How to Spot Fake Packers and Movers

Moving scams often look the same: a very low quote, a demand for a large cash advance, then goods held back until you pay more. These checks help you avoid them, whichever company you hire.

Five checks

How to tell an honest mover from a fraud

Run through these before you book any packers and movers.

  1. 01

    Research the company

    Read customer reviews, check how long the company has been in business and look it up in public records before you book.

  2. 02

    Verify registrations and insurance

    Ask for the company's registration, GST number and insurance details, and confirm them yourself.

  3. 03

    Get everything in writing

    Ask for a written quote and agreement that lists the price, the services included and any other important details.

  4. 04

    Be careful with advance payments

    Avoid paying a large amount upfront or in cash. Use a payment method you can trace, so you are protected if something goes wrong.

  5. 05

    Trust your instincts

    If something feels wrong, or a price looks too good to be true, look for a different moving company.
