Recently, many sellers must have received an email, and the subject of the email is four words:Extortion!
Let's take a look at the screenshot of the email first:
The email was short, just over 30 words, but the meaning was clear:If you don't add my WeChat, then I'm going to spoof and complain about your product.
In the past two days, too many sellers have received this extortion email, including sellers in the private circle of my knowledge planet, and many sellers have also received it.
My reply to them is: you can choose to ignore it directly, because this kind of email is ** at first glance, and the blackmailer belongs to the idea of catching one is one.
However, if the other party has made a further violation, then you can also choose to report it directly to the police, because this has already constituted the Criminal LawExtortion! Elements of the crime.
Moreover, this kind of alarm is not without successful precedents to follow, and many sellers have already protected their damaged interests through the police.
Recently, there is a typical case in the cross-border circle.
A service provider was instructed by other sellers to spoof others, give bad reviews and complaints to other people's links, and the seller directly chose to call the police after delineating the approximate target of the crime and evidence.
Now the end has come out, the service provider has been investigated by the public security organs on suspicion of criminal offenses, and the seller who instructed the service provider to spoof has also paid the price of millions of levels of compensation.
This case took place in Shenzhen, and the content of the case was nothing new, that is, the first entrant launched an attack on the late entrant in order to maintain the position of his own product.
Soon after entering this category, the seller named Xiaolin achieved the top of the category rankings, and the sales volume is also rising, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the bestseller seller in the category, who is afraid that the rising price of this new product will seize his BSR position.
And so, the spoof began.
Kobayashi's products have received many bad reviews in a short period of time, and the next thing is to maliciously complain about keywords, malicious returns, add sensitive words and other bad operations.
Under such rounds of "bombardment", not only did the product's score quickly fall below 4 points, but the sales of the product also plummeted.
When Xiao Lin was worried that he couldn't find the object and clues of the spoof, this service provider sent it"God assists".
In order to eat both, the service provider quietly contacted Xiao Lin to use his "delete bad reviews" service, saying that as long as Xiao Lin paid a fee of 750 yuan, these bad reviews would be deleted immediately after payment.
And in order to make Xiao Lin convinced of his "ability", the service provider also showed Xiao Lin some chat records of the previous spoof orders, and then Xiao Lin directly determined that the initiator of the spoof was the BSR seller of the category.
Xiaolin directly reported the case to the Shenzhen public security organ on the grounds of extortion, and submitted the relevant evidence to **, the service provider has been criminally detained, and has been prosecuted for suspected extortion.
According to the confession of the service provider, the seller who instructed the spoof was also brought to the forefront, and at present, Kobayashi has also filed a lawsuit against the seller for sabotaging the business, and the seller has also compensated Kobayashi millions of yuan as compensation in order to obtain Kobayashi's understanding.
This case undoubtedly brings hope to sellers who have been repeatedly spoofed by peers and service providers, and everyone can boldly take up the law to defend their legal rights in the future.
And this case has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for sellers and service providers who like to spoof others, and they will blackmail others in the future"Silver bracelet".It may be the final destination.
I hope that the water in the cross-border e-commerce industry will become clearer and clearer in the future.
