MOVING SCAM GUIDE & SAFETY TIPS

Unfortunately, moving scams are common – especially in college towns like Williamsburg during peak season. Here’s how to protect yourself:

Red Flags to Avoid:

  • Companies asking for large deposits or full payment upfront (legitimate movers collect payment after the move)
  • Quotes given without seeing your items or asking detailed questions
  • No physical address or local phone number
  • Unlicensed or uninsured movers
  • Prices that seem “too good to be true” compared to other estimates

How to Verify Tidal Town Moving is Legitimate:

  • Virginia DMV License #705 (verify at dmv.virginia.gov)
  • State Corporation Commission License #11306836
  • BBB A+ Accredited since 2022 (check at bbb.org)
  • Physical office: 600 N Witchduck Rd Suite 106, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
  • Over 1,000 verified Google reviews (4.9 stars)
  • Direct phone: (757) 716-9286

Protect Yourself:

  • Always get written estimates, not just verbal quotes
  • Verify the company’s licensing and insurance
  • Read online reviews from multiple sources (Google, Facebook, BBB)
  • Never pay the full amount before your move is complete
  • Take photos of valuable items before the move
  • Review the bill of lading carefully before signing

For William & Mary Students and Parents: Be especially cautious during move-in season. Scammers often target college families who are unfamiliar with the area and need last-minute help. Always verify the moving company is licensed in Virginia and has verifiable local reviews.
