Answer the subject's question.
First of all,
What is MLM?
MLM criminal activities defined by law should have the following characteristics:
First of all, people are often tricked into participating in business activities, such as selling goods and services.
Second, participants are required to obtain the qualification to join by paying fees or purchasing goods and services.
Third, a hierarchy is formed in a certain order, and the number of development personnel is directly or indirectly used as the basis for remuneration or rebate.
Fourth, the most essential feature of pyramid selling activities lies in its deception. Although pyramid schemes have various names and different internal structures, their similarities lie in taking high returns as bait, controlling the spirit and even the person of the participants, tricking and even forcing their members to constantly develop new members in order to collect membership fees. The "commercial" activities falsely publicized by MLM organizations are simply impossible to maintain the operation of MLM organizations, and some MLM organizations do not even have any actual commercial activities.
Fifth, pyramid selling activities are harmful to society. On the one hand, the organizers and leaders of pyramid schemes use pyramid schemes to defraud participants of a large amount of property, causing great property losses to participants; On the other hand, from the actual situation, most of the people who are cheated to participate in pyramid schemes are farmers, laid-off workers and other low-income people.
Therefore, the relatives of the respondents keep asking for money and borrowing money from their families. Is this MLM? Is there any evidence that he may have been involved in pyramid schemes? Or simply borrow money to gamble? This needs clarification.
Second,
Which department should decide whether it is pyramid selling?
1. According to the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Launching a Special Rectification Action against MLM (Guo Ban Fa [20065438+0] No.80), the administrative department for industry and commerce should continue to intensify the investigation and punishment of pyramid schemes and disguised pyramid schemes, and those suspected of committing crimes should be transferred to the public security organs for handling; ……
2. According to the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding the Opinions of the Administration for Industry and Commerce and other departments on Severely Cracking Down on MLM, disguised pyramid selling and other illegal business activities (Guo Ban Fa [2000] No.55).
1. Under the leadership of the local people, the administration for industry and commerce and the public security organs should cooperate closely, strengthen law enforcement, and severely crack down on illegal business activities such as pyramid selling and disguised pyramid selling under the guise of "agency", "monopoly", "consumer alliance", "network multiplication", "franchise chain", "power marketing" and "rolling promotion". The People's Bank of China and other relevant departments should actively cooperate.
Two, the administrative department for Industry and commerce should take effective measures to resolutely ban the following pyramid schemes or disguised pyramid schemes; If the circumstances are serious and suspected of committing a crime, it shall be transferred to the public security organ, and the organizer shall be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article 225 of the Criminal Law in accordance with judicial procedures:
(1) Operators engage in store-free business activities by developing personnel and organizing networks, and participants get remuneration from offline marketing performance;
(2) Participants obtain the qualification to join, introduce or develop others' participation by paying the membership fee or paying the membership fee in disguised form by subscribing for goods (including services, the same below), and get paid in this way;
(3) The first participant benefits from the fees paid by developing offline members, and the amount of benefits is determined by the order of joining;
(4) The organizer's income mainly comes from the entry fees paid by participants or the fees paid in disguised form by subscribing for commodities;
(five) the organizer will pay part of the expenses paid by the latecomers to pay the remuneration of the latecomers in order to maintain the business;
(six) other personnel engaged in pyramid schemes in disguised form by developing personnel, organizing networks or taking high returns as bait.
Third,
Criteria for filing pyramid selling crimes.
In China's criminal law, there is a clause 1 on the characterization and punishment of "pyramid selling", that is, the crime of organizing and leading pyramid selling activities is one of the 224th articles of the criminal law.
Original law: Article 224-1 of the Criminal Law organizes and leads participants to obtain the qualification to join in the name of selling goods and providing services. And form a hierarchy in a certain order, directly or indirectly using the number of development personnel as the basis for remuneration or rebate, inducing or coercing participants to continue to develop pyramid schemes that others participate in, defrauding property and disrupting economic and social order, they should also be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention and fined. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and fined.
Note that the original text of the law only says that "the hierarchy is formed in a certain order", which lacks uniform standards and operability in practice. Therefore, 20 ... >; & gt
Question 5: Relatives were cheated into pyramid schemes. Is it useful to call the police? It is useful to report to the police. The law of our country severely punishes pyramid schemes, which is also the duty of the police.
Relatives looking for a job are missing and suspected of being cheated into pyramid schemes. The specific method is as follows:
1. If you can only contact by phone, if you have no address or investment, you can try the satellite status of your phone and mobile phone, and take it home after you find someone. If you are brainwashed, you can go online to find information to persuade, or you can ask professional anti-MLM personnel to help you persuade.
2. Those who have no address and have invested have been brainwashed by pyramid schemes. Because it is necessary to attract people after pyramid schemes, invite relatives and friends to do business in the past, etc., then the invited people should not startle them. For example, they can pretend that they don't know what they are doing in MLM, so that they can meet themselves smoothly. After meeting the victims of pyramid schemes, their families should follow them and take them home directly or with the help of the police. After taking it home, you must brainwash it in time, otherwise "people are there, and the heart is in Han", and people will run back. If you go back to MLM, it will be even harder to find someone else.
3. Ask for money from home if you don't invest. In this case, you must never give money. You can also inform your relatives and friends not to lend him money or be invited. Cut off his economy and contacts, so that he can't join MLM. As time goes by, MLM organizations will kick someone out if they want someone of value. There are also many MLM organizations that are afraid that their families will not give money, and they will play kidnapping scenes with newcomers who want to join. They will send photos to their families, call for money, and say that if they don't give money, they will kill the tickets if they don't let people go. If this happens, they can't give money, MLM victims have been brainwashed, and they won't cooperate with their families at all, let alone tell their addresses. This situation is more complicated. Call the police immediately. If they can seek mobile phone location services, they can find people. This "fake kidnapping" phenomenon is the most complicated. Many family members believed it, so they panicked at that time and immediately paid for it. As a result, they killed their relatives and friends.
4. Those who invest money and join the MLM organization and are brainwashed can also find ways to cheat back, such as family illness and car accidents. Attention, acting must be true, don't treat MLM people as fools. After the derailment, you can find information to persuade them, or you can ask professional anti-MLM experts to persuade them face to face to wake them up.
5. For those who invest money, are brainwashed, don't know the location, don't know how to persuade, and die-hard pyramid sellers and their families, they can also cut off the financial resources of pyramid sellers through constant changes, such as freezing their bank card numbers, and informing their relatives and friends not to lend him/her money.
6. If you know the MLM location, your family can go directly to the MLM den and bring it back. You can find information to persuade after you come back. Just because you come back doesn't mean you're safe. It is also important to change your mind when you come back. Otherwise, you are in Han. Anti-pyramid selling and anti-brainwashing work is aimed at the stubborn ideas of pyramid sellers.
