Today, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the State Administration for Financial Regulation, the Ministry of Public Security, and the State Administration for Market Regulation issued tips on further preventing fraud risks in the field of "cloud-raising economy".
In recent years, illegal and criminal activities in the field of "cloud farming economy" have been widely reported. Some criminals have packaged normal agricultural product breeding and sales into investment and financing activities under the guise of developing the agricultural industry, and used the Internet to promote it, engage in illegal and criminal activities, infringe on the legitimate interests of the public and damage the healthy development of the agricultural industry.
The fraud activities in the field of "cloud breeding economy" have three main characteristics:
First, using "agriculture + technology" as a gimmick, hype hot spots such as pastoral life, organic ecology, and smart agriculture, forged video pictures of breeding and planting to fabricate or exaggerate the actual production scenarios, and claimed to be low-risk and high-yield, but the real business model is difficult to support its promised returns;
Second, the Internet attributes are strong, and criminals rely on the Internet and mobile applications to carry out operations, and collect and pay funds through online payment tools. The risks are wide and spread quickly, and it is difficult to supervise funds and track funds;
Third, there are many illegal and criminal risks. The criminals use breeding and breeding income dividends, agricultural and special product return as bait to attract the public to invest funds, and some induce participants to develop personnel to join, continuously expand the fund pool, and are suspected of illegal fundraising, pyramid schemes and other illegal and criminal activities.
The agricultural industry cycle is long and the profit margin is limited. We will improve our awareness of prevention of risks related to the "cloud-raising economy" field, and be unmoved by high rebates, blindly believe in publicity and hype, and blindly follow the introduction of acquaintances. Remember that "there will not fall from the sky, and high profit margin protection is a trap." At the same time, it is reminded to carry out daily production and operation in accordance with the law, do not operate beyond the scope or engage in financial activities in violation of regulations, and do not cooperate with the various "cloud-raising economy" platforms to avoid crossing the legal red line.
