How to identify and prevent online financial "blockchain, virtual currency" fraud pyramid schemes?

According to incomplete statistics, more than 1000 MLM platforms in China use the concept of blockchain. It can be said that, from "high and low" to "mud and sand", this "old wine for new pot" online fraud pyramid scheme is enduring and thought-provoking.

Summarizing the scams of these blockchains is nothing more than these two usual methods:

One is to "sell dog meat by hanging sheep's head" and conduct pyramid schemes in the name of "virtual currency". For example, in the FT currency of Fcoin exchange, investors feel that this mode of trading dividends can be maintained. However, once no new people enter the market to buy them, it will be enough to make them collapse.

The other is the so-called "export to domestic sales". For example, in the case of "Vicat" involving a total amount of 654.38+0.6 billion yuan, the organization's MLM website and marketing model were established by the Bulgarian organization, and the server was located in Denmark. After China banned ICO according to law and closed the domestic virtual currency exchange, fraudulent organizations continued to cheat under the slogan of "exporting to domestic market".

So how do we distinguish blockchain pyramid schemes?

As a branch of MLM, blockchain MLM must have many characteristics of MLM. One of the biggest characteristics is the development of downline, and the organizer will promise to give as many people as possible, or how many rewards will be given for developing several downlines, or confuse users with terms such as fission.

1, MLM depends on one mouth, and there is no actual developer. For example, the famous pyramid scheme currency Vicat, and a very nice name Onecoin. Known as the second generation cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, this currency has attracted a large number of investors since it came out in 20 14. Although it has been listed as a pyramid scheme by the state for many times, there are still investors who never give up, perhaps because they are deeply involved. We can't just let it go. We must pay attention to all directions and listen to opinions from all directions.

The cake of pyramid selling is painted too big, so we must remain skeptical. Common expressions are subverting the world, changing the pattern, defeating banks and wealth freedom. There are dreams, but they are too outrageous to be believed.

3. There is also a pyramid plan to actively create FOMO (making you afraid of missing what happened). Publicity to the outside world, if you buy money, you can turn it a hundred times, a thousand times.

It is always revealed that this is an opportunity to turn over and get married for nothing. Buy early and get rich early, buy early and wait for wealth to be free.

How to tell whether to sell money through pyramid schemes? Remember the following three points:

1, over-exaggerating yourself: If you like promotional items with WeChat business words such as Global XX and World XX, please be careful!

2. Grading system: Generally speaking, MLM likes to engage in grading mode and develop members, but there is no formal blockchain.

3. Verify your real-name registration system: Any owner/trade union/superior who needs to verify your real-name registration system is a pyramid scheme.

Finally, search for information, ask questions, think and do more homework. There are too many scams in the currency circle, be careful!

How do we protect our rights when encountering blockchain pyramid schemes?

1, on-site negotiation for rights protection

After discovering that they have been cheated, many investors will unite to defend their rights in the location of the virtual currency exchange, besiege the exchange and put pressure on it to return the relevant losses. This way can play a certain role. Many investors have recovered some losses more or less, but rarely can they recover all the losses. Those who can get it back either have strength or background, or through the media, or even through finding relationships, but many people don't get their losses back.

Step 2 call the police

When an alarm is issued, the following processing results are usually obtained:

First of all, the police determined that such cases were normal investment losses and were not handled;

Second, the police decided that their funds had been circulated abroad and were unacceptable, so they could only be advised to fight international lawsuits;

Third, because the previous contract platform was signed with them in the name of the company, the amount did not meet the filing standards;

Fourth, once the platform runs away, the company moves empty, and the case can hardly be advanced, so we can only choose civil litigation.

The road to safeguarding rights is really bumpy. It is better to start from the source and not give the liar a chance!
