On December 12, Mr. Wei, a netizen, reported that he received a courier mailed by the "National Rural Revitalization Bureau".
Mr. Wei told reporters that he received the express package on December 12, and when he opened it, it was an invitation letter about "digital village" written with "National Rural Revitalization Bureau". The content is a document about receiving poverty alleviation subsidies, and the document says that by scanning the code into the QQ group, you can receive more than 140 yuan in relevant subsidies. "It looks quite formal", but what makes Mr. Wei strange is that no relevant staff member has ever mentioned this to him before, and what makes him even more puzzled is that since it is a "subsidy", why do you need to scan the code to enter the QQ group?
Wei Xiansheng received the mailing documents.
The reporter then scanned the code to add the QQ group through the ** provided by Mr. Wei. The reporter saw that the name of the group was "Revitalization Dream Sailing", there were four people in the group, and the group leader was "Sailing Hefei Zhenhao Network Technology". The reporter then applied to join the group chat and applied to add four people as friends, but as of press time, none of the relevant people in the group and the group chat passed the application for joining the group and friends.
The reporter searched for Hefei Zhenhao Network Technology through Qichacha and other platforms, and learned that the company is a privately operated network marketing company, the company's registered address is Hefei, and its main business projects are network technology services and food and daily necessities sales, and it does not involve business related to rural revitalization.
The reporter learned from a number of "anti-fraud platforms" that this is a new type of fraud. The fraud "routine" is as follows: some private network companies first register their head offices in first-tier cities, package them as high-tech enterprises, and then use relevant national policies to concoct "red-headed documents" of false support policies to gain the trust of consumers;Then through network promotion, absorb the city-level businessmen to join, through the support and training of businessmen to establish their own e-commerce platform, parallel publicity and promotion;Finally, with high returns as bait, to induce consumers to invest, the initial investment will allow consumers to obtain a certain amount of returns, after consumers invest a large amount of money, "Ponzi **" harvest.
The National Rural Revitalization Administration previously issued an announcement to refute rumors.
The reporter also learned that in April 2022, the National Rural Revitalization Administration issued a relevant statement on its official website to refute rumors, and reminded people from all walks of life to be vigilant and pay attention to prevention, and report to the relevant departments or report to the police in time if similar activities are found.
