    Moving scams are rampant across Florida. But a new law that took effect this month aims to change that.

    Nearly half of all moving scam-related complaints submitted to the Federal Department of Transportation in 2023 came out of Florida. The agency dubbed the state as the No. 1 in the country at risk of moving fraud that same year.

    The new state law targets one kind of scam specifically: moving brokers.
