Avoid Fake packers and movers visible online

You are looking for packers and movers, and suddenly you find this website. The writing is beautiful, the pictures are colorful and everything looks and feels promising. Above all, it seems to be convenient as well. To make things better, they also have the option of online transaction, which would make things comfortable for you, as you are already busy with work. After you get in touch with the company over the phone, they talk in very fluent English and tell you about their service and ask for a certain amount as advance after fixing a specific time to send a representative to your place. Once you have paid the amount and they give you a particular confirmation regarding the same, you wait for the appointed day for the process to begin. On the appointed day they do not show up, you call them up, and the line is either switched off, not reachable or invalid number. You wait for a day, and it suddenly dawns on you that the company or farm cheated you.

The above incident is not a made up story. It has happened to quite a good number of customers, seeking shifting services. At times they take companies with big names and reputation, they may have a fake website which seems legitimate. There will even be a very convincing conman at the other end of the line. They may use multiple sim cards which they deactivate after taking the advance which is a vast amount claiming that it is for the transport, security and other reasons. Tracing these numbers and catching the culprits would be a task. Some of these fraudsters even go as far as making fake documents as well. Having a website does not prove the legitimacy of the company and whatever pops into your screen when you type for shifting services on the search engine may not be trustworthy. The fake company may also enroll their names to directories which offer services as well; hence this is also not a legitimate, reliable source. They may also provide their company listings and contact details as well.

 So what do you do? How will you be sure that you are talking to the real representative of a company you wish to seek the services of? Always cross-examine and be careful of the companies you pick. Try to visit the company address provided and ensure that there is a firmly established communication with the company representative before any monetary transaction takes place. Enquire about the different projects which they have undertaken before maybe a few contacts if possible. Try contacting the company or party which these companies have offered service to and inquire thoroughly about the same. Check the legitimacy of the documents they provide which they offer when making the advance payment as well.

The solution listed above seem time-consuming, but this is the only way, you can keep your hard earned money safe and ensure that you do not waste your time and efforts after you have become the victim of the fraudulence. Please do take care and think twice. Happy shifting!
