Suddenly? The loss is as high as 30 million! Dozens of film and television equipment rental companies across the country have been cheated!

Recently, many photographic equipment rental companies in Shanghai have been unable to sleep well.

Some time ago, someone rented a batch of film and television equipment from them in the name of "government asset procurement". Specifically, more than 100 Sony FX-3, Sony FX-6, SonyG main lens, fixed-focus zoom lens and other equipment were rented, and 1-3 months was left in state-owned units to cope with superior inspections, helping state-owned units to falsify.

Later, many renters talked about this matter in the circle, thinking that although it sounded unreliable, they still wanted to win such a big order because of the sluggish industry.

Later, due to the increase in the number and amount of equipment leasing in the national leasing market, almost all leasing companies rented it to the same person at the same time, which was discovered to be a big scam. Tens of millions of film and television equipment are missing. After many investigations, it was discovered that most of the equipment had been sold at a low price!

All the remaining unsold equipment was mortgaged by nearly 10 million! Although the two sides signed a lease contract, it may be that the lessor will not get back not only the money, but also the machine.

Due to the epidemic situation in previous years, the development of film and television industry is not smooth, and the film and television rental market is hovering at the bottom. According to many domestic film and television equipment rental companies, the cause of the incident in the video is that criminals pretend to be government officials to rent a large number of equipment in China. In the face of this big order, the film and television equipment leasing company actively cooperated in goods transfer, offered low prices and agreed to the demands of criminals.

No deposit, no need to follow the crew. The criminals are eyeing the loopholes in the leasing process and committing fraud. At present, the police have called the police and the police have filed a case for investigation. Equipment worth tens of millions has been sold at low prices.

At present, there are many film and television equipment rental enterprises in China, adding up to tens of millions of equipment. It is understood that criminals are very familiar with the film and television equipment leasing industry, understand the low price of the film and television equipment leasing industry, and even master the operating rules of the film and television equipment leasing company, and do not need to follow the crew when making requests, so that criminals can take advantage of it. According to insiders, these devices have been sold by criminals to Dashatou in Guangzhou and Huaqiang North in Shenzhen for cash. At present, the public security organs have filed a case for investigation, and the victims and the amount are being further verified.

Although the police have filed a case for investigation, this incident is also a big blow to the entire film and television equipment rental. The cooperation with large state-owned enterprises has made many people feel excited and have placed orders according to the instructions of criminals. So how to protect yourself while providing convenience?

It is suggested that film and television equipment rental enterprises pay attention to the following points:

● Before handing over the equipment, please confirm the identity of the other party and make records.

● For equipment below 20,000 yuan, a part of the deposit can be reserved for guarantee.

● Equipment worth more than 20,000 yuan must be accompanied by the crew.

Finally, I hope that the lessor and the lessor of film and television equipment will be strictly self-disciplined, and it is inevitable to hurt people's hearts and jointly create a good order in the film and television rental industry. It is also hoped that relevant industries will promptly check and plug loopholes in management and operation, strengthen staff training, find problems in time and avoid unnecessary losses.
