Overseas Purchasing Traps More "Sea Tao Family" Need To Be Vigilant

Nowadays more and more people choose to buy overseas, but the beautiful looking sea purchase is full of traps.

As a matter of fact, there are endless cases of illegal counterfeiting of famous brands.

Nowadays, many domestic consumers are fond of overseas products. In order to cater for the needs of such consumers, Hai Tao purchasing business came into being.

As long as you click on the mouse, you can buy products from all over the world online, the price is 33% off or even lower than the domestic counters, and sometimes you can buy limited edition abroad. This saving, time-saving and labor-saving shopping way makes many fashion designers enjoy it.

However, the beautiful looking sea purchase is full of traps.

Hai Tao purchasing traps

Not long ago, the Shanghai police destroyed a cross border selling gang. A group of young people born in the 1980s and post-90s sold counterfeit registered trademarks across the Internet. In a few years, their "business" changed from "small workshop" to "big company". The average monthly sales volume reached 2 million yuan, and the total amount involved was as high as 7 billion yuan.

According to the introduction, the criminal gangs selling fake foreign goods include technical department, editorial department, customer service department, promotion department, etc., which can be said to be clear in structure and clear in division of labor.

They rented a server from an information development company in Shanghai, and opened and operated more than 200 fake websites in a business building in Fujian.

After obtaining orders from overseas customers through e-mail and online messages, criminal gangs organize counterfeit brand bags, watches and accessories from Guangdong and Fujian on the other side and pfer them to North Guangdong and other places via courier companies, and then express them to overseas for sale.

The suspect, Muse, said, "we sell it.

Bags, Ray-Ban glasses, Nike shoes, and Tiffany.

We say to customers that this is a factory defective product, and the quality is definitely no problem.

In fact, these so-called international brands are the Shanzhai products they customize from Guangdong and other places.

These cottage brands are exported to more than ten countries, such as the United States and Canada. Although a single product sells for thousands of dollars, there are more than 10 times huge profits.

Even if the other party discovered that it was a fake, the customer service of the group had already prepared a set of statements.

"If there are customers who question the sale, we will refund 10% or 20% of the money, because it is international freight, and it is very troublesome to withdraw or withdraw. Customers will generally accept a refund, and then no longer complain."

Miao Mou says.

As a matter of fact, there are endless cases of illegal counterfeiting of famous brands.

Among them, shopping for friends is also the worst hit area for selling counterfeit products.

Miss Qiao, a victim, is a micro dealer who sells merchandise information through WeChat's circle of friends. Through micro-blog search, ID catches her eye for the buyer of "pony France".

Zhao, who claims to be studying in France, said he could buy luxury goods abroad at a low price.

On the night when the two sides reached long-term cooperation intentions, there was "customer" who contacted Miss Qiao and paid a deposit of 5000 yuan. Miss Qiao immediately contacted the French buyer.

Over the next few days, the "customer" kept in touch with Miss Joe, who asked for the purchase of designer shoes and paid the relevant deposit. Miss Qiao also gave the order to the buyer who was known to be from France.

Subsequently, the French buyer lost contact with him, and the "customer" disappeared. Miss Qiao, who wanted to make several large lists, realized that he had stepped into the trap of others.

"The suspect used three mobile phones at the time, and then three micro signals. At the same time, he contacted the victim, as if he were singing a double spring, both a buyer and a seller."

Police officer Wang, who handled the case, said.

Online shopping fake industry chain

Overseas purchasing as a special mode of sale is favored by consumers. Quality and low price are the key elements of their success.

However, with the continuous expansion of the network purchasing market, in order to get a slice of it, some fake shopping in troubled waters and shoddy shopping are also quietly produced.

It is understood that, with the popularity of overseas brands, the secret industry has already spawned a complete grey industrial chain of imitation, publicity, sale and after sale.

Some so-called "genuine products" are often "homemade products" which are "high quality" imitation products, including even original small bills and invoices, which make consumers impossible to guard against.

After 3 years in Korea, "Miss 80" buyer Yang told reporters: "after knowing that China has such a large market demand, some people began to produce fake products in China, and then sent them back to Korea through the Korean customs, and then gave them to China from some Korean wholesalers."

The small ticket was once regarded as the best credential for consumers to avoid counterfeit goods, but in Miss Yang's view, overseas shopping tickets are not "lightning rod". Even if they own, they can not ensure that one hundred percent of the purchased goods are genuine. "As far as I know, the dialogue between buyers and sellers can now be made by machines, and there will be a one-stop service such as small ticket counters."

Qu Weifang, chief engineer of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau's network security corps, also confirmed Miss Yang's speculation. He said: "there is indeed an industrial chain in cybercrime, from stealing passwords from citizens by hackers, selling stolen passwords on the Internet, and then applying these passwords to network fraud, including corresponding supporting tools and the above said small ticket fraud."

The legal and regulatory system needs to be perfected.

The existence of "Hai Tao" race is determined by the domestic consumption environment, such as unfair pricing mechanism, imperfect tax system, psychological demands of consumers, and low-level imitation of domestic products.

Despite these problems, the business model of "Hai Tao" will continue to prevail for a long time because the environment has not yet reached the critical point of qualitative change.

So, how can we happily "sea wash"? The industry believes that to solve the many problems existing in the purchase of Hai Tao, we need the joint efforts of consumers, micro dealers and trading platforms.

First of all, whether it is "Hai Tao" or "micro business", it often falls into the "purchasing trap".

In addition, in the view of the Korean buyer, Miss Yang, another reason is the asymmetry of information.

"A friend often comes to me and asks me about a product that is very popular in Korea. Has it been sold? Is it a price? But I have never seen it in Korea."

In fact, it is precisely because of this asymmetry of information that some purchasing agents package the products that have never appeared in foreign markets, and sell them to domestic consumers as overseas brands.

Therefore, "

"To raise vigilance is the key. In addition to looking at the promotional pictures, we should also pay attention to the sources of goods, choose the certified micro dealers, and promptly ask for bills after shopping, and refuse to bypass the" private "pactions of the public numbers.

Secondly, micro dealers need to regulate their own behavior, and as WeChat's Internet trading platform, they must improve their access threshold, and improve their regulatory and regulatory measures.

For example, the application of "micro business" account needs to submit all kinds of formalities, pay the quality guarantee, and permit the operation of platform certification after compliance.

Cai Hua, co-founder of the famous cross border electricity supplier "ocean wharf", said that a series of step by step certification, such as physical addresses and personal bills provided by buyers all over the world, is the first barrier to guarantee.

In addition, under the supervision of the platform, the overseas legal system is also a "umbrella".

Cai Hua said: "foreign countries have a sound legal and regulatory system, which can help consumers to investigate overseas buyers' responsibility through foreign laws, so that they can be punished by law.

Under the strict legal supervision system abroad, every buyer is very clear about his responsibilities and obligations.

In China, there is no perfect supervision system for overseas purchasing, and the factors such as the opacity of purchasing process, the low truthfulness of registration information, and the false information cover people's eyes are actually still in the vacuum zone of supervision.

Therefore, it is imperative to improve relevant laws and regulatory systems.
