NMB Verification
Serious concerns

Multiple high-severity issues found across our verification sources. We recommend against booking this mover until resolved.

See the checklist below for what we verified.

What we checked

2 caution2 failed
  • Federally licensed (FMCSA)
    FMCSA shows authority as "NOT AUTHORIZED." This mover is not currently authorized to operate as a federal carrier.
  • Authorized to move household goods
    HHG authority status not yet captured.
  • Insurance currently on file
    Insurance status not yet captured.
  • Reviews are consistent across sources
    Star ratings vary by 3.7 stars across BBB, Yelp, Google, and Trustpilot — worth reading the actual reviews before deciding.
  • Listed city matches federal records
    This business advertises as based in Los Angeles, but federal and state regulatory records list its physical address in San Jose.
  • Operates under a single brand name
    Website markets the company under 3 different city-specific brand names (Saratoga Movers, Burbank Movers, Castro movers). This is sometimes a multi-brand SEO strategy.

Numbers in the "they claim" column come directly from the company's own website. Numbers in the "we verified" column come from government filings (FMCSA), BBB, or counted across public review sites. Large gaps between the two are a strong signal that you should verify in person before booking.

Ownership & identity

People named as running this business

  • Owner
    Owner
    BBB business profile

Names sourced from the official state business registry, BBB business management section, and archived versions of the company's "About" page. Government filings are the strongest signal; archived pages may be outdated.

Marketing brand names on this company's website

These brand names appear on the company's own website (typically on city-specific landing pages like "Burbank Movers" or "Saratoga Movers"). They are marketing names, not legally-filed DBAs. A long list of city-specific brand names from one website is sometimes a sign of a multi-brand SEO strategy.

Each phone number / address / email is shown with the sources that listed it. A contact channel confirmed by multiple sources (BBB + FMCSA + Yelp) is a stronger signal than one that only appears on the company's own website. Multiple different phone numbers or addresses across sources may be normal for multi-location movers, but the discrepancies are worth a look.

Detailed findings

The full output of each automated check NMB runs against every published profile. The checklist above summarizes these.

Address legitimacy

4 serious concerns
  • Address includes a suite/unit/# marker — could be a real commercial unit or a mailbox cluster; warrants confirmation.
    Minor concern
  • Open-web address verification flagged the address as residential / apartment.
    Significant concern
  • Different sources report 3 distinct physical addresses for this candidate — identity or location risk.
    Significant concern
  • This business advertises as based in Los Angeles, but federal and state regulatory records list its physical address in San Jose.
    Significant concern
Last checked May 18, 2026

Carrier vs. broker disclosure

5 serious concerns
  • Website claims carrier operation, but FMCSA authority status is "NOT AUTHORIZED".
    Serious concern
  • Website claims interstate moving, but FMCSA carrier operation is "Intrastate Only (Non-HM)".
    Serious concern
  • Candidate advertises household-goods/moving services, but FMCSA shows the carrier is not authorized for HHG.
    Significant concern
  • Website claims carrier operation across 24 services, but FMCSA reports only 1 power unit — sales-only-shop signal.
    Moderate concern
  • FMCSA insurance status: "Pending insurance cancellation may apply" — risk of imminent or actual loss of coverage.
    Significant concern
Last checked May 15, 2026

Review authenticity

7 serious concerns
  • 5+ trustpilot reviews within 7 days (2024-09-24 → 2024-09-24) — possible astroturf burst.
    Significant concern
  • 5 of 5 trustpilot reviews captured on 2024-09-24 (100% of source corpus on a single day).
    Significant concern
  • trustpilot reviewer corpus collapsed to 1 distinct reviewer name across 5 reviews — likely extraction artifact or sock-puppet pattern; warrants human review.
    Moderate concern
  • bbb reviewer corpus collapsed to 1 distinct reviewer name across 9 reviews — likely extraction artifact or sock-puppet pattern; warrants human review.
    Significant concern
  • 10 pairs of trustpilot reviews share ≥60% word overlap across 5 reviews — possible templated content.
    Moderate concern
  • 32 pairs of bbb reviews share ≥60% word overlap across 9 reviews — possible templated content.
    Moderate concern
  • 4 positive reviews captured after the latest captured complaint (2023-07-15); possible reputation-recovery campaign.
    Minor concern
Last checked May 15, 2026

How current is this report?

Last refreshed May 17, 2026. First published May 17, 2026. This report pulls from 1094 pieces of information across federal, state, review, and identity sources, and is re-checked on a regular cadence. Every claim above links back to its original source.

NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source — not that the answer is good or bad.
