What rental scams have you seen?

? As a graduating college student, the problem of renting a house is green and I have to face it. Because I am located in Henan, there are many ways to be blindsided. Therefore, I am relatively experienced.

? Rental scam 1: black intermediary

? Zhengzhou 2 1 century real estate company, there are many scams, and there is always a plan that suits you. Zhengzhou, especially the one on the civil aviation road, began to talk to you about prices, furniture, and early pricing, and promised you everything. He said that they are working with a housing trust company, and they will help you win a lot. Don't believe it, especially a trust called "Zhengzhou Dahuasheng". They all made a deduction, and nothing you ask is a big question. I lied to you about paying the deposit first and then waiting for you to sign the contract. Bad attitude. You said you wouldn't rent it and asked him to refund the deposit, but they refused to give it, saying they had already booked a room for you. They are very popular. You put it off again and again, and you didn't refund a penny. Then the intermediary took the money from Zhengzhou Dahuasheng and blamed it on them. The trust company shirked that the money was given to the intermediary, but they didn't receive it. In the end, there was nothing the police could do. You're like a ball. Pay up and get kicked.

? Rental scam 2: false information on the listing website.

? During the period of renting, many publishing houses were added. One publisher's WeChat business is WeChat business, which makes men's wear, and immediately sent a lot of promotional information. I asked about the housing, and the other party said it had been rented out, and then I started selling men's clothes. It was annoying. Similar houses are only rented to women, and there is no phone or the phone can't get through. You need to contact WeChat. If the above three items are met, it can basically be judged as false information. Although it is not a direct scam, it attracts you to pay attention to the micro-signal through fake housing to achieve the business purpose behind it.

Then there is a serious discrepancy between the real scene and the picture. When you see the right price and good indoor environment, remember not to believe that good luck will find you. Generally, when I arrive at the scene, I can't believe my eyes. There are hundreds of years old dangerous houses, mountain roads that are difficult to walk, and noisy and stinking environments near the vegetable market, each of which can make you want to go home in minutes. Housing websites can't provide real and effective information for renters. It's really flattering to just blindly increase the number of houses and increase popularity.

? Rental scam 3: defrauding the deposit.

? Recently, I was eager to rent a house. I searched for housing on the Internet and saw a set of housing information with good location, convenient transportation and relatively affordable price. The landlord rented it directly. The landlord said that he hoped to find a tenant who cared about the house, but since he was out of town, he was worried about making a trip in vain, so he asked me to pay the rent for half a month first to show his sincerity. At the same time, the landlord also sent photos of ID card and real estate license, so I relaxed my vigilance and paid the rent of half a month 1500. When signing the contract, the landlord said that his family was hospitalized and could not return to Guangzhou, so he offered to either refund the rent to me or call the landlord for three months, and the landlord would send the contract, keys and access cards by courier. Subsequently, the author felt that something was wrong and asked for a refund of half a month's rent. The landlord said yes. After a long time, I still didn't receive the money, and then I called the landlord to turn it off before I really realized that I was cheated.
