Is Levin Yijundo a pyramid scheme?

Internet pyramid schemes are hidden, with a wide range of victims, and criminal leaders are highly intelligent and difficult to be detected. In the Internet age, all kinds of websites appeared in front of computers, and they were mixed up and accidentally fell into it. In order to protect the lives and property of the masses and prevent them from being deceived, the following help the masses correctly identify Internet pyramid schemes from the perspective of 13.

(1) After entering the website, first check whether there is a logo of the Red Shield Industrial and Commercial Bureau or an ICP business logo. The logo of Hongdun Industrial and Commercial Bureau is the logo that the business website is put on record on the website of Industrial and Commercial Bureau; ICP business license is a license issued by Communications Administration. If yes, you can click to check the authenticity; If there is no logo of the Red Shield Industrial and Commercial Bureau and no ICP license, it is illegal to operate the website, although it may not be recognized as Internet pyramid schemes. The logo of Hongdun Industrial and Commercial Bureau should be inquired in official website, and the local industrial and commercial administrative department and ICP license can be inquired in official website, and the local communication administration.

(2) See if the website publishes its detailed office address and telephone number. Under normal circumstances, the compliance website will publish its office address and telephone number in official website, which is convenient for customers to contact. However, some Internet MLM companies dare not publish or falsely publish their office addresses and telephone numbers for ulterior motives. Therefore, they can verify the office address and telephone number of the website on the spot through various channels to identify the authenticity of the website.

(3) Check the basic registration information of the website. The general public can find the domain name in the website, and then go to the domain name registration network to check (/) to see if the domain name owner of the website is an individual or an enterprise. The national commercial law stipulates that individuals are not allowed to operate only enterprises, that is, the domain name owner must be an enterprise; Individuals who want to engage in business activities must apply for a business license, that is, a personal business license.

(4) You can check whether the website has a forum dedicated to posting. Regular and legal websites often have special discussion forums. On the contrary, some Internet MLM websites are afraid to open forums for discussion or express their opinions freely because of their guilty conscience. Also distinguish between those websites that set up forums. Generally speaking, it is mainly eulogizing or flattering articles, and we should also pay attention to articles that lack sharp criticism or just ask sharp questions but are quickly deleted.

(V) Verify the consulting feedback effect of the website. The purpose of internet MLM website is money or money-related things. So you can ask them some important questions that have nothing to do with money through various channels, such as corporate culture or website optimization. Legitimate websites will generally face up to these suggestions, or at least give you a reply, but websites that have not responded several times should be suspicious.

(six) to verify whether the propaganda slogans of Internet sales enterprises are consistent with the actual situation. Any legal way to earn money is to pay corresponding labor. There may be few people who get rich in a short time, but what is certain is that it is impossible for most netizens to get rich overnight, and there will be no pie in the sky. Therefore, some companies publicize that according to their operations, the slogans such as "tens of thousands of dollars a month is easy" and "how many days to buy a luxury car is not a dream" are far from reality, but there is a great possibility of Internet pyramid schemes.

Case: Chen Zhihua, once known as the "No.1 hypnotist in Asia", constantly instilled in people inspirational thoughts such as "As long as the marketing is done well, I will teach you to buy a Mercedes-Benz in 108, a house in 6 months, and a Rolls-Royce in a year, so that you can easily earn millions a month". For a person with normal thinking, these slogans are too exaggerated and far from the actual situation.

(seven) to verify the accuracy of the cases of making money published on the website. The MLM website often publishes a list of members who make money according to their operations. At this time, it depends on whether they have their own phone number, email address or other contact information. The credibility of leaving contact information is higher than that of not leaving contact information. For websites that leave contact information, you need to send messages or emails to each of them sincerely. In the case of repeated contact, if you don't reply once, you need to pay attention to such websites, and there may be problems.

Case: At present, WeChat business is becoming more and more popular. Almost everyone has such people in their circle of friends, but more and more people use micro-business pyramid schemes. In order to develop agents and get commissions, WeChat MLM staff insist on drying orders and income every day, telling people that they can earn thousands of dollars a day in disguise, but these screenshots of chat and transfer are edited by counterfeit software such as "WeChat dialogue generator" and "order generator", and the edited screenshots are exactly the same as the real screenshots, thus creating the illusion of prosperous business and making people believe it.

(eight) to judge the rationality of the website operation mode. "Pulling people's heads" is the most important feature of Internet marketing and traditional marketing. If the website does not need to develop multi-level downline, it can basically be judged that it is not a pyramid scheme. However, if the investment company is introduced by others and registered members need to fill in references, then this website is more likely to be suspected of pyramid schemes and needs attention.

(nine) to judge the authenticity of the website operation mode. The profit model of most operating websites is to publish online advertisements and then make profits by clicking browse. However, there are many fake websites of this type. The way to distinguish them is to contact the customers of the website by email and ask them if they publish advertisements on the website. If the answer is no, ask them if they entrust another company to do online advertising for them. If the answer is yes, ask the company whether to entrust a website agent. If not, then you can basically judge that there is something wrong with the website. The industry calls it "advertising drag", that is, it is illegal to apply for an advertising code on the advertising agency website.

(10) Check whether there are physical products on the website or whether the prices of physical products match the market prices. Internet MLM websites are concerned about offline development. Pulling people's heads charges membership fees or buys sky-high products, and they don't care about the existence of products or whether the price of products corresponds to the value. Regular sales companies pay special attention to the satisfaction of products to consumers, and can consult the situation of products, so as to simply judge whether the website is suspected of Internet pyramid schemes.

Case: In the pyramid scheme of "Gongting Tea Treasure" in Shengzhou on 20/0/5, Wang and Zhang Wei, together with Nantong Tea Biotechnology Co., Ltd., organized and planned pyramid schemes in the name of promoting "Gongting Tea Treasure". It is agreed that the profit will be split 50/50. The wholesale price of 400 yuan's "Gongting Tea Treasure" is 2500 yuan, but the market price is far lower than 2500 yuan. It can be said that the price and value of the product are seriously unequal.

(eleven) check the company's reward mechanism. Internet MLM companies generally have many reward mechanisms, such as recommendation awards, competition awards, leadership awards, etc., while general sales companies rarely have so many reward mechanisms. If an Internet sales company has too many dynamic reward mechanisms, you need to pay attention to it. It may be an Internet MLM company.

Case: On October 20 13, the Netan Brigade of Dingtao County Public Security Bureau cracked a mega-network pyramid scheme involving 6 billion yuan, and arrested 26 main suspects headed by Zhang and Zhang Moumou. According to the investigation, since 201165438+February, the criminal suspect Zhang and others have set up their own website "Cloud Digital Trade Network" by renting overseas servers, with direct prizes and high rewards such as Apple mobile phones, computers, BMW cars and sea view rooms as bait, which have rapidly developed in Sanya, Hainan, Wuhan, Hubei, Zhengzhou and Henan. The gang has developed members in 1 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government1120,000 people, involving a total amount of 6 billion yuan.

(twelve) to verify whether there is a complete commodity return mechanism. Internet MLM companies basically won't let customers sell their products and return them, or set up many obstacles to prevent customers from returning them, but compliant direct selling companies have complete return channels. So we can simply use this method to judge whether the company has the possibility of Internet marketing.

(XIII) Check the circulation degree of the company's products in the market. The products sold by normal direct selling companies basically meet the market demand, so they are widely circulated in the market. However, the Internet MLM company is playing the routine of "gathering people to raise funds". They are concerned about developing offline membership fees or buying their products on a large scale to obtain membership. However, these products are rarely circulated in the market because of their poor cost performance, and they are just offline subscription products. According to this, we can check the circulation degree of the company's products in the market. The smaller the degree of circulation, the greater the possibility of being suspected of Internet pyramid schemes.
