Trying to find an interstate moving company I came across a lot of companies that seem to offer great bargains. I researched them, and it turns out they all employ the same basic scam"

One thing I should point out, is that the bids from these companies that I have seen often quote you by cubic footage not by weight. If you get a quote that is priced by cubic footage, that should raise a red flag right away. The reason for this is that if they charge you by weight, they have to provide proof of the weight of your belongings at no charge to you. In fact, as of August 2005, interstate moves based on cubic feet are illegal.
Once the movers show up and most or all of your things are in their truck, they will hit you with the real price of the move. By then it's too late. Your things are on their truck, and they won't get anything off of it without full payment in cash. They will tell you that if you don't pay up, that they will take the truck and sell everything you own to cover the contract.

These companies keep emailing me asking for me for 2 things 1) a large down payments and 2) my signature on a very loosely worded "contract" with them
Any ideas on ways to fuck with these scumbags? I want to make them waste as much time and resources as possible and to make them think they've 'got' me for as long as possible.
