It is reported that the tenant Mr. Zhang saw a listing information on a trading platform with a rent that was significantly lower than the surrounding market price, and immediately contacted the publisher via private message.
The other party provided Mr. Zhang with the house address and door password on the grounds that he was out of town and could not take him to see the house, and asked him to see the house on his own.
After Mr. Zhang arrived at the scene, he found that the house was clean and tidy, the location was suitable, and the door password was correct, so he let down his guard.

According to Tang’s account, he came to Hangzhou to find a job but failed. During the process of renting a house, he discovered that the agent would enter the door password in person when showing the house, so he pretended to look at the house, T AGPH36 When the agent was unprepared, he secretly memorized the door password and recorded the video of the property, and then pretended to be the landlord to post low-priced properties online. He defrauded the tenants of deposits by forging property certificates and inducing private transfers. The amount involved was about 7,000 yuan.
The police issued a clear reminder for tenants to rent When buying a house, be sure to transact through a formal platform and refuse to transfer money privately outside the platform; be sure to check the original landlord's ID card and real estate certificate, verify that the identity card is consistent, and remain highly vigilant about houses with significantly lower market prices.
