How to avoid moving scams this summer

  • In 2024, the Better Business Bureau received over 100,000 inquiries about moving companies amid rising scam reports.
  • This spike resulted from common scams like movers taking deposits without appearing and demanding large last-minute fees.
  • Other warning signs include movers operating with rental vehicles, declining to offer on-site estimates, and requiring complete payment before services begin, especially during the peak moving season in summer.
  • People affected by these scams lost a median of $754, and authorities advise reporting incidents to the FMCSA and Better Business Bureau.
  • The BBB's warnings and registration requirements for interstate moves imply increased vigilance is necessary to avoid these costly scams.
