Today, I’ll show you a case study.

Let’s go into detail on the scam process

by the Chinese scammer brother.

.

As mentioned in the previous article,

in our real estate industry these days,

there are Chinese people from who knows where

#usually not using their real face in their profile picture

contacting to buy houses/condos

without mentioning much about house details

or price.

(Have they even figured out where the house they want to buy is?)

.

But they claim they have studied the location thoroughly,

want to buy without negotiating even a single baht,

and give the reason that

houses priced at 20–40 million baht (or 5–8 million yuan)

are considered cheap in China,

so there’s no need to waste time negotiating.

.

Not only that, they send clips or rapid-fire transfer screenshots

to make agents or owners’ eyes sparkle.

.

After seeing the clips,

greed starts to take over those who see it.

Reasoning starts to fade.

.

During that time, they will send passport ID

along with a company certificate

to reinforce clarity

#but whether it’s really theirs or not is unknown

plus explaining their business

to further increase credibility.

.

While our saliva is flowing,

it enters the scammer process.

They will talk about transferring money,

claiming that the Chinese government strictly controls overseas transfers

(which is true).

.

They will ask us to help find ways to transfer money into Thailand

so they can buy a house here,

accepting all possible fees at any rate.

(Whoa… so generous, so “sport.”)

.

#They never mention transferring ownership under our system at all.

.

So if someone still has some sense left,

they might test them first,

asking what their plan is for property ownership,

and how much they know about property rights.

.

Just listen.

If they don’t know the process

and try to divert the topic elsewhere,

you can stop half the conversation right there.

.

But if they try to explain,

we don’t need to reveal the correct information.

Otherwise, they will use it

as data to scam others.

.

According to standard practices for money exchange businesses,

there are strict rules and procedures.

If transferring large sums

or for new customers,

you must follow our procedures only.

Play my rule only, not your rule.

.

This allows us to check easily

and prevent account freezes

if anything abnormal happens.

.

These scammers will delay and refuse to transfer as we specify.

During that time,

they will bring in a “dummy” person,

claiming to be an accountant, finance officer, or secretary,

to join the chat with us

to further increase credibility.

.

But they still hesitate and refuse to transfer,

claiming they fear we’ll scam them.

.

This is a psychological trick to create sympathy,

making intermediaries/agents

rush and pressure the money exchanger

#which is very annoying for money exchangers.

.

Of course, money exchangers

will not send documents or confirmations at all,

because they might use them to scam others later.

.

And suddenly, they might transfer money unexpectedly,

possibly in the evening

or on weekends,

knowing

that checking money will take longer.

.

When they transfer,

they will urge the agents

to rush the money exchanger to transfer money back to their client

within 1–2 hours.

.

Which, outside of business hours,

is impossible.

Even if possible… we won’t do it.

.

In this industry,

no one exchanges money

for strangers that quickly.

We must hold the money for 1–3 days

to verify actual incoming funds.

.

Just showing a slip

is not enough.

The money must really arrive,

only then is it considered complete.

.

In the system, when it shows that money has been transferred in,

they will start pressing, pushing, urging

to quickly transfer money back to them,

otherwise, they’ll file a police report or freeze our account.

.

If someone inexperienced,

they might quickly pay out of pocket

just because they didn’t intend to scam anyone.

.

#This is exactly where we lose money to scammer gangs.

.

The scammer’s transfer

is like hacking the banking app system

to show a notification that money has been credited

to the recipient’s account.

.

But the next day,

the Chinese bank

will call the account owner

saying no money was actually transferred.

.

Normally, people

would be furious

asking where the money went.

But they will remain calm,

unlike when they first pretended to just transfer money.

.

If at this point they threaten to file a police report,

dare them to do it!

In the end, they won’t dare.

Because they know very well

what they’re doing.

.

But if the agent or intermediary

thinks the money exchanger

is cheating your “lovely client,”

please bring your client to meet us.

#We will shine the light on the truth like a spotlight.

.

This is the scammer system from China

which is spreading as badly as call center gangs

and now in the form of real estate purchases in Thailand.

.

Agents or owners

who are excited about a big deal,

read and calm down first.

Before wasting your time

and losing money for nothing.
