Risk reminders on preventing illegal fund-raising activities during the epidemic prevention and control period

Friends from the general public:

I once thought that the virus was far away from us, but inadvertently, the new coronavirus The virus is suddenly around us, the city is no longer noisy and bustling, and the roads are no longer busy with traffic. While we are pressing the "life static button", criminals are using WeChat groups, QQ groups, Douyin, Weibo and other channels to carry out illegal fund-raising activities more actively. They take advantage of the masses' eagerness to "make money" , promising high rebates, regular dividends, capital guarantee and no risk, and absorbing funds from the public, resulting in the participants losing their money and suffering heavy losses.

Illegal fund-raising is an illegal and criminal act that is expressly prohibited by national law and severely cracked down on. Participants shall be solely responsible for any losses suffered while participating in illegal fund-raising. The general public is requested to enhance their legal awareness and risk awareness, choose formal financial institutions for investment and financial management, and beware of illegal fund-raising traps.

2. How to Prevent Illegal Fund Raising

Beware of Traps

The "Look Four, Think, Think and Wait One Night" Method to Prevent Illegal Fund Raising

1. Look around. When looking at the legality of financing, in addition to whether it has obtained a business license, it also depends on whether it has obtained relevant financial licenses or been approved by the financial management department. Second, look at the promotional content to see if it contains or implies content such as "guaranteed, risk-free, high returns, and guaranteed profits without losing any money." Third, look at the business model, whether there are physical projects, the authenticity of the project, the direction of capital investment, the way to obtain profits, etc. Fourth, look at whether the participating fund-raising entities are mainly targeting specific groups such as the elderly.

2. Think twice. Think about whether you really understand the product and market conditions. Second, consider whether the product complies with market rules. Think twice about whether your own economic strength has the ability to resist risks.

3. Wait overnight. When encountering related investment and fund-raising promotions, be sure to avoid being overheated, seek the opinions of family and friends first, and delay making a decision overnight. Don’t blindly believe in propaganda, introductions from acquaintances, and recommendations from experts, and don’t be tempted to invest blindly by high profits.

The "Three Musts and Three Don'ts" to avoid the trap of illegal fund-raising

First, be rational and don't take chances. Pies will not fall from the sky, what will fall is either "traps" or "traps". You must stick to the bottom line of rationality, think about whether you understand it, compare the risks, see whether the level of income is realistic, ask your family and friends what they think, and don’t be blinded by a gambling mentality and a sense of luck!

Second, be steady and don’t take risks. High returns mean high risks, and it may be an investment scam. If you invest once, you will lose all your money! You must reasonably evaluate your own tolerance, prudently determine your willingness to take risks, and do not invest at risk!

Third, be vigilant and don’t blindly invest. . "Rich benefits, attractive conditions, rare opportunities, and limited quotas" are all likely scams. You must be vigilant, vigilant, and more vigilant! Be more cautious and never let the wind be the rain and blindly "follow the crowd" in investing!< /p>
