10 Warning Signs of a Fake Mover
- Demands 50–100% advance before moving day (we take 0% advance)
- No physical office address — only a mobile number and a free website
- No GST invoice or bilty offered — everything is "cash only"
- Quote far below market — then doubles the price on moving day
- Refuses a written quote — "trust me, madam/sir" instead of paperwork
- No company branding on truck, uniforms or documents
- Fake reviews — dozens of 5-star reviews posted within days
- Copies a famous brand name with a small spelling change
- No insurance option at all
- Pressures you to decide "today only"
