double brokers?

Best place I know of so far, is right here my friend. A lot of Canadian providers read and post on here - not everyone, but this is a great place to let people know who to watch out for.

As a new comer to the industry, there is no such thing as being too cautious when dealing with any supplier who has been in business less than 5 years. It is equally important that you have a stringent, and I mean stringent, vetting process and that you use it each and every time you want to take on a new carrier…no shortcuts! Also, as a relatively new entity yourself, be honest and transparent with the carriers you do use, and pay them within their terms. Developing good working relationships with solid, professional carriers can make your life a whole lot easier. One last suggestion, listen to your gut, that little voice in your head, your instincts, whatever. They are usually right!

@loaders Thanks for the advance! I agree you can never be too cautious. Good solid relationships are my goal.
