⚠️ Beware of Online Frauds in Packers and Movers
Relocating your home or office is a big decision—and trusting the wrong moving company can turn it into a nightmare. With the rise in digital scams, many fake packers and movers are targeting unsuspecting customers online using unrealistic promises and low prices. Stay alert and choose your moving partner wisely.
Here’s how to detect fraudulent companies and ensure a safe, secure, and professional moving experience.
✅ 1. Verify Legal Documents
A genuine moving company will always have proper registration and licenses. Before hiring any packers and movers, ask for:
GST Registration Certificate
Company Incorporation Certificate
Shop & Establishment License
PAN Card
IBA Approval (if applicable)
📌 Avoid dealing with any company that refuses to provide these documents.
✅ 2. Visit Their Office
A professional and trustworthy company will have a physical office. Visiting the office helps confirm that the business is real and gives insight into how they operate.
➡️ A physical location builds trust and eliminates doubts about legitimacy.
✅ 3. Check the Company Website
A company’s website can reveal a lot. Look for these signs of authenticity:
Clear business information
Professional layout and grammar
Transparent contact details
Service pages with local presence
Real photos of their team or vehicles
⚠️ Fake websites often contain copied content, fake addresses, and poor design.
✅ 4. Read Customer Reviews
Customer feedback is one of the best ways to evaluate a company. Check:
✔ Be cautious if reviews are too perfect or look copied. Look for reviews with real names, locations, and experiences.
✅ 5. Avoid Unrealistically Low Prices
If a company is offering pricing that seems “too good to be true,” it probably is. Common scams include:
Demanding advance payment and disappearing
Adding hidden charges after pickup
Delaying delivery or damaging goods
💡 Always get multiple quotes, compare services, and choose based on value—not just price.
🔐 Tips to Stay Protected
Don’t pay the full amount in advance
Sign a proper written agreement
Keep receipts and proof of communication
Avoid dealing only on calls or WhatsApp
Use verified UPI IDs or bank transfers
Choose Safety, Choose Smart
Relocation is stressful enough—don’t let a fraud ruin your peace of mind. Always verify your moving partner and select professionals who are transparent, experienced, and accountable.
