Awareness is the first step action is the second. Whether you are an individual planning a move, an HR manager coordinating an employee transfer, or a corporate mobility team managing a global programme, here is everything you need to know to protect yourself and verify you are working with the real Interem Relocations.

Red flags warning signs of a fake Interem

Wrong website URL

Our only official website is www.interem-relocations.com. Any variation interem.in, interem-india.com, interemrelocations.net is not us.

Non-official email domains

Every Interem team member communicates from @interem-relocations.com only. Gmail, Yahoo, or slightly altered domains are red flags.

Upfront payment pressure

Fraudsters often demand large advance payments urgently. The real Interem follows transparent, documented payment processes.

Unusually low quotes

Prices far below market rates are bait. If a “relocation quote” seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is.

WhatsApp-only contact

Fraudsters prefer unverifiable channels. Interem operates through official, documented communication with proper proposals and contracts.

No verifiable credentials

Interem is FIDI, IAM, EURA, and LACMA, Omni, ISO affiliated. A provider that cannot show industry certifications should be questioned.

High-pressure urgency tactics

“Book now or lose the slot” is a manipulation tactic. Genuine relocation providers give you time to evaluate and verify.

No formal documentation

No written service agreement, no itemised quote, no official letterhead these absences signal an illegitimate operation.

How to verify you are dealing with the real Interem

Check the URL carefully. Type www.interem-relocations.com directly into your browser. Look for the HTTPS padlock. Do not click links shared via WhatsApp or social media DMs without verifying first.

Verify email addresses. Before sharing any document or making any payment, confirm that every email you have received ends with @interem-relocations.com.

Call our official numbers directly. Use only the numbers listed on www.interem-relocations.com or in this post. Do not trust numbers sent to you via chat or social media from an unfamiliar profile.

Ask for a formal written proposal. A legitimate relocation company will always provide a detailed service agreement on official letterhead before any money changes hands.

Look for industry affiliations. Interem is affiliated with FIDI, IAM, EURA, LACMA, and Omni. These memberships are independently verifiable on each organisation’s public website.

Use the official verification helpline. If you have any doubt about whether a person or company claiming to be Interem is genuine, call us directly details below.
