A real estate consulting firm CEO, Shin Mo, who is accused of running a chartered fraudulent company and earning commissions, has been arrested.
Shin mobilized 78 people, including a real estate agent, a real estate agent, and a rental operator, Mr. Kim, to commit charter fraud in Gangseo-gu, Yangcheon-gu, and Incheon for about three years from July 2017.
They used the 'non-capital gap investment' method of selecting mid-to-low-priced multi-family houses with the same sales price and charter price, signing a charter contract and passing the title of the house to Mr. Kim and other bosses as soon as they received the deposit.
In this way, 628 houses were bought, and the jeonse deposit that 37 victims had stolen reached 8 billion won.
The police confiscated Shin's cell phone and investigated it, and as a result, it was revealed that this company had managed a number of 'villa kings' by sharing roles such as searching for a property, recruiting tenants, and drafting contracts.
In particular, in 2021, it was confirmed that Shin was also behind a rental operator, Mr. Jeong, who suddenly died in Jeju after renting about 240 villas and officetels in Yangcheon-gu and Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
The police requested that in order to prevent charter fraud using this method, the lessee should be notified immediately when the lessor changes and the contract should be stipulated in the contract to cancel the contract if it is impossible to sign up for charter guarantee insurance.
