A TikTok video posted by a user named Bayley with the handle @type_bay appears to show a moving company’s employees loading items into a truck. The video features on-screen text that presents a stark demand: “That’ll be a $1,000 tip via Zelle or we keep your wardrobe and break your TV.”
The footage shows a large, bright pink moving truck backed up to a curb on a city street. Several men are seen loading large cardboard boxes and other wrapped items into the back of the vehicle. According to the video’s creator, the video’s public caption states, “Hello and welcome to the bad place!” and includes hashtags such as #pieceofcake and #scamcompany.
A song with female vocals plays in the background throughout the clip. The lyrics heard include, “Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping. Out on the streets, the traffic starts chopping. Folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.”
The video has sparked numerous comments from viewers sharing their own experiences
The video’s comment section includes several users who allege negative encounters with the same company. According to the video’s creator, one commenter wrote, “They stole an entire box of Waterford place settings from me in 2020. my 12 piece set went down to 7 and I’ve never been able to replace it bc it’s discontinued. According to the video’s creator, i think I got $60 in compensation for like over $1k of stolen items.”
Another user stated, “I’ll always talk about them too! Two friends both women moving without a man there have been victims of their intimidation and aggressive tip tactics.” A different commenter claimed, “NEVER use Piece of Cake.”
One comment offered an alternative perspective, saying, “My dad owns a moving company! Liberty moving and storage they would never do something like this! We’ve been in business for 80+ years in New York.” Another user suggested a different approach to moving, commenting, “And this is why we call someone with a truck and offer our friends and family some food and a couple bucks to move, I’d hire a person off the street before these scams.” The desire to avoid such moving scams can lead to more personal arrangements, as one property owner’s yard cleanup motivated a neighbor to start mowing his own lawn.
A final commenter expressed surprise, writing, “I’m surprised they’re still in business tbh.” The video itself does not show any direct response from the company to the allegations made in the video or its comments. The company has not publicly commented on this specific video.
