The staff gave advice to consumers on the spot, and taught them "knowledge of buying a house that can't be ignored", and taught them how to find all kinds of tricks in renting and buying a house through key information such as house prices, pictures and taxes.
College students were cheated out of 60 thousand yuan to rent a facade
Last May, Xiao Peng, who just graduated from college, discussed opening a tea shop with his classmates. When he posted his idea of starting a business on the website, the staff of a business consulting agency named DreamWorks in Jiangbei immediately called him and said that there was a facade for rent in wanda plaza, Nanping, which was very suitable for him to open a milk tea shop. The address is wanda plaza 1 next to the door of McDonald's dessert shop. Seeing that the facade is located in such a core area, Xiao Peng was naturally satisfied and immediately paid the intermediary company "Intention Money" 1 000 yuan.
Subsequently, Xiao Peng was introduced by an intermediary company. Without knowing the background of the building, he signed a lease contract with Luo, who claimed to be the owner of the facade, and paid 66,000 yuan in cash, including the first quarter rent. According to the contract, the lessor is wanda plaza and the lessor is Luo, and it is agreed that Luo will deliver the facade on June 13 last year.
However, on June 13, Xiao Peng found that McDonald's staff were still working here. He called Luo and found that the other party had lost contact. The staff of Wanda Commercial Management Department said that the tenant of this facade has always been McDonald's, and Wanda's facade will not be subletted at all. Xiao Peng realized that he had been cheated, and the agency refused to refund.
Online false housing has become the "hardest hit"
Xiao Peng's experience is not a case. 58. The same city had previously released the 20 16 report on Internet black production in the field of life services in China, which proved that Chongqing citizens had suffered a lot.
According to the report, among the cities reported by Top 10, Chongqing accounts for 2%. Judging from the real estate business report of the 58-city online newspaper platform, the per capita fraud amount is 2560 yuan. The related reports of house leasing account for 97% of the total, which is the "hardest hit" with active black production. The usual trick of unscrupulous merchants is to fabricate false houses, and then ask the victims to pay the deposit and rent in advance on the grounds of not being in the local area, inconvenient health, and disputes over renting houses at home. Many renters are often cheated by carelessness.
According to the data of another real estate portal, 67.9% of the respondents said that they had "encountered fake housing when looking for a house or renting a house online", 56. 1% of the respondents said that they "didn't fully trust online housing information" and only 7.2% said that they "believed online housing information".
Last year, the Municipal Consumer Council accepted 289 complaints about housing and building materials, with a year-on-year increase of 30.3%, making it the second largest category of complaints after the growth rate of complaints about automobiles and food, including many false houses.
You didn't discuss the fake listing information set.
Why is the newly released listing information rented out in the blink of an eye? Is the house too easy to rent and sell?
An industry insider who did not want to be named revealed that more than 50% of the second-hand housing information on some classified websites has problems, and many of them are false housing information. The reason why these classified websites do this is to attract more customers with good houses, "set" these customers to the store, and then take the opportunity to recommend other houses to gradually find out the details of customers.
"Many classified websites actually only provide platforms and have not fulfilled the corresponding supervision and audit procedures, which provides space for false online listing information." According to sources.

Four measures to see through false housing information
In the face of complicated online listing information, how can consumers avoid being deceived? The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Consumer Council said that there will be no pies in the sky, and consumers can actually find hidden tricks from these housing information.
A
House prices are much lower than the average price in the same region.
For example, the average price of the surrounding houses is 8,000 yuan, but this set has no obvious defects and only 6,000 yuan, which is obviously not "scientific".
B
Does the viewing platform promise false housing compensation?
For example, it is very important for the platform to supervise the authenticity of the house. If you report fake houses to the platform, will you reward the whistleblower?
C
The picture doesn't match the listing information.
For example, the apartment shows a 60-square-meter two-bedroom apartment. The picture shows that the living room area is too large and the bedroom area is too small.
D
Housing introduction lacks key information such as taxes and fees.
For example, there are many taxes involved in commercial and residential dual-use houses, but they are mentioned in the room review or introduction.
According to industry insiders, if the description of listing information is too professional, or the style of indoor pictures is inconsistent, and the patterns, orientations and words are inconsistent, most of them are false listings. At the same time, when renting and selling houses, it is best to choose those with labels such as "real housing" and "certified housing" on the website; When looking at the house, ask the other party to show their identity documents and real estate licenses to check whether the information is consistent; Don't pay any fees before registering the key. In addition, if you feel that there is any problem with the authenticity of the house in the process of choosing a house, you can report it to the website.
