Secret Pyramid Selling Tricks: Fabricate Wealth Myth And Forge State Documents

In November 7th, it was only one morning.

The Ningxia public security authorities seized more than 1000 pyramid selling personnel.

The reporter found that pyramid selling activities no longer rely on a specific commodity, but instead changed from the "chain operation" of the physical commodities to the illegal fund-raising of the virtual shares.

Take the "western development" project, which is the most widely used pyramid selling organization in Ningxia, as an example, people on pyramid selling organizations generally lied about "state support for the development of the western region, specially formulated special policies, attracting personnel and funds from the central and eastern region to invest in the west, and stimulating local economic development through consumption".

"Investors" buy a share of 3800 yuan, 10 shares into 33 thousand and 500 yuan.

After buying 10 shares, it will return 6400 yuan as a "salary" in second months, and then get 4460 yuan for each development.

According to the case handling police, the line of pyramid selling organizations often sends "wages" to the offline developers in front of them, and some even issue "welfare" such as rice, flour and oil, so as to induce them to join.

But these rebates are built on the basis of enough downline, and if it is not possible for others to join, it will be difficult to get "wages".

Tao Ping, director of the Commercial Crime Investigation Detachment of the Ministry of public security, said that pyramid selling organizations do not invest in any real economy. Its so-called "capital operation" mode itself is only a "money sharing" game for redistribution of offline pyramid schemes.

In addition, in order to convince developers to convince them of fraud, pyramid sales personnel forge some documents and leaders' speeches as "teaching materials".

In some of the pyramid selling data that the police seized, some of the illegal publications entitled "China's private capital operation and development report" and "interpretation of private capital operation" were publicized in the name of "the Western Development Office of the State Council" and so on to publicize the advantages of "capital operation" and "chain operation".

There are also some documents printed with the word "top secret", which distorts the speeches of leaders of the state on "the development of the western region".

In addition to the "western development" project, there are various forms of pyramid selling activities everywhere, such as "human resources project" and "old-age insurance", and most pyramid selling activities no longer restrict personal freedom and pay more attention to mental control.

According to the police, with the lowering of the threshold of business registration, there are signs that some companies are engaging in pyramid selling activities.

Enhancement of anti reconnaissance capability of pyramid selling organizations

Through continuous and unremitting propaganda and attack, pyramid selling activities have been curbed to a certain extent. However, in the years of "fighting" between industry and commerce, public security and other departments, pyramid selling activities have undergone minor changes in organizational structure, form and personnel, making it harder to fight.

In 2012, police in central Wei city of Ningxia cracked a case of pyramid selling involving a large number of people involved in the case. A successful handbook which only used by senior salesmen was seized by the investigators. It shows that this pyramid selling organization has formed a relatively complete theoretical system, and has its own organizational plan, organizational principles and discipline requirements.

Gao Huaibao, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Central Public Security Bureau of Ningxia, said that pyramid selling organizations called for the organization of personnel to establish "three concepts", namely the concept of honor and disgrace, the concept of wolf and the concept of competition. They also formulated "discipline" in order to obey the command and obey the arrangement as the main content.

As for pyramid selling personnel, more and more young people and highly educated people are involved in pyramid selling activities.

In the recent "university student lost contact" incident, some college students lost their connection because they joined the pyramid selling organization.

In October of this year, Yinchuan police seized a pyramid selling dens and rescued a group of college students who were trapped in pyramid selling organizations. Among them, two students from Sichuan were sent by the media micro-blog account.

The rate of arrest is high, and the rate of judgement is low.

During the interview, some grass-roots anti pyramid sales staff thought that various departments to crack down on pyramid selling had not yet formed a resultant force, which made the strike action inefficient.

In Guyuan, Ningxia, the public security department had detained more than 50 people in a pyramid selling case, and the procuratorate also arrested more than 50 people. However, in the court decision stage, only 10 people were sentenced for lack of evidence.

"The rate of arrest is high and the rate of judgement is low, which is very unfavorable to the Procuratorate's work assessment.

Since then, the procuratorate has been cautious about the arrest of suspected pyramid schemes, which has a direct impact on the work of public security departments.

A grass-roots police officer said.

A lot of people who crack down on pyramid selling think that the standard of evidence for conviction of pyramid selling crime, which is currently required by law, must be provided with 30 pcripts, which is difficult to achieve in practical work.

They suggested that the relevant legal system should be perfected, so as to establish a complete chain of evidence without any other evidence such as pyramid selling organization chart, capital paction documents and other evidence.

This requires relevant departments to properly communicate and form a consensus.

In addition, aiming at

Tao Ping and Gao Huaibao believe that the vast majority of pyramid selling activities are renting residential quarters as the dens. We should fully mobilize grass-roots forces such as the public and neighborhood committees to carry out community joint policing work. In particular, we should strengthen the management of rental housing and floating population, establish information liaison officers and reward system in security, doormen and ordinary residents, and eradicate the soil generated by pyramid schemes.
