China Overseas Chinese Network, January 18, according to the US "Overseas News" report, on the morning of the 15th local time, New York State Assistant Attorney Matthew Eubank bought a car at a car dealership three years ago at the office of the Flushing Community Watch Mutual Aid Team in New York City. The 22 Chinese consumers who were deceived sent a $180,000 repayment check.

  The Captain of the Watch Mutual Aid Team, Zhu Lichuang, said that a car dealer on Beisai North Avenue took advantage of the fact that new immigrants did not understand English and the law to let Chinese salespersons sell vehicles to new immigrants. The vehicles on display were all cheaper, and said "No credit With the slogan "no credit no problem" (no credit no problem), when customers receive a bill after buying a car, they find that the loan interest is high, which does not match the information when they bought the car.

After questioning the car dealer, the customer was told that the car had various problems and the loan interest was high, or the car dealer used the extra money as a handling fee to prevaricate the customer.

  Zhu Lichuang said that at the beginning of 2018, more than a dozen customers who were deceived went to the car dealership to demonstrate, but were driven by the car dealership.

But as time progressed, the incident gradually fermented, and more and more Chinese customers called themselves victims.

Zhu Lichuang pointed out that the car dealer took advantage of the fact that new immigrants did not understand English and the law, and they were afraid of spending money to hire a lawyer and causing trouble.

  The New York State Attorney's Office immediately intervened after receiving reports from dozens of people. It took more than two years to help 22 victims of Chinese descent recover US$186,800. One of the victims received compensation of more than US$20,000.

  Prosecutor Matthew Eubank encourages victims to report to the police immediately after suspecting that they have been defrauded. The fraud that occurred at Bayside Star Toyota is not a case. He solved a similar case in Brooklyn four years ago.

After the complaint is resolved, he has to resolve the complaints of more than 20 other consumers added by the same car dealer.
