Follow the Registered Agent: The Corporate Filing Patterns Behind Moving Fraud

Every company registered in a U.S. state files paperwork with the Secretary of State. That paperwork lists a principal address, a registered agent, officers, and sometimes a mailing address. For legitimate businesses, these filings are mundane. For fraud moving networks, they are a map.

We cross-referenced corporate filings against FMCSA records and found patterns that repeat across every major fraud network we have investigated. The same addresses appear across multiple entities. The same people appear as officers of companies that claim to be competitors. And side-by-side with the moving companies sit management LLCs, real estate holding companies, and consulting firms that reveal where the money actually flows.

A single residential address in a Boynton Beach subdivision is the principal address for four Florida corporate filings:

1. Drinkard Connections and Communications LLC (filed 2025, Active) 2. Kathix Management Group LLC (filed 2023) 3. Big Jeff Jr LLC (filed 2024) 4. 19 Largo LLC (filed 2023, principal address listed as 7789 NW Beacon Square Blvd)

The same address, 19 Largo Way, is also the registered FMCSA address for Rapid Relocation (DOT 3570396). Rapid Relocation has accumulated 83 NCCDB complaints: 3 in 2023, 17 in 2024, 23 in 2025, and 40 in the first nine months of 2026. An accelerating complaint trajectory from a residential address.

Note that 19 Largo LLC lists its principal address at 7789 NW Beacon Square Blvd, Boca Raton. That address is also the registered home of Safe Ship Moving Services LLC, RVance Consulting LLC, and Rissos Respite LLC. Three entities at the same Boca Raton address, plus a property LLC named after a Boynton Beach street that hosts a moving company. These connections are not hidden. They are in public filings.

This Pompano Beach address is the principal address or registered location for at least 13 corporate filings in our database:

Colonial Van Lines Inc (P03000044519, Active) Nationwide Move Management LLC (L15000030352, Active) Vectura Lux National Inc (P26000033633, Active, filed 2026) UPark US LLC (L24000019720) UPark Florida LLC (L23000222080) Bluestone Entertainment Venue LLC (L24000515150, Active) Cargo Cube of Los Angeles CA LLC Cargo Cube of Newark NJ LLC 1031 Realty LLC

Plus three FMCSA-registered carriers at the same address: Colonial Van Lines Inc (DOT 1434373, 25 trucks), Colonial Van Lines of Texas (DOT 828725), and a newer Colonial registration (DOT 4094070).

The entity mix is revealing. A moving company. A move management company. A "lux national" corporation filed in 2026. A parking company. An entertainment venue. A real estate LLC (1031 Realty, named after the IRS tax exchange provision). Two "Cargo Cube" LLCs in different cities. This is not a single moving company. This is a portfolio of related entities sharing physical space and, based on the filing patterns, likely sharing ownership.

Colonial Van Lines (DOT 1434373) has 121 NCCDB complaints across 2023 through 2026: 43, 27, 17, 34. A company with a complaint history surrounded by shell entities in the same suite.

Three entities share this Boca Raton address:

Safe Ship Moving Services LLC (L21000053328, Active) RVance Consulting LLC (L22000265632, Active) Rissos Respite LLC (Active)

Safe Ship Moving Services (DOT 3475743) is one of the most-complained-about moving brokers in the United States: 321 NCCDB complaints in 2025 and 2026 combined, 763 BBB complaints, F rating. Fleet size: 0.

RVance Consulting appears to be a management or consulting entity. Rissos Respite appears to be a personal or lifestyle entity. The pattern is consistent: a moving company generating consumer complaints operates alongside personal and consulting entities at the same address, suggesting a single beneficial owner across all three.

The connection to 19 Largo LLC (principal address at this same location, but named after the Boynton Beach address where Rapid Relocation operates) draws a line between two complaint-generating movers through a real estate holding company.

This New Jersey warehouse address is the FMCSA-registered location for at least four carriers:

Star Line Trucking LLC (DOT 4083083), tagged as Safe Ship network New State Transport Inc (DOT 4123810), tagged as Safe Ship network Two additional carriers at the same address (DOT 3539058, DOT 3463106), one tagged as Safe Ship network

The Wagaraw Road warehouse is part of the broader Qarmout/Tattoli network documented in the $30,000-for-438-miles case. Multiple carriers registered at the same warehouse, dispatched by the same brokers, using different DOT numbers. When one carrier accumulates too many complaints, a new one registers at the same address.

The warehouse model is common in New Jersey, where physical proximity to New York City creates a natural hub for long-distance moving operations. What distinguishes fraud warehouses from legitimate ones is the carrier turnover rate. Legitimate warehouses house the same companies for years. Fraud warehouses cycle through DOT numbers.

KF Moving LLC (DOT 4260313) is registered at 1601 Perrino Place, Suite C, Los Angeles. It is tagged in our database as part of the FL Broker-Carrier Pipeline, the same network that includes LoadRans LLC (DOT 3729978).

LoadRans, registered at a Vernon, CA address, is tagged as both FL Broker-Carrier Pipeline and Safe Ship network. It has accumulated 166 NCCDB complaints across four years: 7 in 2023, 39 in 2024, 47 in 2025, and 73 in the first nine months of 2026. An accelerating trajectory.

The Los Angeles addresses are significant because they represent the carrier end of a broker-carrier pipeline that originates in South Florida. Brokers in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach collect deposits and book moves. Carriers in Los Angeles, Vernon, and surrounding areas dispatch trucks. The physical distance between the broker and carrier makes it harder for consumers to connect the entities, but the corporate filings and FMCSA network tags tell the story.

Any consumer can look up corporate filings. Florida uses Sunbiz.org. California uses the Secretary of State's bizfile system. New Jersey uses NJBGS. Every state has an equivalent.

Here is what to look for:

1. Search the company name. Find the principal address and officers. 2. Search the principal address. See what other companies are registered there. If a moving company shares an address with multiple LLCs that have nothing to do with moving, that is a pattern worth noting. 3. Search the officer names. See what other companies they manage. If the same person is listed as an officer or registered agent on entities in different states, across different industries, the portfolio structure suggests something more than a simple moving company. 4. Look for management LLCs. A company called "[Name] Management Group" or "[Name] Consulting" at the same address as a moving company typically means the moving company's revenue is flowing through a separate entity. 5. Look for real estate LLCs. Property holding companies (like 19 Largo LLC or 1031 Realty LLC) at the same address as a moving company suggest that moving industry revenue is being deployed into real estate, often through entities designed to shield ownership.

None of this is illegal by itself. People are allowed to form multiple LLCs. But when those LLCs share addresses with companies that have hundreds of consumer complaints, the filing pattern becomes an investigative tool.

FMCSA's registration system, Motus, does not cross-reference corporate filings. A new carrier can register at 85 Wagaraw Road, the same warehouse where three previous carriers in the Safe Ship network operated, and the system will process the application without flagging the address.

Corporate filings are publicly available. FMCSA carrier data is publicly available. The connection between them requires manual research that neither FMCSA nor state regulators currently perform at scale.

This is why the fraud networks persist. Not because the information is secret, but because nobody is connecting the dots across databases. The addresses are in the filings. The complaint histories are in the NCCDB. The fraud network tags are visible to anyone who looks. The system failure is not one of information. It is one of integration.
