Relocation Rogues
Relocation is a hectic time and many things have to be taken care of simultaneously. Unless one is extremely cautious, it is easy for the average man to be deceived by rogues and fraudulent ‘moving companies’. The following are a few guidelines to help one do just that – avoid the rogue trap.
One’s suspicions must be raised when the mover works from a virtual environment rather than in person. To explain, when the estimate for objects is given over the phone or email, without physically taking stock of the goods, one must be alert. Usually, such companies give a very low estimate. The price quoted is so low that it sounds too good to be true, and indeed it is so. The movers hold on to the goods until an extra fee is paid. This ransom will be ‘justified’ quoting some invalid and unknown reason. In a few stray cases, the situation has indeed become so bad that the house owner ended up paying thrice the initially agreed upon amount.
Some of the warning signals that one’s antennae should pick up are as follows; he would require an upfront cash payment or a milestone payment which would be quite a large sum of money. The movers do not have proper documentation – like the rights and responsibilities of the mover and the customer. This document is to be provided by all interstate movers according to Federal Regulations, but is not provided by the rogue movers.
A great way to check them up with today’s technical advancements would be to search for them over the internet. One would find that most often than not, these movers do not have a proper website or they have one that is poorly maintained and does not provide information about their local addresses, phone numbers, contact personnel and no information about their license or insurance. These topics will not be mentioned on their official documents as such. To cover this lapse , the movers may claim that all things are taken care of through the general insurance provided by the company itself. It would be a great rip off as they are not mentioned on the website too.
