The only rule of avoiding scam: If any unknown ask for money before providing any service then simply say NO. Its a SCAM.
This is exactly the same thing that happened to me. I was looking for a rental in Bangalore in June'23 on magicbricks. I connected with 2 acammers, both posed as owners working in some government offices at very high positions. Both asked to pay Rs.500 as visiting charges. But I felt something was fishy because no society charges just to see a flat for rental. Hence, I didn't proceed with them and blocked their numbers.
One guy tried this with me, asked 2000 rs deposit for flat visit. Paisa chodo usko itni innovative galiyaan sunai zindagi bhar nahi bhoolega! 😂
All real estate agent on portal show very good pictures, but when we call they say it is sold out and then go some worst bad property
Bro, it is simply a marketing technique to get some leads. Similar strategies applied by swiggy, zomato, and other online apps, which says 70% off, 60% off, but ultimately, if you buy even for 1000 rupees, you max off will be 50 - 100 rupees only. But no one questions that
😂😂😂 ha chutiyapa
Yes.. magicbricks in no.1 in this. Will show unrealistic property at unrealistic price.. and then they will ask you to pay for subscription to get the number of the owner... And after we take the subscription and call that property owner it turns out fake..
And that way ur subscription fees gets wasted..
Always prefer 99acre as they are much ethical compare to magicbricks or nobroker
Resell Market is different and Fresh market is different 😅
I too came across this while searching flat in gurgaon, but thanks to 99 acres I didnt fall to this. They already show this alert on their app.
This type of advance was asked a few months ago when i was looking to rent an apartment. I refused to pay and told him come to the location and i will pay you 3000 to see the flat. He hung up 😂 this was in Hyderabad Hi tech city area. Thank you for enlightening us
Same modus operandi. This happened to one of my colleagues, too. She paid 2000 bucks to see the property upfront. Pretty sure this is the same group of scammers operating in Delhi NCR.
Didi 2000 bucks, 160000 ho gaya 😂😂😂, bahot cool dude ban gayi didi 😂😂
Add to that, there is no receipt for the brokerage. House owners dont give receipt for rent paid either, and deduct hefty amounts in the name of painting, repair etc. despite staying for only few months, and a paltry sum is refunded from the advance paid. I have also heard that brokersge is charged again if you wish to extend your stay on the rented property.
Thanks for bringing this up, we have been cheated same way by paying advance for maid services. Raised complaint at consumer court,etc portals but no use. Root of all this is just dial
Sir, same happened with me in Hyderabad too, but I was able to realize that the agents were scamsters as the mentioned property didn't even exist on the pinned location as per Google maps.
Complaint karo police mein. Jurm ko sehna bhi jurm hai.
I think there is need of insurance product for these rental property sites . So that if fraud happend to the registered user claim can be paid to the user .
New- Scam-- - A person posing as an army officer contacts the owner, expresses interest in the property, and asks to pre-pay the deposit or advance without even seeing the property first. They say there is process in army you need to add army bank account number in phone by then request for payment. but they make you pay money form your account to them by manipulating payment mothod
Exact thing has happened to us too. We had listed our property online for rent. Some one calls us saying he's from CISF. He sends Adhar Card and PAN when we asked which was clear that it was edited. Later he continues with same PhonePe request tactic to pay the advance not even looking at the property. We cut the call by threatening them of police complaint.
I got saved being scammed by this process too since I insisted deposit to be made by issuance of a cheque or a bankers' cheque
In Pune 4-5 website this problem
They are priority advertiser and cheaters
In my case No Broker said that you have chosen house from their side so shifting Movers and packer services charged on discount, they charged less Rs 10,000/_ compaired to others. I booked transfer Rs5000/_in advance .They done but with low grade unexperienced person and then increased amount to Rs 5000 on final by informed me truck/ van is not available, i stuck by giving advance Rs5000.
At last after reminder / complaint they had not given Invoice or receipt. Which is urgent for me to claim form my office.
I lost to claim whole money.
Thanks for sharing such modus operandi. It ia an eye opener for property searchers.
I have come across one such experience where they were asking for a fee for Entry but I did not paid any single penny.
It happened in Hyderabad , similar to scenario 1, Though i didn't pay
Same happened with me in Noida from 99 acres site. But I didn't pay any money 😎
Hahahah i encountered same sort of advertisement when I was looking for a property. Initially I was excited and later i realised its good to be true and i said nahhhh.
Yes. This is true. Same thing happened with me in Mumbai. But I refused him
This happens everywhere.. Even grocery stores. You Ask for something they don't have n they'll say it just got over or sold out
Thanks for sharing.
Exactly the same thing happened with me and my friend also 8 months back in Hyderabad.
Luckily we were at the property location and called him.
And other 4 short listed was also similar.
It's such a clear and Intentional cheating, why can't police catch them I don't understand.
Thank you for the alert.
Superb!
Rcvd similar complaints from Mum and Pune also.
Tu for alerting citizens.
wasnt aware, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the alert.
Very good information..
Hello Sir. I am Indian army soldier who has been cheated by jms builder in Gurgaon. I purchased plot in primeland with written confirmation that first transfer will be free. At time of sale they refused to honour commitment and charged high transfer fee. Can you please cover this story as well against such fraud builder
Achhi information. Thanks a lot 😊
This channel deservers more views
Quality content
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot for sharing this!! I have had a very similar experience recently while looking for a property in Gurugram. The first person's voice seems to be almost identical too. I'm well aware of these scams and didn't share any details/money with them. But I did report this to 99acres. I hope no one gets scammed and these scammers get caught soon. Your video is very informative for people who might not be well aware of such scammers 👌👌
Thanks for sharing your experience
Very nice, good informative video. Thanks.
Very useful video
nice information thank you
Thanks for informative Video
Similar happened while I was searching PG/Hostel in Pune, I got doubtful and did not move ahead.
Nice informative video. There is one more problem. When you try to buy a flat and share your mobile no, it is spread and shared with all the property dealers and all will call you and you will be mad.
There is one more scam. Please make a video on it. This scam is regarding Matrimony.
All property portals are scam.
Kisi chiz k liye paisa nh dena chahiye
Chahe wo job search kr rhe ho
Ya ghar search kr rhe ho
Ya fr koi v chiz ho jisme pehle Paisa maang rha ha before getting that product wo fake hi hota ha.
Note: Agar koi brand ha then advance payment kar skte ho
VERY GOOD INITIATIVE ,KUDOS !!
Thanks for sharing
Great sir
Thanks for sharing such usable info on a public platform.. thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video 📹.
So basically if scammer put realistic price and if there is indeed 1 bhk available we are doomed
Thank you, Rohan, for sharing the insight. Very helpful!
Glad you found content helpful.
Thankyou dear
Very much interesting Great info n details provided. Thanks
thanks!!!
Thankyou for this information
This happened with me when I was looking fir a rented flat for my daughter. I did pay 2000 to the scamsters, for issuing a visitor card from the society. The complex was supposed to be a very posh one so I believed and paid.
But it didn't end there, they asked fir another 2500 for some other stupid booking fee. It was sounding fishy so I declined. I then checked up if there was actually such property available.
This is where we want to fund a house sitting on our Butts, and they take advantage of that.
Also the photos they show on the website look like an interior designer has designed the flat
i was asked 3000 rupees in the same way
Its just not about the property but schools in Bangalore also started this and that too openly!
Some of the schools are now asking for school visiting charges when you want to go and visit the school for your child's admission.
Really it is a new alert
Thank You For Perfact Information
Happening in Noida also guys. I came across two of them on Housing App
Thanks for the video bruhh
How slowly you speak each and every word audioble no back music keep it up
I had listened first time this type of scam , thanks
99 Acre site more frauds happening and i personally seen in Cyber crime cell in Hyderabad
good video... expose these filthy scums, brokers......... buy only ready to buy , move only apartments like mine... etc in central delhi etc. buy only ready to move apartments.
I got scammed for Rs 14k in the same way in Pune
It's really an eye opener
Omg Thank you sir sharing this video...... Kyu ki same things hamara sath kal hone wale the..... (Humse unhone bola visit card karne keliye 2000 pay kijiye...) Maine Abhi tak pay nahin kiya .....this video dekhne ka bad pata chala Scam ke bare me🙆
I lost big amount with this one and DLF Oakwood was the mentioned society and 99 acres..
Quite informative. Thanx dear.
I didn't send any details.. for me, I found their ad for DLF Pinnacle on 99acres. Seems they have listed on multiple societies.
The gatepass wala issue also happend with one of my friends.
Very common in Hyderabad.
Precise n accurate content / your hard work in preparation is evident. Suggestions to make few videos on- Faridabad good projects to invest/ residential/commercial. Impact of delhi Mumbai expressway on Faridabad/ncr n adjacent properties if any. Interior work and genuine costing/ best amenities society in delhi ncr - also pl make a video on Vrindavan property sudden hype
Thank you for your kind words and topic suggestions, will surely cover these topics.
One guy tried this with me. He showed a plot and I liked it and froze the deal. Later I got to know that asking price is higher than the market rate. I didn't get into any agreement or anything of that sort. I made another offer that is closer to the market rate which obviously owner declined. I pulled out of the deal and owner didn't care much. The agent who showed me the plot started bugging me to give Rs. 2000 for nothing. I tried making him understand but he wouldn't budge. Finally I asked his address so I can send him legal notice for illegally demanding money from me. He stopped pestering me.. Be your own protector and never leave your guard down when you're in Indian real estate market
Can we go to police will they post as a customer and arrest him for cheating
Sir make video on buying independent house in south delhi
Bhai same Pune me bhi ho rha hai... this is very common now.
Same thing happens to me while searching for flat for rent in noida, but I denied paying beforehand.
I was asked to pay 2k which I denied
There is a arora real estate agent in preet vihar who charges 1000 rs for showing flats and 1 month brokerage. Full on unprofessional behaviour of doing business
Boycott such brokers and they will stop such practices.
Hi , I recently had this experience today for Bangalore location. Is there any way we can connect ? I found only your video on this .
how can we know owner/broker is genuine I mean they would have some ID card like that?
Learning plus knowledge
Banglore mai kafi pahle se chal rha hai
Same is happening on no broker and in noida
Sunday same happened with ne for pg he ask me 500 rs and told me security guard ko paynt recipet dikhao gye tabhi entry millegi..thnk God saved 500 as he sent me scanner on my whtsapp plz beawear
This happened with me as well recently in Pune.
It happened with me in Pune as well.
Same case happened with me while searching for a PG in Karol Bagh Delhi 😂
Its happening in noida, Gaziabad amd magic brick
Same happened with me while searching flat in Hyderabad. But mai smjh gyi..😂
Pyaari samajh gayi..... 😂
The same incident happened in Bangalore.
Why are police and govt not taking action as this fraud ruins lives of those who cannot afford such loss😢
File complaints action will be taken, 500 rupees and 2000 rupees nobody file complaints, that is individual problem
People don't understand more than 10 people are cheated every hour for same property
Just imagine these cheaters are earning from innocent buyers
I also get scammed 😢😢 more than 10k 😢😢😢 i logged a complaint in cyber crime..kitni bewkoof thi main...
Hyderabad me bhe hai. No broker and Housing as well.
Its happening mostly on magicbricks now
How do i get the money back. Please let me know.
Thank you so much for sharing. Lost 2L of my friend.
I also came across same situation with same amount in pune.
Same done in Pune
Faced this already while searching flats in Hyderabad
Same incident but from packers & movers site..
Sir, thank you for making aware of these scams. In Bangalore, almost 600 people in 2006-8 period cheated by Griha Kalyan. Can u make a video on that. And in Bangalore, there is a 3rd party who takes pre booking money for any flats and people do invest . Do u think its a good option?
Excellent information and appreciate the effort on this content..
Glad it was helpful!
This scam is quite common now a days
Awesome Inc
