How to Detect Fraud Packers and Movers
Relocation is a stressful process, and falling into the trap of fraud packers and movers can make it worse. Here are some useful tips from Dev Packers and Movers to help you identify and avoid scams.
- 🚫 No Company Registration: Genuine movers will have a valid GST number, license, and office address. Fraudsters often avoid giving proper details.
- 🚫 Unrealistically Low Prices: Be cautious if a company offers very cheap rates compared to the market. They may add hidden charges later.
- 🚫 No Written Agreement: Fake movers avoid giving receipts, quotations, or proper paperwork. Always demand a written contract.
- 🚫 No Insurance Coverage: Professional movers provide transit insurance. If they refuse or avoid it, it’s a red flag.
- 🚫 Unprofessional Communication: Watch out for vague promises, no customer support, or unverified phone numbers.
- 🚫 No Online Presence: Authentic packers and movers have a website, reviews, and Google listing. Fraud ones usually don’t.
- 🚫 Advance Payment Scam: Be cautious if they demand full payment before the move. A small booking advance is normal, but never pay 100% upfront.
- 🚫 Fake Reviews & References: Check reviews on trusted sites. Don’t rely only on testimonials shown on their own website.
✅ Pro Tip: Always verify the mover’s registration details, visit their office, read customer reviews, and choose a trusted company like Dev Packers and Movers for a safe and stress-free relocation.
