What did you learn from the decoration fraud?

Several recent telecom fraud cases have touched the nerves of countless people. A prospective college student in Shandong was cheated out of 9900 yuan to go to college by fraudulent phone calls. He was heartbroken and depressed, which eventually led to cardiac arrest. Although he was rescued by the hospital, he died unfortunately. Now that the suspect has been arrested, this is the last comfort. From this, I thought that there are also many fake places in the decoration, and I accidentally got on the thief boat. Let's learn some lessons from three cases.

Case 1: the decoration is not finished, and the wallet is skinny.

Mr. Zhao, who lives in Haizhu District of Guangzhou, described his decoration experience as "walking on thin ice".

"There are traps everywhere in the whole renovation process." 1.5 million yuan wardrobe, the decoration company will charge a rebate of 2,000 yuan, and the owner's decoration project is often subcontracted by the decoration company, and the owner becomes "Tang monk meat". However, in renovation contract, we deliberately conceal the use of the main materials, attract owners to sign contracts at low prices, and then add the main materials layer by layer during the construction process. The project with a cost of 60,000 yuan was finally completed with 90,000 yuan, with an overrun of 50%. However, the "high-grade" wardrobe plate marked in the contract is 1880 yuan, but the final use is ordinary furniture plate with a value of only 1200 yuan.

According to the project quotation provided by Mr. Zhao, including demolition, mud, water and electricity, carpentry, painting and main materials, the price of 75 square meters house decoration is 60 thousand yuan. Mr. Zhao is secretly happy. He visited four decoration companies successively. This decoration company is the cheapest, and other quotations are all at 70 thousand. This is just the beginning. Mr. Zhao was stunned by the ever-increasing items. Ceiling and ceiling, the quotation said to hang two floors, and the project manager told him that hanging two floors was out of place, and hanging three floors required an additional 3000 yuan for the ceiling and gypsum corner line. Before the construction was completed, Mr. Zhao added 14 project to the house decoration, and the decoration price increased from 60,000 yuan to 90,000 yuan.

Case 2: We agreed to go to the end together, but you ran away with the money.

65438+February, last year 18, many owners in Fu Shang Community, Gangcheng, Zhenjiang New District reported that the decoration company "Bonus Decoration" who provided them with decoration went to the empty building, and more than 600,000 prepaid decoration funds were cheated. At the same time, the decoration materials provided by several nearby suppliers were reported. "Wall and ground treatment, water and electricity are done, and the basic decoration is done. They told me that it was more reasonable to advance the main materials in the next stage, so I immediately paid 60 thousand yuan. " Wang Yonghe, the boss, said, "I am very satisfied with these preliminary work. Who thinks they are liars? "

According to the criminal suspect Zhu, he was cheated by tens of thousands of yuan for decorating others, and he couldn't find a liar to recover his property, so he came up with the same way to cheat money. After agreeing with the criminal suspect, Zhu handled a fake ID card and a fake business license through a small advertisement, and purchased the owner's information through the property. It didn't take much effort to succeed.

At present, in the decoration industry, there are many contracts signed between home improvement companies and owners, such as design contracts, foundation construction contracts, and main materials contracts. According to the different terms of the contract, some pay first, some pay later, and some pay part first, which basically has no real meaning of "decoration first and then payment". "The bulk of the decoration cost, that is, the project after the main materials enter the site, generally needs to collect all or most of the main materials in advance, leaving at most about 10% of the final payment, and then settle the account once the decoration is completed. This gives fraudsters an opportunity. " After the investigation, the police reminded the public that when choosing a home improvement company, it must be carefully screened.

Case 3 What can I trust you, my "acquaintance"

At the end of 20 13, Mr. Zou's son bought a house in Building 3 1 unit of a residential district in Changsha. Because his son was too busy, Mr. Zou took over all the renovation work in May 20 14. I want to decorate my new house and move in before New Year's Day. As a result, the decorator I was looking for took 20 thousand yuan in advance and disappeared

This is my son's first suite, ready to get married. Mr Zou, 63, made a special trip from Shaoyang to decorate his son. Looking for a decoration company is not at ease, so I invited the plumber and other related workers outside, and I always feel at ease when I look at it myself. However, there is a disadvantage in doing so, and the progress is too slow. Mr. Zou hopes to live in a new house at the end of the year, so he considers whether to find a decoration company.

At this time, my son introduced a decoration worker to Mr. Zou, calling him his son's classmate, thinking that acquaintances are always at ease. After seeing Mr. Zou's home, this acquaintance gave a decoration plan. He told Mr. Zou that if someone else installed the whole house, it would cost more than 65,438+10,000 yuan, and if he installed it, it would only cost 47,000 yuan. You don't have to bother yourself, but you can also save a lot of decoration expenses. Mr. Zou was quickly persuaded to hand over the new house to this acquaintance for decoration.

Then he signed a handwritten renovation contract, and the other party paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan on the grounds that he had to pay some fees in advance to pick up the goods. Mr. Zou paid the deposit twice. After the deposit was paid in full, acquaintances didn't come to decorate. A week later, when Mr. Zou called again to urge him, no one answered the phone and realized that he had been cheated. Zou Chunfang immediately reported the case.

Mr. Zou said that after being cheated, he found that Deng Xiaoming did not have a decoration company or a decoration team, just because he was careless and did not grasp this information in advance.
