Red Flags for Spotting Rogue Movers
Rogue movers typically work like this: without ever visiting your home or seeing the goods you want moved, they give a low-ball estimate over the phone or internet. Once your goods are loaded on the truck, they demand more money before they will deliver or unload them. They hold your goods hostage and force you to pay more- sometimes much more than you had thought you agreed to.
Your best defense is to recognize a rogue mover before thay have your goods.
Here are some red flags to look for:
• The mover does not offer or agree to an on-site inspection of your household goods and gives an estimate over the phone or internet- sight unseen. These estimates often sound to good to be true. They usually are.
• The moving company demands cash or a large deposit before the move
• The company has no local address and no information about their licensing or insurance
• When you call the mover, the telephone is answered with a generic “Movers” or “Moving company” rather than the company’s name.
