"Hello, have you rented out your house? I want to rent it. " Xiao Li, a graduate student of Nanjing Normal University, suddenly received such a phone call some time ago. At first, she thought someone had dialed the wrong number, but after a day, Xiao Li had to change her mind. "I get dozens of calls a day asking about renting information, but I don't have a house at all."
Indeed, Xiao Li, who is still in graduate school, is a foreigner and has no house at all in Nanjing. But the caller's description sounds like a model Through description, Xiao Li found this rental information on a website. According to the data, Xiao Li has a one-bedroom high-rise hardcover apartment in Ninghai Road, Gulou District, with an area of 46 square meters, facing south and complete household appliances. The rent is only in 850 yuan every month. As far as the reporter knows, the current rental price of the same type of housing in the same lot is at least 1600 yuan/square meter. In order to make the half-price information look more real, the publisher also explained that because I had something to go abroad, my new house was idle and I was eager to rent it, which depressed the price. This also persuaded a large number of renters. A few days later, Xiao Li realized that it was because he was dissatisfied with the seller's service attitude after online shopping that he gave a "medium evaluation", but he didn't want to be retaliated by the seller.
The reporter made a simple investigation on this matter and found that it is very easy to publish rental information online, and many websites will not verify the identity of the publisher. "Now many websites without physical stores have opened up sections for publishing rental information. However, there have been omissions in the supervision process. "
Shan Wei, who is in charge of the second-hand housing and rental information business of 365 Real Estate Home Network, told reporters that in general, their staff will call the publisher of the housing information to verify whether the user of the contact number knows it and avoid similar retaliation. If a mobile phone number publishes too much useless information and is reported, it will be deprived of the right to publish information again.
Shan Wei also said, "In fact, such an audit is not troublesome. Just make a phone call. However, the staff of many websites often ignore the importance of this link and are used by unscrupulous sellers. "
