Do Moving Scams Really Happen?

YES! Moving scams are a real thing, and do happen when you least expect it. During my travels around the country, educating partners of our services, the topic of moving scams always comes up and many cannot believe that it actually happens. There are horror stories of families hiring a moving company, the company shows up, loads their belongings and then POOF! they disappear and are never seen again. Another popular scam happens when the mover gives you one quote when surveying your household goods, you sign the contract and then the day of moving they tell you that the move with actually be 2 or 3 times more than estimated. If you do not pay the movers up front they will hold your goods "hostage" until you pay. Many believe that these scams erupted with the the brilliance of thieves pretending to be licensed movers. If you are moving, don't worry, there are ways to avoid this from happening to you. Consumers Relocation contracts licensed and reputable movers that we have been working with for several years. We make sure that the movers and packers that are loading your things are reliable, trustworthy and honest.
