Gayle Cooke, the owner of Triangle Senior Moving Services, LLC., preys on elderly people who need help with moving. She claims to specialize in organization and downsizing for seniors. Her rules are that adult children aren't allowed to be part of their parent's/parents' moving process and that she has to be in control of every aspect of the move. This might sound desirable at first, but these are the key strategies used in her scam, which includes looking very busy and professional (name tags!) while not getting the job done. She hires unprofessional/unvetted men (no affiliation with a licensed moving company) to physically move things in a truck, and then overcharges her clients for their work. When you press her for details about what she's doing or why, how much things will cost, how many hours she's racked up, what her plans are, what times/dates she plans to do things... or hold her accountable in any way for her mistakes she gets extremely defensive, threatens to quit the job immediately, and/or makes up lies to placate you or divert your attention elsewhere. The more desperate you are for help, the more at risk you are for losing thousands of dollars as you're bullied and intimidated into paying her outrageous fees. She says she's giving you the high end of an estimate when she finally gives you a ballpark price, but that number is likely what she wants to charge you in the end. So, you can expect her to rack up those hours by "performing" in a purposefully inefficient and disorganized manner. Gayle's helpful persona is deceiving; I share this as a warning for anyone considering her services--young or old. read more
