CCTV News:Recently (June 13), the reporter learned from the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department that the Zigong police in Sichuan cracked a mega-network pyramid scheme at the end of March this year, and according to statistics, 640,000 people were recruited.
He Mou, the chairman of Fanren Maker E-commerce Co., Ltd., created an APP software called Fanren E-commerce in 2015. His main business is to develop merchants and customers, publicize merchants and let customers go to merchants for consumption.
The criminal suspect He confessed: "The customer is introduced to the merchant for consumption, and the merchant gives us a certain rebate. How many merchants will be returned according to his investment, according to his operating costs, according to his profit level, and then we will determine for ourselves. Return it to our company’s system, and then we return it to consumers. For example, if the merchant has 10 yuan for one point, if you buy a product with 100 yuan, he (the merchant) will accumulate 10 points (for the platform). "
According to He, usually one point is equal to 30 cents. Merchants pay their companies according to the number of points, and then they return two-thirds of the money to their customers.
In addition, merchants need to pay the membership fee from 580 yuan and customers need to pay the membership fee from 30 yuan to join the mortal maker e-commerce platform. If customers continue to develop offline, they can get about one-third of the points.
He said that customers can withdraw cash with points, but if the amount of points withdrawn is less than 50 yuan, this point cannot be withdrawn, and the points should be cleared every month. Therefore, if customers want to earn back their 30 yuan money, they must go offline or go to businesses to spend money in exchange for points.
It is to use consumer rebates and membership rebates to lure customers to develop offline. Ordinary makers have developed a total of 640,000 members, involving more than 40 million yuan.
Liang Hui, a policeman from Ziliujing Branch of Zigong Public Security Bureau, Sichuan Province, said: "Ordinary e-commerce companies have set up a pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid pyramid pyramid-like pyramid-like pyramid
According to the police, at present, the customers of Fanren Maker Company have grown to 118 floors, with a total of 640,000 people. A customer can enjoy the headcount of nearly 80 thousand people on the tenth floor below him at most. Gao told reporters that there is another way for the company to attract membership. If a customer doesn’t want to pay the membership fee of 30 yuan, the company also has a fund-raiser to help fund the membership, but the customer can’t quit in any way, but can only earn points by developing offline or going to a merchant for consumption, and pay back the money by points.
