Farmers' friends go to cities to work, and they don't earn much. Coupled with the high housing prices, they really can't afford it, so they can only rent a house. However, in the process of buying and renting a house, many people fall into the trap carefully set by criminals.
Deception case
Xiao Wang came out from his hometown in the countryside with his wife and children, found some jobs in big cities, and soon found a job as a scaffolder on the construction site with the help of fellow villagers. However, the accommodation conditions on the construction site are relatively simple. Xiao Wang is afraid that his wife and children will be wronged and decides to rent a house outside near the construction site. Xiao Wang, a stranger, saw a rental message on a telephone pole near the construction site, so he called, and an elder sister named Chen answered the phone. On the phone, Xiao Wang said that he saw the advertisement and wanted to see the house, so he made an appointment to see the house. Sister Chen led Xiao Wang to a bungalow not far from the construction site, claiming that this house is her own, and she works in the urban area and has a house. This house is waiting for relocation and has been rented out. Just a while ago, a family, also from Xiao Wang's construction site, vacated the house without renting it. Xiao Wang looks at the house in a good environment, with a single house and convenient transportation, and can save a lot of agency fees. He gave three months' savings to Sister Chen without hesitation.
Xiao Wang, who found a suitable house, went back to the construction site and moved a lot, but never thought that the key in his hand could not be opened, so Xiao Wang called Sister Chen, but the phone was turned off.
Xiao Wang didn't think much, thinking that Chen Jie's mobile phone might be dead, he found a locksmith to open the door and live in. After living for less than a week, suddenly a young man came to the house and asked them why they were at home. Xiao Wang said that he rented the house. But the young man showed him the relevant documents and said that the house had never been rented, but it was entrusted to others to look after it.
Later, the young man called the police. After the police came, he thought that Xiao Wang had been cheated of money, which constituted burglary. The young man saw that the Wangs were also victims, and there was no loss at home. The two sides reached an understanding.
Temptation analysis
The reason for the success of this scam:
1. Publicize that the house has a good location and is economical; As you are a stranger, be hospitable.
Case warning:
When renting a house, try to choose a formal intermediary agency. When renting a house, it is necessary to verify the relevant documents of the owner and the house, and clearly express the rights and interests of both parties when signing the contract. Don't cause greater losses in order to save some expenses.
