I want to share my story with you. My husband got a new assignment and we had to move to a new city and we hired a moving company. We found them online and they offered a very low price, which seemed very attractive to us. However, when they arrived to load our stuff, they immediately started demanding more money, claiming that the volume of stuff was more than we had indicated on the form. We were forced to pay more than we expected, and when our shipment arrived at our new home, we found that several items were damaged. That's the kind of experience we had. For the future, I want to know what steps to take to avoid moving scams and how to choose a reliable moving company?

Hello! Indeed, choosing an unreliable company can lead to fraud and damage or loss of your belongings. In order to avoid such situations, I recommend the following: 1) do more research and choose a company with a good reputation and testimonials from other clients; 2) carefully review the terms of the contract and ask questions if there are any ambiguities; 3) do not agree to non-transparent payment terms or to prepay for services. If you do become a victim of fraud, you should contact law enforcement and find out what legal action can be taken. In any case, the best approach is to avoid fraud in advance and choose a reliable company for transportation, so you can avoid trouble and move all your things safely. Don't forget: avoid moving scams!
