Warning about brokers cheating people to deposit money to buy Kim Chung Social Housing Project - Dong Anh

On March 28, the electronic newspaper Lao Dong reported that recently, in Dong Anh area, Hanoi, real estate brokers have taken advantage of the demand for social housing (NOXH) at the CT3 Project (Thang Long Green City - Kim Chung Dong Anh) to extort money from those in need. There are many tricks to entice deposits, collect fees for making documents, and sign a type of document that buyers intentionally understand as a "contract with a real estate company". The representative of the Project Management Board of the Joint Investor Handico & Viglacera has quickly coordinated with Lao Dong newspaper to promptly issue necessary messages to warn people to avoid falling into scam traps.

The trick "people submit and fail, brokers submit - 100% approval”

ccording to feedback from residents, recently at the CT3 Kim Chung Dong Anh project (Thang Long Green City), many people have approached those in need of social housing, advertising that: If people submit their own applications, they will "definitely fail". On the contrary, if they entrust them, the chance of winning is even up to 100%. Some people even boasted that they had "priority spots" at the project.

These people give a figure of 120 million to 150 million VND in the name of “grease money” for securing a purchase. In addition, they also require customers to deposit from 20 million to 30 million VND in the form of “consultation and document preparation fee”. So blatantly that - this fee - even if they do not “win” the purchase, will not be returned, because it has been transferred to the investor.

In order to strengthen trust, these subjects also organize to take customers to a place they call "real estate company - a unit cooperating with the investor". Here, customers must sign documents that they intentionally lead to understand as a deposit contract to buy a house.

The joint investor officially warns: This is a fraudulent act, showing signs of profiteering. 

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Trung - Director of the Project Management Board - representing the Handico & Viglacera Joint Venture of Investors committed: In this situation, the representative of the Joint Venture of Investors affirmed that this is completely false information. The process of reviewing social housing purchase applications is carried out publicly and transparently according to the law, not depending on any intermediary individuals or organizations and without any preferential policies through "brokers" or third parties. All costs related to the purchase of a house are disclosed in the contract and comply with the law. The amounts collected by "brokers" are fraudulent acts, unrelated to the CT3 Dong Anh project.

According to Mr. Trung, upon receiving the complaint, the joint venture investor will definitely report and closely coordinate with the authorities to promptly investigate and strictly handle impersonators and fraudsters. At the same time, it calls on the people to:
