Immigrants should be alert to these scams.

Now that you are preparing for immigration, have you considered all kinds of materials? But put the materials in your hand, I want to share many cases with you, hoping to help you. In immigration agencies and even immigration agencies, you will see such slogans, such as 660,000 yuan to immigrate to Germany. If you don't immigrate to buy a house, it will be difficult to meet such opportunities in the future.

However, is buying a house directly related to immigration? What's the difference between "right of abode" and "permanent right of abode"? How credible is the hype of the intermediary? What are the expenses besides the house price when buying a house? After buying a house, can property tax and maintenance be affordable?

Buying a house overseas looks beautiful, but it also hides too many traps.

The scam that shocked newspapers in various countries, China Overseas Chinese Network, March 8 th

According to the US "World Journal" report, American investment immigrants have set off a wave of China people's participation in recent years. Investors who are eager to get a green card have become a huge withdrawal vault for fraudsters, but they are unaware of it.

On September 4th, 20 15, a China man surnamed Li wired $500,000 from China to the Pacific Original Treatment Center.

LLC), as an investment immigration fee. However, 18 months have passed, and the man surnamed Li who went to study in the United States with a student visa last year has never received any notice of the progress or processing of his application. He asked the California agent many times, and the other party prevaricated on the grounds of "no problem."

On the 6th, a man surnamed Li inquired through a lawyer that the EB-5 regional center was accused of fraud by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as early as last June, and was frozen by the California federal court, and asked to explain the whereabouts of the funds.

Kevin Wendorf, a lawyer who helped to inquire about the whole case, said on the 7th that after preliminary investigation, CharlesC C. Liu, the head of California Proton Therapy Center, and his wife had been arrested.

As early as June 2 last year, Liu He was prosecuted by the Securities and Futures Commission for fraud.

According to the prosecution documents, in this investment case, * * * more than 50 China investors joined, and about $27 million was remitted to the accounts of Charlie Liu, his wife and relatives. However, one and a half years after Charlie Liu and others received the investment funds, not only did the project not start at all, but Charlie Liu also remitted the investment funds to other accounts one after another, of which 1 1 ten thousand dollars was remitted to the marketing company under Charlie Liu's name, and another 7 million dollars was remitted to his couple's personal account.

Beware of the bluff of the intermediary.

For many China investors, the "closest" partner in buying a house overseas is the local real estate agent. But not every intermediary is a true friend.

China people should try their best to know the public information when buying a house overseas, while some intermediaries easily take advantage of the unfamiliar characteristics of China people to falsely exaggerate the housing environment, geographical location and return on investment.

20 10 Mr and Mrs Zhang, who immigrated from China, bought a house in Sydney. The real estate agent told them that the place where they want to buy a house is close to Victoria Park, which will become "Sydney's next downtown area" and they can get "5% rental return every year".

The agent also promised that the real estate market in Sydney will continue to be hot, and the value of dating will double every seven years. Therefore, "the property they bought will definitely appreciate in two years."

The two signed the contract under the bluff of the real estate agent, and paid a house price deposit of110 Australian dollars (about 1 17000 US dollars).

But the reality is that Sydney real estate has not entered the "warm spring" because of their purchase. After 20 1 1 year, house prices in Sydney began to fall.

The Zhang couple found that their investment failed and took the real estate agent to court. In the end, the Supreme Court of Australia ruled that Mr. Zhang's contract with the real estate agent was invalid. Because the intermediary faked, the beautiful "prospects" they promised were all false. However, the judge also pointed out that Mr. and Mrs. Zhang have "naive beliefs" about Sydney real estate-they must be clear that it is normal for Sydney real estate to be depressed.

Fortunately, many investors finally bought properties they didn't like under the deception of the intermediary, but the contract has been signed and the money has been paid, and it is too late to regret it.

Experts remind China people who are going to buy a house in Australia that no matter which country they buy a house in, they should do their homework in advance and know the surrounding price of the house, which is public information in Australia.
