The Ministry of Public Security's Economic Investigation Bureau issued seven types of pyramid schemes to warn the public
MLM organization targets investor principal
Recently, the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued seven types of pyramid scheme traps, prompting the public to be vigilant. The reporter noted that the “most fashionable†virtual currency pyramid scheme, the “most hidden†consumer rebate pyramid scheme, the “infectious fastest†WeChat mobile game pyramid scheme, and the “most savvy†financial mutual aid pyramid scheme all involve the Internet. In addition, three more traditional types—traditional product props and pyramid schemes, the most prolific capital-based pyramid schemes, and the “most shameless†charity-assisted pyramid schemes, cannot be ignored.
MLM involves more than 100 kinds of "virtual currency"
According to reports, from the "original stocks, charity, consumer rebates, virtual currency" to the "blockchain, crowdfunding" and other hot concepts, often used by pyramid schemes as a gimmick.
In 2017, in the cross-border network pyramid scheme of “Weikaâ€, which was detected by the Public Security Bureau of Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, “Vika†played the concept of “virtual currencyâ€.
The “Vicat Coin†operation mode is that the old members recommend new members to join, pay a certain fee, and register as members of different levels, you can get “tokens†and redeem “mines†on the website. After a long excavation cycle, you can get "Vika coins".
The website claims that “Vika†can be valued, and transactions and purchases of goods can be used to obtain so-called “static gainsâ€. However, there are no products on the website, and they cannot be circulated outside the website, and the transaction amount per person per day is also limited. Either you can't buy or sell, you can't make a profit, or you just increase the number and you can't cash it.
Yang Qing, the captain of the Second Brigade of the Zhuzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that members mainly use the "dynamic mode" to develop new members to receive bonuses, which is to continuously develop members and form a pyramidal pyramid scheme.
According to reports, the total number of global “Vicaco†accounts reached 10.77 million, and the number of accounts opened in the Mainland was 1.47 million, involving an amount of about 15 billion yuan.
The relevant person in charge of the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that the "virtual currency" category of pyramid schemes is based on the appreciation of investment "virtual currency", and the use of e-commerce as a cover for the package. More typical cases include "five-line coins" and "carats". According to incomplete statistics, at present, there are more than 100 kinds of "currency" involved in the "virtual currency" pyramid schemes investigated by public security organs.
In September 2017, the People's Bank of China and other 7 ministries and commissions jointly issued an announcement emphasizing that no organization or individual may illegally engage in token financing activities. Bank institutions and non-bank payment institutions may not conduct business related to token financing transactions. The People's Bank of China pointed out in the relevant risk warning that the statutory “digital currency†has not yet been issued, nor has any agency or enterprise authorized to issue legal “digital currencyâ€. The so-called "digital currency" in the market is all illegal "digital currency". The so-called "digital currency" introduced by some institutions and enterprises or the promotion of the "digital currency" issued by the central bank are all suspected of fraud or pyramid scheme.
Online game funds mutual aid hidden pyramid scheme
In November 2017, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau and other local public security organs cracked the “MBI†International Group suspected of organizing and leading the pyramid scheme.
The reporter learned from the police that in 2015, the suspect Wang and others went online to join the “MBI†(the group headquarters is located in Malaysia), and set up “MFC†on the Internet under the guise of “Game Management Planâ€. The game financial platform", the "easy money" (also known as GRC, M coins) launched by it is called "virtual currency." Through the online shopping mall, offline merchant transactions, etc., the "easy money" will be circulated, and then through the holding of publicity and other forms, publicly advertised that the "virtual currency" will only rise and fall.
According to reports, soon, where the "MFC game money management" went, many of the victims' hard-earned money for many years was swept away, and many family members turned against each other and friends became enemies. The real reason for the geometric growth of participants is the “dynamic incomeâ€, which is the reward for developing the downline. Like most MLM scams, "MBI" also sets up "direct push awards", "touching prizes", "algebra awards", etc., according to the number of development downline and the amount of investment in the form of tokens, the joiners form a huge The pyramid network, the essence of its operation is the Ponzi scheme of "after eating first".
In a video provided by the police, the suspect Xu said that this is a “zero-sum game.†What investors look at is the rate of return. In fact, the company is interested in the investor’s principal.
According to the police, the pyramid scheme is replaced by the vest. It is also inseparable from the three characteristics of paying the entrance fee, developing the downline, and getting paid through direct or indirect development. It is necessary to be alert to the two new types of pyramid schemes, WeChat mobile games and financial mutual aid. .
It is understood that the pyramid schemes such as "Xinghuo Prairie" and "Magic Farm" are linked to the "Internet Finance" and "Game Finance" by means of WeChat, mobile games and other simpler and more convenient ways to create the "best spread". WeChat mobile game class marketing. MLM organizers lied that they can get rich while playing. The biggest feature is that the threshold is low. Players join the game sequence by scanning the QR code to form a relationship between the upper and lower lines, and the infection spreads faster.
The financial mutual aid pyramid schemes such as “Integrity Trading Bao†are known as the “funding disk†and are known as the network world. It is said to be a platform for mutual help and win-win. Participants must first give up, which is the “most embarrassing†financial mutual aid category. By self-matching on the platform, you can first provide financial assistance to others before you can be qualified to be helped by others. The financial mutual aid category of MLM focuses on the direction and design of MLM in capital, the play of capital games and the stimulation of money, so that more participants can fall into it and cannot break. It is a highly confusing MLM model.
Traditional pyramid schemes hit the network "free ride"
One day in March this year, the network police brigade of the Tengzhou Public Security Bureau of Shandong Province found that a biotechnology company was suspected of pyramid schemes. The person in charge of the company develops members through “purchasing hundreds of dollars of daily necessities and skin care productsâ€. Members build a pyramid-like hierarchical topology on the company website according to the recommendation relationship, and formulate marketing systems such as layer awards and volume awards. The number is used as a basis for remuneration and rebate, and induces participants to develop offline.
The reporter learned from the Tengzhou Public Security Network Police Brigade that this marketing agency involved in the marketing of the MLM caught the Internet "free ride." Through the network to contact the factory to customize the production of a brand of daily necessities, skin care products, exaggerate the effect, set the sales price 5 to 10 times the purchase price, through the WeChat chat, field lectures to insend the members to make a fortune dream, publicity bonus system. At present, this case is still under investigation.
The relevant person from the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that the traditional product props marketing can not be ignored. For example, the infamous "Butterbee" pyramid scheme, with the product as the gimmick, used the sales of skin care products, health care products, daily necessities and other names to develop the line.
Consumer rebates and MLM have similarities with traditional product props, but they are more subtle. This kind of pyramid scheme, which is represented by "Heart Future", is based on the banner of e-commerce or micro-business, relying on the online mall, using a small number of commodities as props, and using "consumer rebate" and "value-added consumption" as bait to lure members to join. On the surface, it seems to be a beautiful “sharing economyâ€, and all the way back is a routine.
The other two more traditional types - capital operation class marketing and charity mutual aid class marketing, should also be vigilant.
Capital operation class pyramid schemes are the most widespread among several types of pyramid schemes, with the “1040 Project†pyramid scheme as a typical example. This type of pyramid scheme is under the name of capital operation and "western development". It is under the guise of "national support" and "having a government background", such as "franchising", "investment and development", or by inspection, tourism, etc. Joining and establishing workstations, and planning for pyramid schemes.
According to reports, the pyramid schemes carried out under the guise of "charity aid" and "love and mutual help", that is, charity mutual aid class marketing, is the most shameless. They claim to have an official background and deceive the masses with the name of love such as “doing a harmonious home for charity†and “supporting poor studentsâ€. (Reporter Zhang Wei)
