The e-commerce platform is in trouble again! Thousands of consumers were deceived, and many lost their entire fortune

Help 100 million consumers achieve consumption freedom by 2025!

A full-category e-commerce APP called "Xuncaoji" made such bold claims when it was launched in August 2019.

However, less than two years after it was launched, news came out one after another that the deposit could not be withdrawn, the office building was empty, the main person in charge ran away, and the APP stopped operating.

Thousands of consumers were overwhelmed overnight: Have I been cheated?

According to official news, the actual controller of the "Xuncaoji" mall is the New Third Board-listed company - Beijing Jiutian Yunzhu Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Yunzhu Information, 837939), and its powerful shareholders include Shanghai Securities, Oriental Fortune Securities, Huajin Securities, Fed Securities, Huaxin Securities, Dongguan Securities, Zhongsheng Fund, Small and Micro Internet Investment, Huoshaoyun Investment, etc.

How did such a company with "ambitions" and no shortage of money use to cause ordinary consumers to be deceived?

The most attractive thing about the "Xuncaoji" platform is the "0 yuan purchase" - Freebuy. Users buy things in the mall and can apply for a refund after the purchase. The time is determined by themselves, but according to the cashback Depending on the number of periods, you need to pay an amount that is dozens to hundreds of times higher than the original price of the product. The longest cashback period is 64 months, which is equivalent to 5 years, and the shortest is half a month. The shorter the cashback period you choose, the more you pay. The higher the amount and the longer the cashback period you choose, the lower the payment amount.

In other words, if you want to get cash back quickly, you must pay almost 100 times the deposit to the platform, and then the platform will return the money to you within a certain period of time.

For example, if you want to buy a product worth 82.8 yuan, you need to pay 8,280 yuan to the platform first, and then the platform will return all 8,280 yuan to you in as little as half a month, which is equivalent to buying this product for free.

This is taking advantage of consumers’ psychology of taking advantage. Everyone wants to get free benefits quickly and choose the fastest cashback period. It happens that the fastest cashback period is the one with the largest payment amount. No one wants to If you buy something worth a few hundred yuan and pay it over 10 months or years, you won't be able to enjoy "zero yuan purchase" in time.

Therefore, when most consumers buy something worth hundreds of yuan, they will choose the fastest cashback period and pay almost 100 times, which is tens of thousands of yuan. Once they taste the sweetness once, consumers will Will frequently place orders on the platform.

Some consumers may also think that after paying almost 100 times the deposit, what if the deposit is not refunded? Or what if the platform goes bankrupt? There is no guarantee.

"Xuncaoji" has thought of these problems for a long time. In order to let consumers lower their vigilance and pay with confidence, it is indicated on the payment page that the "Xuncaoji" mall is Yunzhu Information (stock code 837939 )'s Internet platform, its powerful shareholders include Shanghai Securities, Oriental Fortune Securities, Huajin Securities, Fed Securities, Huaxin Securities, Dongguan Securities, Zhongsheng Fund, Small and Micro Internet Investment, Huoshaoyun Investment, etc., which will ensure the funds of every user Safety.

At the same time, it means that it has 100 million consumer protection funds for consumers, so please feel free to use it!

When consumers see this paragraph, they will relax their vigilance, thinking that these institutions are not short of money and will not care about their own tens of millions, so they cannot give up this opportunity.

Another attractive way of "Xuncao Ji" is to become a diamond partner, that is, you can spend 299 yuan to buy 300 yuan worth of shopping gold to become a diamond partner. After becoming a diamond partner, invite If 200 friends register, they will receive a reward of 299 yuan. If they successfully develop lower-level store owners or buyers, each one will also receive exclusive rewards.

In addition, as long as you simply share the mall with your colleagues and friends, you can not only receive benefits, but also get consumption commissions from your subordinates, and get a 50% discount on FreeBuy products you consume, and purchase or transfer them to your subordinates. FreeBuy orders and enjoy commission commission.

Not only can FreeBuy orders in Xuncaoji Mall be terminated at any time, FreeBuy orders can also be transferred. That is, after the buyer and seller agree on the price, the seller gets the agreed transaction amount and the buyer gets the order waiting amount. Refund - Because there is a 0 yuan purchase as a premise, Freebuy orders are profitable for sellers even if they are sold at a discount.

Xuncaoji promotes the way in which it can "make money while lying down", allowing more consumers to roll up their sleeves and work harder.

In October 2019, Mr. Wang joined a company called Chengdu Listed Information Technology Co., Ltd. The company promoted that its parent company was a listed company, namely Beijing Jiutian Yunzhu Information Technology Co., Ltd.

Mr. Wang, who had just joined the company, was deceived by the company and applied for a credit card. He tried the new consumption model introduced by the company and reused the credit card to recharge 160,000 yuan to Xuncaoji Mall.

“In this way, you can recharge your credit card to Xuncaoji Mall, and you can withdraw it after half a month. Moreover, the company stipulates that each internal employee can develop subordinates, relatives and friends spend money in Xuncaoji Mall, and you can You can get a certain percentage of commission. In addition, the company’s assessment requires everyone to top up their salary on the platform for consumption,” said Mr. Wang.

However, on February 1, 2021, a large number of platform users in Xuncaoji Mall were unable to withdraw cash, and Mr. Wang could not withdraw his 160,000 yuan.

In addition, Mr. Wang revealed: "On average, each employee of the company has more than 100,000 yuan that cannot be withdrawn on the platform, and together with external people, the amount is nearly 6 million yuan."

Later After verification, Mr. Wang found that at the end of January this year, most colleagues in the company's technical department violated regulations and made large amounts of cash withdrawals, causing the capital chain to break. The upper-level leaders have already prepared for the escape, including changing the legal person and a series of operations.

According to Tianyancha APP, on May 27, 2019, the legal representative and chairman of the company changed from Luo Ming to Chen Jinling. On December 3, 2020, the company’s legal person and chairman were changed from Chen Jinling to Zhuang Shengyong.

As the situation developed, more facts emerged. It was discovered that the company was listed as a person subject to execution on October 13, 2020, with an execution target of 16,518 yuan. On November 13, 2020, the company’s former legal person Chen Jinling was included in a consumption restriction order.

After seeing this, everyone understands that "Xuncaoji" is just a pyramid scheme company!

"Xuncao Ji" takes advantage of consumers' desire to take advantage of it, using slogans such as "0 yuan purchase" and "cash back", as well as using the name of listed companies to make consumers relax their vigilance, thereby allowing consumers to relax their vigilance. The person was deceived step by step.

The amount of money is getting bigger and bigger. According to the platform rules, if the average consumption per person is tens of thousands, then the amount of money defrauded by thousands of people will reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

In fact, we have heard of many similar fraud methods in society, but the scary thing is that someone will be deceived every time, and what is used is just people's greed and taking advantage...

Senior Brother Yi believes that if there is a pie in the sky, there must be a trap underground. When a person is greedy for gain, he is like a fish that has forgotten the hook, only for profit without caring about anything else, and it seems that he can eat the bait. , in fact, you have stepped into the trap of others, and the gain outweighs the loss!

After all, what seems free is the most expensive!
