Moving scams in Bangalore typically involve a suspiciously low quote, a demand for a large advance, and then inflated charges or held goods on delivery. Fraudsters often use fake names, addresses, photos and reviews.
How to Verify a Genuine Mover
- Confirm GST and Udyam registration (ours: GSTIN 29AHNPP8781F2ZI, Udyam UDYAM-KR-03-0141894)
- Check for a real, verifiable office address
- Read genuine reviews on Google, JustDial and Facebook
- Insist on a written quotation and a proper GST invoice
- Never pay a large advance to an unverified company
How a Genuine Quotation Should Work
A legitimate mover surveys your actual items (in person, on video call, or from a detailed list) before quoting — not a one-line price over the phone with no questions asked. The quotation should be in writing (WhatsApp or email), itemise what is included (packing materials, labour, vehicle, insurance), and state a fixed price that does not change on moving day unless the actual volume or access genuinely differs from what was declared. If a "final" price is suddenly renegotiated once your goods are already loaded, that is the single biggest warning sign of a scam.
Payment Safety
Pay only a reasonable advance to confirm a booking — never the full amount upfront, and never in cash to an individual with no company receipt. A genuine advance payment should always be acknowledged with a receipt bearing the company's name, GSTIN and a serial number, not just a verbal promise. Be cautious of movers who insist only on UPI to a personal name (rather than a business account) or who pressure you to pay the full balance before unloading is complete.
