Is it true that securities companies open accounts to give gifts?

Say that someone you know is a broker of a securities company. The gift money for opening an account is paid by the bank, because the bank has to complete the business of three-party depository. So there is no problem in the whole process. But in this case, the commission for opening an account is relatively high, which is generally five to ten times that of opening an account online. So I suggest you open an account online, or talk to your broker about the commission before you operate.
