The announcement comes as moving scams are expected to hit a 35% year-over-year increase by end of 2023. With common scams ranging from no-shows to more complex fictitious change-of-address fees, finding reliable movers is essential, explains Movers.com.
One of the most important things to look out for when considering a mover is their online profile, recommends the new guide. Reviews and testimonials will give an indication of the mover’s reliability - but too many 5-star reviews posted within a short period of time may be a potential red-flag.
Over-the-phone quotes can also be a sign of an unscrupulous company. “The best way to get estimates is in-person,” explains the guide. “Simply put, an in-home estimate is when the moving company comes to your home to assess your belongings and give you the most accurate estimate possible. Be wary of moving companies that insist on phone estimates only. It's helpful to familiarize yourself with the moving estimate process before you begin this step, as well as with the different types of estimates that you will typically receive from moving companies.”
Finally, the report recommends verifying the mover’s credentials and running a thorough background check to make sure they are fully licensed and insured. Companies whose owners have owned other moving businesses in the past may indicate a rebranding following a history of scams, so homeowners are advised against working with new companies or those that have had their names changed.
