Behind Shenzhen's internet famous real estate projects

Acquaintance "House Fraud" Bureau!

Purchase pies internally? House buying trap!

In 2021, Mr. Yang showed great interest in a popular real estate project located in the core area of Shenzhen, with the support of a high-quality school district and high appreciation potential. However, due to limited housing resources and fierce competition, he had to squat and wait for the lottery to secure a place to buy a house.

At this moment, Mr. Yang's good friend - Wei Ge appeared, claiming that he had internal connections and could purchase a house without the need for a lottery. This is undoubtedly a "timely delivery", so Mr. Yang gradually transferred a total of more than 10 million yuan to Wei Ge as part of the purchase price for three properties.

On the day the property opened, all the properties were sold out, but a few days later, there was still no news from Wei Ge's side.

The subscription form has been signed, and the nightmare begins

Has Mr. Yang secured the purchase quota? Mr. Yang, who was extremely anxious, finally received a subscription letter stamped with the seal of the real estate company after multiple reminders. After signing the subscription agreement, I thought my hanging heart could be let go. Who would have thought that Mr. Yang's nightmare had just begun

The subscription agreement has been signed, but Wei Ge continues to make transfer requests. According to Mr. Yang, the party involved, Wei Ge is "always very urgent" when asking for money, "asking for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.".

Based on his trust in his friends, coupled with his eagerness to purchase a house, and considering that the transfer amount is still within a reasonable range compared to the down payment and house price, Mr. Yang had to continue to transfer according to Wei Ge's request.

After learning the truth, it was too late to refund the money

In the past six months, Mr. Yang silently calculated that the accumulated amount of money was enough to pay the down payment for three properties, but Wei Ge still had the intention to continue the transfer.

Mr. Yang became alert and took the subscription book to the real estate sales office for verification. The salesperson's response shocked him: the official seal on the subscription book was fake!

Mr. Yang, who learned the truth, immediately requested a refund from Brother Wei, but unfortunately it was too late. The money had already been used by Brother Wei to repay his personal debt. Despite multiple reminders for refunds, Wei Ge remained "motionless". Mr. Yang's accumulated transfer of more than 17 million yuan and his dream of three properties have gone bankrupt.

Sentence the defendant to thirteen years in prison

According to the investigation conducted by the prosecutor's office, this Wei Ge is the CEO of an advertising company. In order to "showcase his strength" and establish his reputation, Wei Ge often claims to the public that he can use his connections to obtain "bamboo shoots" of Shenzhen real estate. In May 2020, Wei Ge owed a huge amount of debt and was unable to repay it. He began to use his long established persona to target people in the surrounding area who were in need of buying houses. He first defrauded a subordinate of the company of 650000 yuan for the purchase of a house, and then kept delaying repayment for various reasons. After tasting the sweetness, Wei Ge then carried out similar scams against Mr. Yang.

After examination, the People's Procuratorate of Futian District, Shenzhen City believes that the defendant Wei Ge violated national laws by fraudulently obtaining property from others with the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount involved was particularly huge. His behavior has constituted the crime of fraud and should be punished according to law.

The first instance court, taking into account the defendant's criminal nature, circumstances, confession attitude, and social harm, sentenced him to thirteen years in prison and fined him RMB 150000, ordering him to return the victim's losses.

According to the prosecutor, this case is a typical "homicide" type of fraud. From the defense of Wei Ge and his defense, it is shown that he attempted to embellish his scam with a dispute over the purchase commission relationship, which seems to be carefully planned. However, the key to establishing this "scam" is the trust between acquaintances. Once the victim realizes that there is something different, fabricated facts, witness testimony, financial statements, and other ironclad evidence will make the criminal's lies vulnerable.

"There are dozens of properties in Nanshan, Shenzhen that can be renamed..."

Many people have been deceived when buying a house!

In recent years

Many homebuyers have fallen into such a scam

Criminals Seize the Psychology of Homebuyers

As "acquaintances" and "friends"

Claiming to be able to obtain the room number through "internal connections"

Using this to commit fraud

Wait until the homebuyer responds

The house and wealth have long been empty

As early as 2021, the Shenzhen People's Procuratorate also reported similar cases.

The man deceived the buyer into paying a deposit to buy a house

According to reports, at that time, the defendant Guo confidently stated to the public, "I have a relationship with the developer. In a certain residential area in Nanshan Houhai, I reserved dozens of first-hand houses of various sizes. The developer agreed to change the name and ownership of each house according to the first-hand method, with a price of around 10 million yuan. Whoever wants me to transfer, I can charge a deposit of 200000 yuan for 89 square meters, 500000 yuan for 220 square meters, and 1 million yuan for 260 square meters."

Afterwards, the defendant Guo reached an agreement with intermediaries Afei, Mr. Wu, and Mr. Chen, and paid commissions to the three individuals. At the same time, he signed a booking agreement with the clients introduced by the three individuals.

But as the contract was about to expire, Guo delayed in fulfilling the agreement, and many customers stopped, demanding a refund of the deposit. At this moment, everyone realized that Guo had a problem and immediately went to the developer for verification. The sales director of the community said, "Our company has never entrusted him to act as an agent for the sale of the property in the community, and he has never purchased our property. Our company has not cooperated with any units or individuals in terms of sales..."

After investigation, the matter quickly came to light. It turned out that Guo was unable to repay a high interest loan due to business failure. He just wants to make some money through the real estate industry. Originally, he was thinking of using relationships to acquire houses and then selling them to these customers to earn a price difference. If you can't get a house, first pay off the high interest loan, then demolish the east wall to pay the west wall, dragging these customers to pay off slowly. However, I couldn't get the house at all, and there were too many debts to keep going. In the second half of 2018, Guo ran away directly!

Sentence the defendant to 11 years imprisonment

In October 2019, Guo was arrested in Puning City, Guangdong Province. After investigation, after deducting the funds that Guo had already returned before the incident, the amount of losses suffered by each victim reached over 29.43 million yuan. In addition, Guo defrauded 240000 yuan by helping others transfer jobs.

After examination, it is believed that Guo's behavior of fabricating facts and deceiving others for the purpose of illegal possession, with a particularly large amount of money, has violated the Criminal Law. After the Shenzhen People's Procuratorate prosecuted Guo on suspicion of fraud, in 2021, the court sentenced him to 11 years in prison and fined him 500000 yuan for the crime of fraud in the first instance. At the same time, Guo was ordered to refund the losses of each victim.

Be careful! "Internal listings" must not be trusted lightly

Nowadays, buying a house is a major concern for many households, but some residents have insufficient understanding of the process of choosing a house. When faced with gimmicks such as "internal house buying" and "internal low prices," they are inevitably tempted, which can easily give illegal elements an opportunity to take advantage of.

Various illegal elements falsely claim to have "high-quality internal housing resources" and "discounted internal housing prices"; There are even scammers who specifically target acquaintances such as "old classmates" and use the trust of homebuyers and their unfamiliarity with the purchasing process to deceive them. Homebuyers should always keep an eye out for such situations!

At the same time, as the real estate market continues to mature, criminals may set up more covert home buying scams based on new situations. We hope everyone can be vigilant and beware of home buying scams.

Real estate transactions often cost millions of yuan

Once a homebuyer is deceived

Will inevitably cause huge economic losses and psychological harm!
