Renting a house and adding WeChat are mostly scams.
Compared with direct telephone contact, WeChat may be much more convenient. Some landlords may be inconvenient to answer the phone during working hours, so they will leave a WeChat number to contact the tenant in writing, but most landlords will indicate the time when the phone can be contacted when leaving a WeChat number. If you only leave the WeChat number and can't contact the phone number, this situation is mostly false rental information.
Xiao Wang, who has been searching for rental information on major websites recently, found on the Internet that some houses are luxuriously decorated with beautiful pictures, but the rent is very low. There will be such a hint in the description of the house: the phone is inconvenient, please contact WeChat to rent a house. Xiao Wang called the landlord, either the foreign number was not answered or the number did not exist. In desperation, Xiao Wang had to add the micro-signal contact information of the "landlord", but without exception, they were all told that the house had been rented out. In this way, not only is it a waste of time, Xiao Wang has never found a suitable house, but also added a bunch of WeChat friends who advertise every day. Since the house has been rented out, why is the information still posted on the website? Why can't the phone be connected, but I left a micro signal? Xiao Wang is really puzzling. What's the catch?
Bian Xiao inquired on major rental websites and found that this situation is not a case. Some people who posted rental information claimed to be local ruffians, and said that they only rented the house to women for cleaning, and the men were not disturbed. Then the photos of the house were clean and tidy, and the furniture was complete, and the price was relatively low. Some rental information requires interested renters to add their own WeChat contact information and attach micro-signals for reasons such as busy work, business trip in other places and poor cell phone signal. Bian Xiao added a number of such micro-signals in the name of renters, and they were all told that the house had been rented out. They opened their circle of friends and found that they were basically advertisements selling various masks and slimming products.
According to industry insiders, renting a house and adding WeChat are mostly scams. "The house is only rented to women, and the phone is disconnected or empty. You need to contact WeChat. If the above three items are met, it can basically be judged as false rental information. " An industry insider who has been a real estate agent for many years said that this method is not to directly cheat money, but to achieve the business purpose behind it by attracting your attention to micro-signals. "This is actually a relatively new commercial marketing method using WeChat. By publishing false rental information to defraud attention, increase the number of friends and finally achieve profitability. " According to insiders, there are two main ways for these people to cheat attention, one is to sell products, and the other is to sell advertisements. "Weibo WeChat marketing is all about the more friends, the greater the sales opportunities. Similarly, the more friends you advertise, the greater the impact and the higher the profit. "
How to identify renting a house plus WeChat scam
1. Houses with high decoration, luxurious pictures and low prices, especially those with one bedroom, one living room and WeChat, are all fake houses. No exceptions!
2. Look at the description: the house is only rented to women, people are in other places, and the phone is not convenient to connect. It is all false information.
3. Look at the content published by its WeChat circle of friends: If its circle of friends is full of advertising information, it is obvious that renting a house and adding WeChat is also to defraud attention.
4. look at the reply: if the house has been rented out, it is a scam to introduce products to you.
5, call to verify: the phone is not in town or the number is empty, basically false information.
