It sounds like you’ve been hit with a double brokering scam by a ghost company that took the money and vanished. There are a few actions you can take: Insurance claim: If you have contingent cargo insurance, file a claim immediately. If your policy is solid, the insurer should cover the loss. I’ve been in a similar situation, and my underwriter pursued the carrier with a lawsuit and asset recovery after paying my claim. Broker’s bond: File a claim against the broker’s bond immediately. There’s only $75,000 available on that bond, so get in line as soon as possible. FMCSA complaint: File a complaint through FMCSA’s National Consumer Complaint Database (NCCDB). This won’t solve your issue directly, but it could help prevent others from being scammed. Coverage check: If you’re a direct shipper, check with your Commercial Business or General Liability underwriter to see if your policy provides any protection in cases like this. Act quickly, and document everything. This kind of fraud needs to be stopped.
