What are the scams that pay property fees by mistake?

Fraudulent behaviors of wrongly paying property fees include false property companies, repeated invoicing, false charges, and difficulty in refunding.

1. Fake property management company: A swindler pretends to be a staff member of a property management company and asks for money or prepays the property management fee for the next year. In fact, the property management company does not exist at all, and it cannot be refunded after payment. It is necessary to carefully check the information of the property management company and the identity of the staff.

2. Repeated billing: The property management company will repeatedly issue two payment notices in the same period, and the owners will pay the fees twice without careful verification, and it is difficult to recover the paid fees. After receiving the notice, the owner should carefully check the term and amount to prevent repeated payment.

3. False charges: The property company will add some fictitious charges to the payment notice. If the owner does not understand the regulations, it is easy to be misled. Owners should understand the charging standards of various property fees to prevent arbitrary charges.

4. Increase service fees in disguise: Property management companies will increase service fees in various names in addition to property management fees, resulting in a substantial increase in total costs. This kind of behavior is suspected of violating the rules, and the owners should understand the local property fee collection regulations to prevent the disguised increase in fees.

5. Refund is difficult: there is a problem with the property management company's charges. After the owner applied for a refund, the other party refused or delayed the refund for various reasons, causing losses to the owner. Owners should ensure that there are no problems before paying large fees, refund the fees in time when problems are found, and resolutely safeguard their rights.
