What is the scam of jewelry lottery in shopping mall? 1 Is it true that the jewelry was lottery in the mall?

Most of this is not true, but the routine of counter merchants, and this routine has existed for several years, so people who have been "fooled" have always been there. Everyone in the lucky draw is the first prize. Don't think you have taken advantage. In fact, all you get is a poor fake. It may not be fake, but the quality is poor.

Although the price of their jewelry looks very valuable, in fact, the price is basically raised with cheap jewelry. The most important thing is that the words "1000 yuan reduction" and "1% discount" are written, which feels that consumers have picked up a big bargain. There seems to be no problem, but consumers often go to the store with curiosity and fall into a scam.

Some unscrupulous merchants will also make huge profits by confusing the fake with the real, and unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of this shoddy. Phenomenon is everywhere. It won't be long before you find that the store doesn't exist, only the container has no goods and sales staff, or it has been subletted to other businesses.

What are the routines for shopping mall lottery?

1. After winning the first prize, several salespeople expressed surprise.

"What a coincidence!

No one has won the first prize for a long time!

We only have 1000 first prize! "

In fact, there were too many first prizes, so I took them casually.

2. The salesman took out the pre-filled documents, showing that others had spent thousands of dollars for it. Now you can buy it at a discount or just pay the appraisal fee, as long as a few hundred, which is very cost-effective.

In fact, in this kind of counter sales, whether it is "gold inlaid jade" or "jade pendant", the cost is very low, less than 100 yuan, and there is no technical value or income.

According to the netizen Mr. Qin, yesterday (August 13), his father also encountered this problem, and he also bought a discounted jade. According to Mr. Qin, his father went to a newly opened gold, silver and jade shop near Ludi Road Department Store on August 3rd, at a price of 1000 yuan. Is this "grand prize" so good? According to industry sources, the lottery ticket used for the lucky draw is likely to be tampered with.

The lottery tickets that can "win" are put together, and the winning rate is basically 100%. After the consumer "wins the prize", the store will change again, and the lottery ticket that cannot win the prize will be drawn again, which proves the difficulty of "winning the prize". Here, the business pot also reminds consumers that if they encounter the situation of "buying lottery tickets" in shopping malls, they must be vigilant, especially when buying jade products, try to go to regular large jewelry stores and recognize the details of the goods.

In addition, special attention should be paid to whether there is an appraisal certificate issued by a state authority. Even discounted goods should be provided with formal invoices. Once the goods are found to have problems, it is necessary to keep good evidence to complain to the Consumers Association.

"It happened that' luck' broke out and won the grand prize. They can buy' high-end' jade jewelry for a few hundred yuan.

As everyone knows, there may be a scam carefully designed by the merchants behind this lottery mode.

A box is full of "first prize"

Recently, Xixia Branch of Yinchuan Municipal Market Supervision Administration of Ningxia received a report from netizens that a jewelry store used lottery to trick consumers into buying jewelry, and law enforcement officers immediately went to investigate.

When they arrived at the mall, law enforcement officers saw the cashier in the mall handing out free gift certificates to customers who came to check out. Customers can get free gifts such as masks and cotton swabs at the counter of designated jewelry stores with gift certificates, and they can also draw prizes for free.

After two law enforcement officers pretended that customers received gifts, the jewelry store guide took out a lottery box from under the counter, and one law enforcement officer drew a "thank you for your patronage". The tour guide put the lottery box back and took it out for another law enforcement officer to draw. This time, he won the first prize.

The shopping guide said excitedly, "You are so lucky. The first prize is one in a thousand. " Then start selling, buy jewelry at a 10% discount or only charge 10% manual fee, and show the appraisal certificate of jewelry and jade jewelry to ensure "absolute authenticity".

Law enforcement officers immediately identified themselves when they found suspicious. When they entered the counter, they found two lottery boxes, one of which was a "thank you for your patronage" lottery and the other was a "first prize" lottery. "Shopping guides look at people's' dishes'. When customers are single, they will take out the' first prize' lottery box, and many people will alternately take out two lottery boxes to create the illusion of lottery. " Li Tingdong, a law enforcement officer of Xixia Branch of Yinchuan Municipal Market Supervision Administration, said.

At the same time, law enforcement officers also seized nine sales orders at the scene, with a sales amount of more than 6,000 yuan, all of which were orders for lottery sales in recent days.

There used to be a shop on Nanjing East Road.

Deceive people with a "winning" scam

As early as 20 16, 10 and 18, Shangguan journalists had exposed that Nanjing East Road 189 was suspected of selling goods in the form of false prize sales in the process of jewelry management.

At that time, Miss Liu, a tourist from Jiangxi Province, reported to the "12345" citizen service hotline and Shangguan News that she had encountered a "winning scam" in a jewelry store on Nanjing East Road during the National Day holiday. The so-called "lucky draw" is a gimmick, that is, to trick you into spending money on jade and jade articles that are not worth much.

Miss Liu told the reporter about her winning experience. 65438+1late at night on October 5th 10: 30, after visiting the Bund with her friends, she walked back to Nanjing East Road and took the subway. On the way, when I passed the shop named "Jewelry Craft Gifts" on Nanjing East Road 189, I saw small ornaments for sale in the shop. Miss Liu called her friend into the shop. Later, Miss Liu spent more than RMB 100 and bought several bracelets.

After the payment, the clerk pointed to a pile of scraped lottery tickets on the plate on the counter and told her that those who spent in the store could participate in the lucky draw held in the store, and there were good gifts in the lucky draw. The clerk then took out an untouched lottery ticket and said that there were two first prizes and 1 special prizes in this pile of tickets, so that Miss Liu could take one to try her luck. Miss Liu picked up a piece on the spot and scraped it open. The card says "All your wishes will come true". The clerk suddenly "exclaimed": "You won the lottery! First prize! " Miss Liu's friend saw it and drew one on the spot, but the result was "Thank you for your patronage".

After repeatedly praising Miss Liu's luck, the clerk introduced to Miss Liu that according to the rules, the first prize can be "selected from two pieces of jewelry in the store, and only the jewelry processing fee is charged, which is charged at 65438+ 0.2 fold of the original price". Miss Liu was very happy, and then she chose two jade necklaces at the price of 1 1,000 yuan, and paid 1 after the discount, 400 yuan.

After returning to the hotel, Ms. Liu, who calmed down, took photos and invited people to see the jade she bought. The other party actually said that she was cheated. These are "low-end goods" and worthless.

101October 17, the reporter went to Nanjing East Road 189 to learn about the situation. There are waves of tourists in the shop. The counter in the middle sells all kinds of small commodities, while the glass counters around it are all kinds of jewelry with thousands of prices. The reporter noticed that there is a plate on each jewelry glass counter, which is covered with scratched lottery tickets, mostly "thank you for your patronage". In addition, there are various promotional signs hanging in the store, such as "10% discount", "198 yuan" and so on.

The routine is exactly the same as the scam above. There are two unopened lottery tickets hidden under the counter: one is "Thank you for your patronage" and the other is "All your wishes come true". In other words, the shop assistant's so-called lottery is purely a cover. If the clerk serves a dish that is "all one's wishes come true", the customer will definitely win the "first prize".

It is understood that another dish, "Thank you for your patronage", is to make it convenient for many people to use it in the lucky draw at the same time and avoid "factionalism". In addition, there are no other awards such as the so-called "grand prize" for jade jewelry.

At that time, the market supervision department filed an investigation on its operator "Shanghai Haotian Footwear Co., Ltd. Huangpu Branch". Nanjing East Road Market Supervision and Management Office will continue to strengthen the supervision of operators in Nanjing Road and its surrounding areas to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

False sales with prizes belong to fraud.

In fact, this scam of luring consumers to buy "high-value" goods by means of "lottery" and "scratch prize" has been staged frequently all over the country in recent years, and jewelry and jade shops and craft gift shops are the "hardest hit areas".

"This winning routine is very confusing." Li Tingdong said that jade jewelry is expensive and most people will buy it rationally. Some operators seize people's psychology of winning, making consumers mistakenly think that they have gained benefits and have impulsive consumption.

"For regular prize-winning sales, the number of awards should be reasonable, the type of awards, exchange conditions, bonus amount, etc. It should be publicized in the mall. " Li Tingdong said that at present, according to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Anti-Unfair Competition, law enforcement officers temporarily detained 26 pieces of jewelry. The case has been filed and is under further investigation.

Lawyer Fu of Ningxia Jiarui Law Firm told the reporter that according to the law, if an operator commits fraud, he should "refund one and compensate three" to consumers, that is, refund and compensate according to three times the price of goods purchased or the cost of receiving services. At the same time, if the sales with false prizes are suspected of unfair competition, the operator may be fined between 50,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan by the administrative department.

How to protect consumer rights?

Jade jewelry is different from ordinary goods, and its pricing range is large, which is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish. Insiders told reporters that the jade promoted by many merchants is indeed real jade, but the grade is low, which is inconsistent with the selling price. It is difficult for consumers to ask for a return due to quality problems, which gives some businesses an opportunity. In addition, after enjoying the "discount", you usually only need to pay a few hundred yuan. Some consumers are afraid of trouble and will not pursue it, so they can only eat dumb losses.

Ha Huaying, chief of the complaint reporting center of Ningxia Market Supervision Department, reminded consumers that the most important thing is to be vigilant and not to fall into the trap because of greed. "After purchase, you should keep the consumption vouchers, including electronic certificate such as WeChat payment. If you suspect that there are fictitious prices and false sales with prizes, you can call the hotline 123 15 in time to complain and report, and relevant departments will investigate and deal with it.
