00:14mountain area
00:14Two fraud rings were busted.
00:16Nearly 400 people were arrested.
00:18One of those times was on July 15th.
00:20Police launched raids on 32 locations.
00:24335 fraudsters from multiple countries were arrested.
00:28It became one of the largest telecom fraud cases cracked in China.
00:32one
00:32Following several reports of criminal dens appearing in residential units
00:37This inevitably leads to a lot of dishonesty.
00:39Some overseas buyers and property owners are worried that...
00:41Is there a security problem in this forest city?
00:44Therefore, we hope that the authorities can strengthen management.
00:47When the reporter from Singapore's New Rice Daily visited Forest City earlier...
00:51It was discovered that many shops were still vacant.
00:55However, the number of shops open for business has clearly increased.
00:59One resident interviewed expressed surprise.
01:01They also saw the news.
01:03I only found out then that a fraud ring had moved in.
01:06Because they hadn't noticed anything unusual when they went out.
01:09However, a 50-year-old woman surnamed Huo mentioned...
01:13She bought the unit 5 years ago.
01:15I spend about half the year here handling business.
01:19She understands that once the number of vacant units here increases...
01:23It can easily become a base for fraud.
01:25That's just because nothing happened to her despite her many visits.
01:29Therefore, she is not too worried about safety issues.
01:31It's just a fraud group based in Forest City.
01:35Most of them actually rarely eat out.
01:38Many restaurants in Forest City claim
01:41They mainly receive tourists on weekdays.
01:44Or perhaps to participate in golf activities.
01:46And customers of exhibitions
01:47We rarely receive any other large additional orders.
01:51However, one of the merchants, who declined to be named, said
01:54After a fraud ring was busted in July
01:57Indeed, one restaurant suddenly closed down within a few days.
02:01It made her feel very strange.
02:03Forest City has now become a hideout for fraud syndicates.
02:06Forest City's management has also responded.
02:08In their email reply to the Westminster Daily, they stated that...
02:12Management adopts a zero-tolerance attitude towards all illegal activities.
02:16We will not shy away from the public attention it has recently garnered.
02:19The group also cooperated closely with the police.
02:22In addition to auxiliary police officers patrolling 24 hours a day
02:24Starting in August
02:26They also stationed tourist police there.
02:28Regular joint patrols and sharing of security information
02:31So what about now?
02:32Forest City is also moving forward with plans to establish a permanent police station.
02:38Forest City management also mentioned
02:40They also recently reiterated to the homeowners
02:42Before the tenant moves in
02:44Complete personal data and information must be provided.
02:46This reduces the chances of renting to criminals.
02:50Because of the real estate agency management unit...
02:52The intermediary's business license and the contact information of the person in charge must also be provided.
02:57Mode
02:57The management mentioned that
02:58If there are overseas buyers
03:00If it is not possible to return to Malaysia to regularly inspect the property
03:03You can contact the Forest City property management team.
03:06They will fulfill their duties
03:08And within the scope permitted by law.
