CCTV News: According to the website of the Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau, recently, the Shenzhen Securities Regulatory Bureau has noticed that some criminals have carried out illegal activities under the name of buying wine and sending investment consulting services, buying wine and sending company original shares, etc. There are two common tricks for this type of scam.

Routine one thing, buy wine and get stock recommendations. First of all, criminals create investment expert personality through self-media platforms such as Douyin and Kuaishou and promote investment "records". Subsequently, criminals pulled the victims into the stock group, and many "stock investors" in the group were following the "teachers" and "experts" to buy stocks and claiming to make money. Soon a teacher assistant contacted him and said that he could join the teacher's VIP group by purchasing designated high-priced wine. The teacher would send a lot of stocks in the group to help everyone make money, and he would soon make money. After the victim buys alcohol and joins the group, he often fails to make money and loses seriously.

Routine 2: Buy wine and get stocks. Criminals promote alcohol products through Internet and offline activities. These wines are inflated and are usually not commonly circulated on the market. Illegal personnel exaggerate the appreciation space and collection value of promised products, and some even provide free storage and storage services. The criminals used the acquisition of original shares of the winery as an inducement and claimed that the company was operating mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, listing abroad, or promised generous returns, to lure victims to buy a large number of wine products. After the victim transfers the money, he or she may receive a so-called equity gift or equity transfer agreement, or receive an unknown liquor.

Because buying alcohol is a purchase of goods, the victim found that he was cheated and had many difficulties in protecting his rights. Many criminals have carried out scams through the Internet, committing crimes and even hiding abroad. Some of the companies involved have been vacant after the incident, while others have no physical operations at all, and it is difficult to recover the fraudulent funds.
