Beware of American curve house purchase immigration scam

Immigration to the United States, then buying a house in the United States has become inevitable, but before buying a house, you should understand the deep water of the American property market! Let's analyze the immigration scam of the American curve in the immigration network. Let's see what this is all about.

It is reported that 13 people want to invest in real estate "curve immigration" in American overseas territories, and after paying the agency fee, they find that the American "green card" is still far away. Recently, Zou Mou, a middle-aged woman, was sentenced to "illegal business operation" for operating immigration intermediary business without a license.

Defendant Zou Mou, 44 years old, has a university degree. According to the allegations, from June 2008 to August 2009, Zou rented an office in a building in Tianhe Road, Tianhe District under the pseudonym "Zou Ming" without obtaining the business license of an intermediary agency for private entry and exit, claiming that he could apply for a "green card" (permanent residency) in the United States through investment immigration.

Zou calls himself Saipan, which is the overseas territory of the United States "Northern Malaysia Federation" (the Northern Mariana Islands Federation belongs to an autonomous prefecture of the United States, with Saipan as its capital and the largest island in the archipelago).

Deputy representative of government economy and tourism, personal assistant of economic and tourism ambassador of "North Malaysia Federation", etc. It is announced that the US government will take back the federal autonomy management right on June 1 2009. At that time, all legal investors can stay to live and do business, and are eligible to apply for the US "green card".

Through Zou, 13, the deceived people each invested USD 654.38+million in Asia Garden, a real and legal apartment project in North Malaysia Union, and gave it directly to the project owner. Zou charges a lot of agency fees and license fees.

13 The deceived person obtained the right of abode in Saipan (commonly known as "White Card") of "North Malaysia Federation" after paying the money. However, while waiting for the "curve immigration" to be realized by changing the "white card" to the "American green card", the victim found that in September 2009, the Federal Gazette of the US government confirmed that after the withdrawal of the "North Malaysia Federation", the "white card" became invalid immediately, and all "white card" holders had to change to "E 2" visas (that is, investor visas). According to the visa regulations, the holder must stay in the territory of "North Malaysia" for more than 180 days every year. To obtain the "green card" in the United States, he still needs to apply according to the general procedures.

Therefore, becoming an American resident is still far away. After the incident, 13 of the deceived people found the owner of the "Asian Garden" project and demanded to return their respective investment of $65,438+10,000. After negotiation, the owner of the "Asian Garden" project agreed to refund the investment of 90,000 US dollars each, including 45,000 US dollars for the victims first, and then $0.250 per month/kloc-0 and February 20/kloc-0.

201015 Defendant Zou was arrested and brought to justice. The court finally found that the amount collected through illegal business operation was 6.5438+0.2 million yuan. The first instance found him guilty of illegal business operation and sentenced him to one year and nine months in prison.

This case is also the first case of illegally operating investment immigration intermediary services in Tianhe District.

The prosecutor handling the case reminded that citizens should choose qualified intermediaries when handling entry and exit business such as investment immigration and study abroad to avoid damage to their rights and interests.

Police tips:

Online lending lacks supervision.

In recent years, with the constant standardization and strictness of bank loans, the difficulty of lending to banks has increased year by year, and many people will turn to abnormal channels for financing. Criminals usually set almost no threshold for loan review under the banner of "big companies" and "national business", claiming that loans are fast, unsecured and unsecured. Under normal circumstances, scammers only leave mobile phone numbers, Q Q numbers and other information, and will not leave landline and address; Liars cheat money by transferring money in advance to pay security deposit, handling fee and interest. Once the borrower pays, this convenience will disappear without a trace.

The police reminded the general public that online loans are at high risk of default and fraud. At the same time, because there is no corresponding supervision, it is difficult to prevent risks, so personal loans should be carefully used online.
