task. Due to this, the industry has seen a boost in recent years. However, many fraud moving companies have also sprung up with the sole motive of duping the ignorant customers. Here is how to avoid getting duped by these fraud companies. Reasons for Rise in Fraud Moving Companies  The customer is not aware of his or her rights, roles and responsibilities while relocating.  The need to relocate frequently has increased over the years and the customers find it cumbersome to research for a moving company before hiring.  The psychology of customers to automatically choose the company which is providing the minimum cost.


 The packers and movers industry is still highly unorganized in India.  The ease of setting up an office for providing home relocation services. Different Moving Frauds  Taking hostage of customer’s belonging until he or she agrees to pay a large amount of money.  Home shifting companies asking for upfront payment and then not showing up at the time of relocation.  Tricking customer’s to believe that they are from some reputed packers and movers company in Bangalore and later duping them.  Quoting attractive price in the beginning to lure the customers and later on asking for


more payment before delivery as hidden charges.
