Cases of charter fraud, such as the one in which the owner of the document, who rented over 1,000 villas, suddenly died, and the victims appeared one after another, continue to be confirmed.

As the so-called 'villa king', the bosses who bought houses in the same way, died, another damage from charter fraud is being revealed one after another.

A four-story villa in Sinjeong-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.



Of the 11 houses here, 4 are owned by Mr. Kim, the deceased 'Villa King', and another barge boss, Mr. Jeong, owns 3 houses here.



However, Mr. Jeong also died suddenly in July of last year.



Since then, tenants have not been getting their deposit back.



[Mr. A/Victim of charter fraud: We have only two ways.

I have to go to one of the two, 'who wins the bid at the auction' or (or) 'whether we buy it myself', but who will win the bid, at the auction.]



As a result of the confirmation, the house identified as belonging to Mr. Jeong Of the 240 houses, only 35 houses have deposit insurance.



Because he died immediately after concentrating on charter contracts, most tenants were unable to purchase insurance.



[Mr. B/Victim of Charter Fraud: (Mr. Jeong) intensively signed a contract between May and July and died in July, so most of the people who did not sign up for (rental insurance) were completed.]



After his death, it was confirmed that an electronic signature was signed in the name of Jung on the guarantee insurance application, raising suspicions behind the charter fraud.



On the 12th, when Song Mo, a 20-year-old owner of dozens of villas and officetels in Incheon, died, Song's tenants were in the same situation.

Victims held a rally in front of the government complex Sejong and urged countermeasures.



[Kim Jong-hyun/Victim of charter fraud: It is very unfortunate that so many people are making sacrifices and being cornered as credit delinquents.

The government has come up with a solution soon...

The warning of the risk of charter fraud involving the so-called 'pants boss' has already begun a year ago, but voices say that the government's response was insufficient.
