Query method:
1. Log in to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, and enter any one of enterprise name, unified social credit code and registration number in the search box.
2, check the specific content, found abnormal situation.
Second, see if the website is formal.
Query method:
1. Log in to the ICP/IP address/domain name information filing management system of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and click "Public * * * Query" in the lower right corner.
2. Click: record information query.
3. Then enter any conditions such as website name, website domain name, homepage URL, filing/license number, IP address, etc.
Third, see if the institution is legal.
Many MLM and fraud companies claim that the leaders of some institutions attach great importance to them and visit them many times to defraud their trust. In fact, whether it is a government department or a public institution, its establishment needs to be approved by the editorial office. We can check it through two websites.
1. Inquire about the national prefix institutions, including the State Council administrative institutions and their central vertical management institutions and agencies, institutions directly under the State Council, and institutions affiliated to the State Council departments.
2. Check with local institutions. Including local administrative organs and institutions that have issued "website logos" after peer review.
Fourth, look at whether social organizations are formal.
Many directors and general managers of pyramid schemes and fraud companies always like to give themselves the titles of several national prefix associations or invite them to visit the company. According to the Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Social Organizations, social organizations in China need to register with the civil affairs department. So we can determine whether it is a regular army or a knockoff by inquiring whether it is registered.
Query method:
1, go to the website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In the lower right corner, you can find the national social organization inquiry (registered in the Ministry of Civil Affairs) and the local social organization inquiry (registered in the local civil affairs department).
2. When querying social organizations with the country as the prefix, you can enter the national social organizations to query, and enter the name of the social organization or the social credit code.
3. When querying local social organizations, you can enter local social organizations to query and enter the name to get the results. At present, there are many social organizations and societies in China. You can find many "surprises" through this website. You can try if you don't believe me.
5. See if there is a credit code.
Unified social credit code is the identification code of legal persons and other social organizations. Like a citizen's personal identity card, it is 18 digits, and it is unique. Enterprises, individual industrial and commercial households, institutions, organs, social organizations and other organizations registered in China have unique social credit codes. Therefore, if you master this tool, you can easily inquire about various institutions, social organizations and companies.
Query method:
1. You can log in to the national unified social credit code information verification system and enter any one of the three conditions of unified social credit code, organization name and organization registered address.
Sixth, see if the patent is true.
A patent is a document issued by a government agency or a regional organization to record the contents of an invention. In China, there are three kinds of patents: inventions, utility models and designs. China National Intellectual Property Administration is a specialized agency responsible for national patent work and coordinating foreign-related intellectual property affairs. Many MLM fraud companies flaunt that they have mastered a number of national patents, so as to establish their corporate image, which can be tested by China National Intellectual Property Administration's comprehensive service platform.
Query method:
1. Enter China National Intellectual Property Administration Integrated Service Platform and you will find two entrances. The first is the patent search and analysis portal (/). Patent data of 103 countries, regions and organizations can be retrieved through this portal, covering data of China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, the European Patent Office and the World Intellectual Property Organization. After simple registration, enter the patent number in the regular search to query. You can also search for other criteria through advanced search. The second portal is "Patent Search Portal of Other Countries". After clicking enter, you can directly enter the patent websites of the United States, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the World Property Organization for special search.
Seven, see if it belongs to direct sales?
Direct selling means that independent marketers directly introduce products and services to consumers in places other than fixed retail stores (such as personal residences, workplaces or other places) to market consumer goods. According to China's "Regulations on Direct Selling Management" and Announcement No.72 of the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in 2005, the products sold by direct selling enterprises only include cosmetics, health food, cleaning products, health care equipment and small kitchen utensils. If you exceed this range and say that you are a direct seller, you can basically conclude that there is a problem.
Inquiry method: Go to the website of direct selling industry management of the Ministry of Commerce, and enter keywords on the left to inquire about direct selling enterprises and products.
Eight, see if it has been tried by the court.
According to the "Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on People's Courts Publishing Judgment Documents on the Internet", the effective judgment documents of people's courts at all levels in China shall be published on China Judgment Documents Network. Because many MLM companies have branches in various places, we can help to judge the legitimacy of the company by inquiring whether the company has been tried by other courts.
Inquiry method: Log in to China Judgment Document Network and enter any conditions such as company name, party name, court name and lawyer name.
The above eight methods can be used to help judge whether a company is suspected of pyramid selling and fraud, but even if a company passes all the above tools at the same time, it does not mean that its business behavior is completely legal. The most fundamental way to avoid falling into pyramid schemes and fraud is to improve their cognitive level and their ability to prevent and identify fraud.
