How to avoid falling victim to a moving scam

It may not feel like it right now (especially in northern states), but the spring and summer seasons are just around the corner, which means the busy moving season isn’t far away! 

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has been moving customers forward for over 40 years, and over 10 million customers have trusted our franchise teams to get them to their new home since 1985. We’re geared up and ready for another successful moving season in 2026, and we want to help YOU get ready, too! 

Regardless of whether  you hire TWO MEN AND A TRUCK to help with your move this year or go an alternative route, there are a few things to look out for to ensure you’re getting a quality moving experience. Ideally, we’d live in a perfect world where every business operation was trustworthy and legitimate, but that isn’t always the case – especially in the moving industry. 

Bad actors and scam companies are lurking around every corner, and they don’t have the best interests of customers in mind. There are plenty of ways to avoid these moving scams, from digging through online reviews to checking out a company’s website, their social media activity, and finding out if they are licensed and insured. 

In the video below, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK President Randy Shacka highlights a few ways customers can prevent themselves from becoming a victim to a moving scam and touches on a few key areas to look at when hiring movers. 

Enjoy!
