The light steel structure prefabricated house in the picture is not only high-end and stylish, but also earthquake-resistant and durable at a low cost. The other party claims that it only costs 200,000 yuan to move in. Lao Hu was moved and left his name and contact number online. It didn't take long for a staff member from Guangdong Yijingju New Materials Co., Ltd. to contact him and invite him to the company's headquarters in Foshan, Guangdong for an on-site visit. The company would bear the travel expenses, food and accommodation for viewing the house.
So, Lao Hu took a car to Nanhai, Foshan, Danzao factory. At that time, a sales manager named Chen warmly received him and took Lao Hu to visit the company's model room, production workshop and office building.

.298 million, join and enjoy low discounts
After the visit, both parties came to the office to discuss signing matters. Manager Chen calculated an account based on Lao Hu’s estimated building area. It would cost about 300,000 yuan to build such a light steel villa. However, since the company currently has no dealers in Hunan, Manager Chen suggested that Lao Hu could pay The franchise fee of 298,000 yuan is "joining". "Being a dealer will give me a 10% discount. I can use this money to buy products directly from the company at low prices, and they will help me build a model house. I was excited at the time." But because he didn't have enough funds, Lao Hu paid 50,000 yuan first. After paying a deposit of RMB 10,000 and signing a contract with the other party, he returned to his hometown in Hunan.
After that, Manager Chen kept calling Lao Hu to urge him to pay the final payment. Lao Hu borrowed money to collect 200,000 yuan and handed it over to the company. He also wrote an IOU of 48,000 yuan, and then he received an agency contract. Book. According to the company's requirements, after Lao Hu returned to his hometown, he demolished the original old house to facilitate the staff to measure the dimensions and design.

The routine is as deep as the sea, and the victims are involved in all places
In October 2019, the company shipped the goods. Just when Lao Hu was looking forward to his "small bungalow" rising from the ground, everything that happened later made him regret his previous decision. . After the building materials arrived, the "special person" the company originally claimed was responsible for building the house was nowhere to be seen. Hu called the company every day to remind the company, but the reply he received was that manpower was tight recently and he would wait a few days to arrange it. Seeing the days passing by, Lao Hu, who had no house to live in, had to hire a few workers to build a house. "After working for about a week, this villa cannot be repaired without skills." Lao Hu had no choice but to come to the company again to negotiate with the other party. At this time, a staff member in charge of after-sales said that if Lao Hu was not willing to do it, Agents can change the contract to direct sales house building, and the company can refund 20,000 yuan as compensation, but the construction price per square meter must be calculated based on the original price. "I asked for a refund of the original price, but the other party always refused. I thought that I would save myself a little loss and get back as much as I could, so I agreed to change the booking."
After returning to his hometown, Lao Hu, who knew he had been deceived, had to spend more than 30,000 yuan and hired several local workers to build the rough house. Until now, he has no money to continue the decoration.

Lao Hu is not the only one who is also caught in this "light steel villa" fraud scheme. Since July 2019, the Nanhai Branch of the Foshan Municipal Public Security Bureau has been receiving calls from Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, etc. The report was made by the land owner. The reporter learned from advertisements in various channels that the wholesale light steel villa materials could be sold through factory direct supply, customized franchise, etc. After on-site consultation, visit and paid franchise, they found that the goods were not correct and You cannot quit the franchise agency and get back the franchise fee.

A gang of hundreds of people, the police set up a fraud scheme
"This type of case appears to be an economic dispute, but after investigation, we found that there is fraud hidden behind it. Yu Bisen, a police officer handling the case from the Economic Investigation Brigade of the Nanhai Public Security Bureau, said that this type of "routine franchise" crimes have a common method, which is to set up contract traps to deceive customers. The "agent-to-direct sales" that Lao Hu suffered is one of these forms. Others are vague about the materials, construction period, etc. contained in the conditions or clauses of the franchise fee discounted goods in the dealer contract. When some smart customers question the cooperation terms, the company will have the confidence to negotiate with customers. Sign another supplementary contract that contains all the customer's requirements. However, there is a clause in the dealer contract: If there is a conflict between the terms of the supplementary contract and the terms of this contract, this contract shall prevail. This lays the groundwork for negating the supplementary contract in the future.
After a lot of research, analysis and investigation and evidence collection, the Nanhai Public Security Bureau gradually discovered a criminal gang with hundreds of people. The case was also listed as a hurricane "No. 154" Foshan franchise agency contract fraud series by the Provincial Public Security Department. . From May 11 to October 11, 2020, under the unified organization of the Provincial Public Security Department, the Nanhai Public Security Bureau worked with superior business departments to close the case and arrested a total of 75 suspects, including the boss behind the scenes. , freezing 114 accounts involving a total of 17.06 million yuan.
After interrogation, many suspects confessed the "routines" for carrying out this type of fraud. It turned out that Lao Hu was not deceived by accident, but was selected by this group of fraudsters. "Chosen Son". This company does not deceive locals, but focuses on placing online advertisements in Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places. The sales staff will talk to the victim first before viewing the house to understand the victim's background. Financial situation and family member information. Once the out-of-town victim signs a contract, there is no hope for a refund in terms of subsequent rights protection, plus the time and travel expenses, they often have to admit that they are unlucky and the case will not be settled.
At present, the case is not settled. 47 suspects are under criminal detention. Among them, 3 principals were arrested in accordance with the law on suspicion of contract fraud. This case is the first "routine franchise" fraud case in the country to enter the criminal arrest stage, and will be transferred to prosecution in the near future.
