Revealing the scam of ＂short video window with goods＂

"Rapidly increasing traffic" and "getting more money every day" are all gimmicks to reveal the "short video window with goods" scam.

Nowadays, short-sighted band goods are very popular, and many people also have the idea of live broadcast with goods. Some criminal gangs use short video accounts to operate teaching packages, and cutting a video can quickly increase traffic and make more money, laying a scam.

Fictitious traffic success stories trick users into buying high-priced packages.

Xiao Gan of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province fell into the trap. Xiao Gan bought a set meal from a so-called short-sighted band cargo team and successfully opened a window and set up a small shop online. So, can he get the benefits he expects?

Victim Xiao Gan: After buying it back, I found it very difficult to study the course. As long as I bought their more advanced package, I didn’t need to operate it. Someone would help me to run this account, send videos and run my window. I thought at that time that I had paid more than 2,000 yuan, and if I could really reach that income, I could. Then I bought an upgrade package, totaling more than 9000.

However, this so-called short-sighted band cargo team’s promise to Xiao Gan is in great contrast with reality.

Victim Xiao Gan: At the beginning, the account did have a little profit, but not much. Then I asked him, and they gave me a lot of reasons to say that the market was not good.

Xiao Gan, who realized that something was wrong, began to contact the other party to refund the money. However, I didn’t expect the other party to change his previous enthusiasm and refused Xiao Gan’s request very strongly.

Victim Xiao Gan: They said that we signed the contract. If we signed the contract, I was helping you run it, but the effect could not be fully predicted. I thought I should have been cheated, so I called the police for help.

Xu Maofu, a policeman of the Criminal Police Brigade of shenzhen public Longhua Branch: These effects promised by them in the contract have not been realized at all so far, and the marketing means are in line with the situation of fraud.

The investigation shows that this group has great suspicion of fraud, and the main criminal of the gang is Zhong. So what is the actual operation of this gang? After investigation by the police, they found that the company was located in an office building in Longhua District, Shenzhen, and the division of labor among gang members was very clear.

Xu Maofu, a policeman of the Criminal Police Brigade of shenzhen public Longhua Branch: One is the sales department, the other is the operation department, the other is the after-sales department, and the last is the teaching department, which is composed of these four departments. Sales is responsible for attracting customers, and the operation is to help these victims run his online shop, but in fact they don’t know how to operate, so the company doesn’t need many people in this area, mainly in the sales department. Their employees go to work like normal employees. You can’t tell from the appearance that this is a fraud company.

After grasping the conclusive evidence, the police handling the case decided to arrest the criminal gang.

Xu Maofu, a policeman of the Criminal Police Brigade of Longhua Branch of shenzhen public: On July 20th, a net-closing operation was launched, and 45 people were arrested in total. At present, the funds involved in the case have been frozen to more than 3 million yuan.

After the suspect arrived, the police decided that this was a new type of fraud case. However, the criminal suspect’s fraud method is very similar to the online shop fraud that occurred frequently many years ago, and it is a brand-new deformation of online shop fraud.

Chen Zhuowei, a policeman of the Criminal Police Brigade of shenzhen public Longhua Branch: In the drainage stage, they will promote their company on some short video platforms, so that some people can watch these short videos and think that this company is very powerful.

After the victims pay the first sum of money, the suspects will induce these victims to continue to invest.

Xu Maofu, a policeman of the Criminal Police Brigade of Longhua Branch of shenzhen public: The initial amount is more than 2,000, and it can be upgraded to 9,800 later, and the highest one can be upgraded to the flagship version of 26,800 yuan. They will say that you have invested more than 2,000 yuan at present, and how many fans you have, and then a video broadcast may also exceed 10,000. He said that only when you invest more money can you achieve better operational results. Some victims often hold on to it. Since they have invested some money and hope to make greater profits, they think it is better to gamble again.

However, no matter how invested, the goods in the victim’s short video window can never reach the sales volume advocated by the criminal suspect.

Xu Maofu, a policeman of the Criminal Police Brigade of Longhua Branch of shenzhen public: When the victim felt cheated, he expressed strong dissatisfaction, and even when he wanted to call the police to defend his rights, they were forced to find their own employees to buy his products for the corresponding victims and make some sales, and then asked the company to make some fake fans and make some broadcasts to stabilize the victim.

At present, the suspect involved in the case has been criminally detained by the public security organs according to law, and the case is under further investigation. The police reminded that we must be vigilant about online projects that promise high returns and get rich quickly.
