You found a mover online. Their website looked professional. The quote was surprisingly low. You paid an advance. And then your belongings were locked in a truck 600 kilometres away, and the "company" was demanding ₹15,000 more before they'd deliver a single carton. In 2025 alone, 12,847 complaints were filed with India's National Consumer Helpline against packers and movers – and that number only counts the people who knew where to complain. The actual scale of fraud is far larger. At ShiftEazy, we've spent 6+ years verifying over 1,120 transporters across India. We've seen every trick in the book. This article is our attempt to make sure you never fall for any of them.
