  1. 1

    The lowball quote that grows

    Quote €100, charge €400 at the door. Always demand a fixed written quote on WhatsApp.

  2. 2

    The deposit-then-disappear

    Never pay more than 20% deposit, and only via traceable methods.

  3. 3

    The 'hostage furniture'

    Some movers refuse to unload until you pay 'extra'. Use only insured registered companies.

  4. 4

    The fake insurance claim

    If they claim insurance, ask for the certificate before booking.

  5. 5

    The cash-only red flag

    Pros take bank transfer or card. Cash-only often means no VAT, no records, no recourse.

  6. 6

    The phantom company

    Search the HE number on the Cyprus registrar. No registration = no recourse.
