Severely crack down on micro-business fraud to avoid the proliferation of online pyramid schemes

With the rapid development of wireless Internet, the functions of mobile intelligent systems are becoming increasingly powerful, and micro-business as a Brand new business models have also emerged. The unique advantages of micro-business have brought unlimited business opportunities and promoted economic and social development. However, we must also be clearly aware that behind the popularity of micro-business there are many hidden dangers, serious infringement of user rights and even leading some businesses to commit crimes. adverse phenomena. There are several main problems in the development of micro-business:

1. There is an endless stream of micro-business fraud. Micro-business should be part of online business activities, but its high-flow characteristics make it difficult for government supervision to be implemented, and APP operators are powerless, resulting in micro-business having many hidden dangers since its birth.

2. Wechat businesses can easily fall into pyramid schemes. Some illegal merchants slightly package a low-cost product (or service), distribute it through layers of agents, increase the price layer by layer, and sell it at a price of more than ten times or even hundreds of times, and agents at each level need to go up. The first level pays agency fees, which range from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

3. Agents at all levels no longer make profits through product sales, but turn to the collection of agency fees. Even after many people understand the truth about micro-business, they are unable to extricate themselves due to profit-driven, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of MLM.

4. Micro-business provides circulation channels for counterfeit and shoddy products. On the one hand, on the micro-business platform, various "high imitation" and "A-grade goods" products are blatantly popular, violating national intellectual property laws and causing damage to the rights and interests of legitimate merchants.

5. On the other hand, because most micro-business companies have adopted a multi-level agency distribution system, in order to maintain distribution profits at all levels, manufacturers are forced to continuously lower production costs, making it difficult to guarantee product quality. Some illegal merchants, in order to obtain high profits, simply produce fake and shoddy products and "three noes" products to deceive consumers.

6. The above phenomenon occurs, on the one hand, because the relevant national laws and regulations are not perfect, which makes some illegal merchants emboldened; on the other hand, because the micro-business platform providers have not taken effective measures. Management methods have given some illegal businesses an opportunity. To this end, it is recommended that the government take the following measures to deal with it.

7. Tax micro-businesses. Unify the tax burden on micro-business across the country and require all enterprises and individuals operating on micro-business platforms to obtain legal business procedures, go through tax registration, and pay taxes in accordance with regulations. This move will help reduce tax evasion, thoroughly investigate the sources of counterfeit and shoddy goods, and effectively prevent fraud by unscrupulous merchants.

8. Improve laws and regulations related to micro-business. In view of the characteristics of micro-business, the management measures for micro-business practitioners have been introduced to clarify the respective legal responsibilities of platform operators, product providers and micro-business agents in the process of micro-business operations. Micro-business platform operators are required to upgrade their systems, supervise micro-business behavior through technical means, and stop and punish illegal business behaviors.
