New in China? Don't let a scam be your welcome gift π¨
Many of us learned these the hard way. Here's what to watch for:
1οΈβ£ "Agents" who want a big deposit before you've seen the house. View it in person, and only pay against a signed contract.
2οΈβ£ Suppliers whose prices are far below everyone else's. Visit the shop or factory, or use a trusted agent, before you pay.
3οΈβ£ Anyone offering a "special visa" or work permit shortcut. Only trust official channels.
4οΈβ£ Strangers asking you to receive money or parcels for them. Say no.
5οΈβ£ Fake currency exchange deals on WeChat. Use banks or trusted platforms.
6οΈβ£ Pressure to "pay now or lose the deal." Real deals can wait a day.
When in doubt, ask people who live here. On Hafrik you can check a business or ask your city Space before you send a single yuan.
Stay safe, and share this with someone new π
