No information about the company

• If your preferred moving companys website
  doesnt have essential information, like
  registration number, local address, and
  insurance, its a red flag. Skip this option and
  keep your search on.
• No mention of the companys name
• Another thing you need to look for is whether
  your potential movers answer calls using the
  companys name or generic terms like moving
  company. Please remember, the name is an
  identity of any business or company and if
  theyre hiding it, theres something fishy.

Offers estimate without an on-site visit

• Most reputed moving companies will first visit
  their clients location to inspect things to be
  moved. And depending on the number and size of
  households, they will offer an estimate. But if
  your mover gives you a quote without an on-site
  inspection, there may be something fishy.

5
Large deposits

• Well, most home moving companies ask for payments
  once they deliver the belongings to its
  destination. But if your movers require you to
  pay large deposits or full payment before
  starting the process, it may be a scam. Be wary
  about your next move!
• Signing a blank or incomplete form
• It is advisable to read the contract and other
  documents before signing them. But if your mover
  asks you to sign any blank form by saying that
  they will fill it later, you should never do it.
