The usable area is 60 square meters. Although the homeowner asked for 700,000 yuan, which was a bit expensive, Chen Hong still decided to buy it.

But when it came time to sign the contract and make the payment, something fishy happened. The homeowner and the seller turned out to be different people.

Chen Hong was furious; she had almost been swindled out of her money and fell into someone's trap!

She has bought no fewer than thirty houses of varying sizes in four cities across China, and this has never happened before!

She never expected that she would almost be scammed in her hometown, the place where she grew up. It was outrageous and infuriating!

Chen Hong caused a scene at the real estate agency, threatening to call the police. The agency judged her by her appearance; seeing that she was a woman dressed in designer clothes, driving a Mercedes, and was very assertive and unyielding, they backed down.

They quickly refunded Chen Hong's deposit, handling fees, and agency fees, hoping to settle the matter peacefully.

After an afternoon of negotiations, the agency paid Chen Hong an additional 20,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress before she finally let them go.

If it weren't for the fact that she still needed to pick up her child, Chen Hong would definitely have had a serious talk with them.

That evening, Chen Hong posted about the incident online, warning homebuyers to be wary of similar situations.

The real estate market in Jinan has been quite chaotic in recent years. Some people have paid the down payment and made mortgage payments for several years but still haven't received their houses.

There are also cases like Chen Hong's today, where the property certificate and the homeowner are not the same person, indicating that the same property has been sold to multiple people.

She not only posted the real estate agency's information online, but also the storefront, hoping other homebuyers would see it and avoid being scammed.

It's important to understand that 700,000 yuan in 2008 was no small sum in Jinan; it represented a lifetime's savings for an average family.
