The illegal spot trading platform set up a ＂beauty＂ scam to target men over 35 years old.
On WeChat, have you ever met a "sister" with a very beautiful avatar who took the initiative to chat up and told you that "she" earned 100,000 yuan a month? In the chat, the "low-key luxury" girl is white, rich, beautiful and considerate, and cares for you … … In fact, this is a well-planned "beauty" investment scam, focusing on men over 35 years old and with a certain economic foundation in the name of spot investment. After all kinds of showing off your wealth, unconsciously, you have fallen into this carefully laid-out WeChat marketing routine.
Insider of self-explosion of employees before the spot platform:
Customers lose money, company employees get commission.
Recently, with the support of the municipal anti-fraud center, Yueqing police in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province cracked a series of online virtual investment fraud cases and smashed fraud gangs in the name of investment spot, involving tens of millions of yuan.
Similar cases may happen around us. Last week, Mr. Yi, who once worked in a spot trading platform, told the Beijing Morning Post reporter that the illegal spot platform used "beauty" marketing to focus on men over 35 years old, and after defrauding the trust, it finally made investors suffer huge losses and obtained the investor’s principal.
Mr. Yi told the Beijing Morning Post that he had worked in a secondary member unit of a crude oil spot trading platform. "One of my customers in Beijing invested 50,000 yuan and earned 110,000 yuan in a short time. The company called directly, so I have to make customers lose money! " Mr. Yi said that he did not agree and chose to leave. But what he didn’t expect was that the company directly obtained the customer’s password, reversed the operation, and finally made the customer lose money completely.
Secret of the whole process of "Beauty" WeChat marketing
Start saying hello
Open WeChat, and suddenly a beautiful "beauty" greets you. Unsuspecting, you may click "accept" and "beauty" appears in your circle of friends.
Mr. yi: You know what? The "beauty" seen on WeChat is actually just the male salesman of the company.
Step 1 Chat
You will see that the circle of friends of "beauty" will be updated every day, and your own life photos will be exposed. "Beauty" is always "low-key luxury", either a fragrant bag or a famous car, or traveling around. "Beauty" will also chat with you, from far to near, from birth to maturity.
Mr. yi, the informant: A male salesman will have such a "beauty" partner, and when voice or telephone contact is needed, the "beauty" will appear in time. But I would like to ask, which "beauty" has the time to type and chat with you when she has nothing to do?
Step 2: Invite and fry the spot.
Mr. yi, the whistleblower: In addition to "Beauty" WeChat marketing, illegal spot platforms generally use live broadcast rooms, QQ groups and other means to attract customers. After customers enter the live broadcast room or QQ group, there will generally be a "master" teacher to guide everyone to operate, and the "teacher" has a huge number of fans. "But the truth is that these fans are often fake by company salesmen in various names, and they are all childcare."
If you continue to talk, you will also find out that "beauty" makes money almost every day in "speculation" … … When you have a crush, "Beauty" will invite you to join the group or send you a QQ number to recommend a "teacher" who calls himself "analyst".
Step 3 "Teacher" Guidance
As soon as you join the group, you will find that the "teacher" has many "fans" and the guidance of the "teacher" is "good cow"! At first, under the guidance of "teachers", you will make money soon. But in the following days, your good luck will not be so much.
Mr. yi, the informant: The "teacher" is watertight when guiding the operation. If the predicted direction is correct, the "teacher" will say, "Look, listen to me, did you do it right?" If the direction is opposite, the teacher will say, "This suggestion is for reference only."
And fell into a bottomless pit
After constantly "buying up and buying down", the money you put in has gradually become a bottomless pit. You come with a dream of making money, but the other person is thinking about your principal.
Mr. yi, the whistleblower: The ultimate goal of the illegal spot trading platform, whether it is beauty marketing or teacher guidance, is to make you trust "beauty" or "teacher" so that you can shout out "empty orders or multiple orders" which are contrary to the market trend, and eventually the customers will lose money and the company will make money. In some illegal spot platforms, if the client’s funds lose money, the person in charge of the company and the investment director will have a certain proportion of the share, and the instructor will also have a commission of 5% to 10%.
■ Industry views
CSRC:
Clean-up depends on local governments.
In recent years, there have been many disputes on platforms with spot, crude oil, silver and some bulk commodities as trading targets. Not long ago, Chen Baifeng, director of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, introduced that by the end of September this year, there were 369 cases or clues involving illegal securities and futures. 54 cases were transferred to public security organs and 78 cases were transferred to local governments or industrial and commercial departments. So far, the public security organs have filed 27 cases and arrested nearly 200 suspects.
The State Council once issued Guo Fa [2011] No.38 Document, and the General Office of the State Council also issued the Implementation Opinions on Cleaning up and Rectifying Various Trading Places (Guo Ban Fa [2012] No.37). "Both documents clarify the principle of who approves and who manages. Spot trading places are approved by local governments, and the responsibility of cleaning up and rectifying them is also the responsibility of local governments. The joint meeting mainly plays a role in supervision and coordination. " Chen Baifeng said, therefore, the final clean-up and rectification of illegal spot trading platforms still depends on the strength of local governments.
■ Background link
There are only 8 state-level exchanges.
Spot trading is a new investment channel. There are many spot trading markets in China, most of which are approved by local governments, and they mainly participate in the operation of bulk primary raw materials, including agricultural products, metals, building materials and other trading varieties.
The operation methods of spot trading and futures trading are very similar. Both transactions are T+0, which can amplify leverage, and there is a short-selling mechanism, which is very flexible, unlike stocks that can only be long. Spot trading platforms are mostly approved by local governments, and each trading platform trades different varieties, with a large leverage ratio of up to 1:100.
The Beijing Morning Post reporter learned that at present, there are only eight state-level exchanges approved by the State Council in China:
1. Shanghai Stock Exchange;
2. Shenzhen Stock Exchange;
3. China Financial Futures Exchange;
4. Shanghai Futures Exchange;
5. Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange;
6. Dalian Commodity Exchange;
7. National Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Share Transfer System (New Third Board);
8. Shanghai Gold Exchange.
