A few days ago, after careful investigation, Shanghai public security organs successfully destroyed a pyramid scheme den. Twenty people, including Wang, the main member of the gang, have been criminally detained by the public security organs according to law on suspicion of organizing and leading pyramid schemes.
2065438+On August 8, 2007, Jinshan Public Security Bureau received a report from a man, Li, saying that he was cheated to Jinshan and was forced to buy cosmetics for 44,800 yuan, and was later asked to join a pyramid scheme. Li told the police that in June 20 17, 1, when he was playing mobile QQ in his hometown in Jiangxi, a woman who called herself "Chen Jing" added him as a friend. In the following three months, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. After receiving the invitation, Li came to Shanghai Jinshan to further develop relations with her. Who knows, after meeting, I took Li to a rental house. Li found several self-proclaimed colleagues. At this time, tell Li that her real name is Ma Deliang and she is a direct seller of a biotechnology company.
The next two months were like a nightmare for Li Lai. He changed six temporary residences in succession, and his activities were limited to rental houses. Every meal has only potatoes and cabbage, and even people stare at the toilet. Under the intimidation and inducement of the direct seller, Li was forced to buy 16 sets of "Shadow of Time" products at a price of 2800 yuan each, with a total price of ***44800 yuan. Because he had no cash on him, Li was forced to find a reason for his family to remit 50 thousand yuan to his bank card. After giving 44,800 yuan to the salesman, the other party returned 7 150 yuan to Li, and then forced Li to pull relatives and friends in to do business. Li thinks that the so-called girlfriend is not a direct seller at all, but a complete pyramid scheme. She has fallen into the pyramid scheme den, and the only way is to find a way to escape and seek the help of the police as soon as possible. Finally, one night, when the guards in the temporary residence dozed off, Li fled the scene and reported the case to the police.
Subsequently, after preliminary investigation by the police, the task force found that Li was trapped in a jewelry company in Shanghai. In fact, it was a pyramid scheme organization that promoted cosmetics under the banner of a biotechnology company. The registered place was Jinshan, Shanghai, and the company was Wang Moming. Then all the criminals were arrested.
Here, the public security organs remind the general public that in the face of "head-to-head" pyramid schemes, first, we must be clear-headed, do not covet temporary small interests, and do not harm others; Second, if you accidentally enter a pyramid scheme, you should learn to protect yourself and actively seek police assistance. For those who find clues about pyramid schemes in life, I also hope that the public can provide them to the public security and industrial and commercial organs in time, rescue the participants as soon as possible, and assist law enforcement agencies in cracking down on pyramid schemes.
MLM refers to the illegal behavior that organizers and developers calculate and pay remuneration to the developed personnel on the basis of the number or performance of the directly or indirectly developed personnel, or require the developed personnel to obtain the qualification to join on the condition of paying a certain fee. The essence of pyramid selling is "Ponzi scheme", that is, the money of the latecomers is distributed to the income of the pioneers.
