•    Can offer you far too low prices for the same services
People often say , ‘'it is too good to be true''. When a company is offering too low prices, you should expect the services to be poor. Have in mind that , fake moving companies use extremely low prices to attract their customers. Make sure to compare companies based on prices , to see which one best fit your needs. However, don't always look for low prices.

•    Cannot tell you how they estimate the tariff
You can recognize a fake company , if they cannot tell you how they estimate the tariffs. You should know that companies use different ways of estimating their prices - some will charge on the basis of the weight of your belongings , while others on the basis of distance. If the company cannot tell you their way of estimate, you cannot trust it with your belongings.

•    Have somehow offensive behavior toward their customers
This is another sign  to understand that the company is a fake one. Usually , a good company has its specific way of behavior with customers and rude behavior is unacceptable. If you a company representative is behaving in a rude and unusual manner, there is no need for you to investigate it further, you can move on to another company. People say , that employees are the company's mirror. In other words, you can judge the company, based on its employees' behavior. You should also know , that fake companies have unprofessional and rude employees and this is how you will recognize them.

•    Don't allow the customers to see the weight of their belongings:
This is the last thing you should note about the company. If the company is hiding any information about the weight of your belongings , you cannot trust them. You should always be allowed to see how there are waiting your belongings, since this is not a secret information.
