Let me tell you what types of monthly rent fraud there are.
Monthly rent fraud is one of the scams that robs people of their monthly rent deposit. It is a very vicious crime where perpetrators find out information about seized houses or vacant houses on the Internet, register them on a real estate direct transaction app, pretend to be the landlord of the house, sign a fake monthly rent contract, and take the deposit. This method has already been used across the country, including Incheon and Busan. It is said that there were 120 victims.
If you listen to the stories of victims of monthly rent fraud, they say that they did not suspect anything because they checked the monthly rental house as a direct sale from the landlord through a real estate app and the perpetrator came out and opened the door and introduced the room.
However, a month after moving in, an auction advertisement was posted on the house, and the real owner came to visit and said that the house had been sold for auction in July of last year.
It is said that monthly rent fraud, not jeonse fraud, is rampant in this way.
Let me tell you about another case of a victim of monthly rent deposit fraud.
This time, the victim is a victim of an officetel rental deposit scam, not a villa. Just like above, they say they put up a false rental listing and stole the deposit. The victim said he did not think he would be scammed because he thought the monthly rent deposit was not that large compared to the jeonse.
It is said that 120 people across the country, including Busan and Incheon, were scammed by the perpetrator, Mr. Cho, through similar methods. It is said that the suspect, Mr. Cho, will be sent to the prosecution on fraud charges. The victims are said to have suffered damages worth more than 3 million won in deposits.
If so, I will tell you what to do to avoid being scammed by monthly rent or jeonse scams.
It seems like this is the case and it would be a good idea to check more thoroughly than the ones mentioned above.
There seem to be a lot of really bad people in the world. I hope you all be careful of monthly rent scams.
