In order to avoid stepping on many “ pits”, the more common hoaxes are “scrambles” and “substitutes”。
Zhejiang zhangshan, a woman who wanted to open an internet store but had no experience of doing so, turned over $18,800 to a hangzhou company called the "budger for business" and handed over the shop to the other party to run it. However, the money was paid, and the store was not well known in the hands of the other party。
It's very expensive to run a "set" for treasure hunters
After 80 years, ling (alias) was a canoe, and she wanted to open a treasure shop and do a costume business. However, ling has no experience with the internet store and does not know how to do it。
In march 2016, ling saw an ad on a micro-clinic public sign, which stated that it was possible to look after a variety of treasure shop issues for customers, including the opening of a network shop, the renovation of a shop, the uploading of goods, the delivery of goods, increased sales and the promotion of credibility。
“this will solve the immediate need.” ling, in a spirit of experimentation, contacted hangzhou woo-mitech ltd. (hereinafter “uwa inc.”), which advertised。
The company's operator told ling that the company has five types of business “meals”: “flags” of $3,600, “entrepreneurs” of $6,800, “cores” of $9,800, “vip” of $19,800 and “tops” of $36,000. The higher the price of the package, the more sophisticated the shop is to be renovated, and there will be an increase in the number of billings and in the channels of promotion. For example, customers buy the most expensive, most esteemed packages, and companies can brush the stars of internet stores to the crown level。
The money's spent, and the internet store's not working
After some thought, ling bought a $6,800 business package. She wanted her own internet store to get hot soon。
However, more than half a month later, the businesses of ling's internet store did not improve. Ling is anxious to ask u-mi to raise the sales of the internet store。
The clerk indicated that ling would have to pay more to benefit from business upgrade services. Thus, on 25 april 2016, ling paid an additional $12,000 in “upgrading costs”. This was followed by a brief increase in the sales of internet stores。
However, not long ago, the internet store was left unattended. Ling contacted u-mi again and asked her to buy “upgrading” services。
Ling thought she was being deceived and reported the case to the police of the puto district. The police investigated and found that uwyok was suspected of fraud in the name of poignant operations。
Between november 2016 and december 2017, the police of the puto district went to hangzhou and anhui, respectively, and captured li, wang and 10 employees of the uwa company。
A waterline scam
Li, born in 1989, is from hubei chong county. In may 2015, li and anhui, born in 1991, co-financed the establishment of uwa corporation in hangzhou. Li is the representative of a legal person, representing 40 per cent of the shares; wang is the representative of 60 per cent of the shares。
U microcorp promotes treasure-seeking operations by posting false advertisements online. It has four sales departments and one operations department, and when customers “go to the door”, the sales department's operators, in accordance with the pre-prepared “talkies”, have the capacity to upgrade the credibility of the treasure shop, promote the promotion of the treasure shop, etc., and conceiving clients to buy expensive food packages。
After payment by the client, the operator of the department of operations provides some simple services, such as assistance in opening a store, renovation of a store, drawing a small number of bills, etc., so that the client can be trusted. In fact, the cost of these services is low. According to li, the cost of renovating a treasure shop would not exceed $100, while the express receipt used for the billing was purchased for two dollars。
“the majority of the company's personnel are salesmen, few of them actually do the billings and simply do not meet the demands of so many customers.” according to li, the billing was only intended to induce clients to upgrade the package in order to collect more fees for their services。
“we are not a regular company, and all operations are designed to defraud customers of money, and when they do, they complete the target, which is a waterline scam.” several u. U. S. Operators have explained that for services purchased by their clients, the company can drag and drag, and then brush a few sheets, and “it is impossible to be able to do so for as long as it takes.”
Thousands of internet shop owners
As of july 2016, 12 persons, including li xiao and wang, had been found to have been defrauded of over $9. 19 million from more than 1,000 victims。
In recent days, the intermediate court of guangshan city sentenced li to 13 years ' imprisonment and a fine of $500,000 for contract fraud. Ten uwc employees were convicted of the same offence and were sentenced to penalties ranging from criminal penalties to 10 years ' imprisonment for different offences。
In fact, li's confession may have reminded some internet shopkeepers of their eagerness: “now that the internet store is so competitive, it is possible to raise the number of customers only if the customer runs it properly, and we certainly cannot do so.”
