Famous economist posts: Hurry up and report to the police! Stock Recommendation | Fund Company | Economist
Recently, the fraudsters have been a bit rampant. They cheat under the banner of well-known economists and ten billion level fund managers. From the perspective of fraud techniques, they fabricate fake official account, spread false information in QQ groups, and conduct illegal stock recommendation activities. Renowned economist Guan Qingyou reluctantly wrote, "Who would have thought that someone would impersonate me to recommend stocks to everyone? How embarrassing is this for me? I don't even know the specific stocks."
Multiple well-known figures have been impersonated
Recently, renowned economist Guan Qingyou posted, "Who would have thought that someone would impersonate me to recommend stocks to everyone? How can I be ashamed of this? I don't even know the specific stocks, how can I recommend them to others? Moreover, this is a serious compliance issue and also a bottom line issue. I hope everyone can be vigilant and not be deceived. If found, report to the police immediately."
The reporter found that many official account, such as "Guan Qingyou" and "Guan Qingyou Lunch", regularly issue stock reviews, and these are official account forged by criminals.
Dongfang Harbor founder Dan Bin also forwarded Guan Qingyou's Weibo post and said, "It is illegal to require fund managers not to recommend stocks now! Any such behavior is counterfeit, and do not fall for it. If there is any loss, you can report it to the police!"
Not only Guan Qingyou, but also Zheng Weishan, a billion dollar fund manager, has encountered a similar situation of being impersonated.
On June 2, Galaxy Fund announced that some criminals had falsely used the name of Galaxy Fund and its staff to release false information such as "Shen Wan Hongyuan signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Zheng Weishan team of Galaxy Zhenxuan multi strategy hybrid fund", "Shen Wan Hongyuan and Zheng Weishan team of Yinhe Zhenxuan strategy fund manager have reached a strategic cooperation for the exclusive channel of A-share securities dealers" through websites, official account and other channels.
In addition, illegal elements carry out various forms of illegal investment, stock recommendations, and other activities through websites, QQ groups, and other channels, such as fund manager Zheng Weishan opening the "Galaxy Zhenxuan Lecture Hall", leading investors from retail investors to become qualified traders.
Fraudulent tactics emerge endlessly, investors need to be vigilant
In recent years, as funds have gradually entered the public eye, it is not uncommon for criminals to impersonate fund companies and engage in fraud. According to incomplete statistics by reporters, more than ten fund companies, including CICC Fund, Fuguo Fund, ICBC Credit Suisse Fund, Penghua Fund, Great Wall Fund, and Rongtong Fund, have encountered similar situations since the beginning of this year.
Overall, illegal elements mainly use the names of fund companies and fund company employees to provide securities investment consulting services for illegal profits, and use fake websites, apps, service phones, etc. to engage in false advertising and lure investors into investing.
It is worth noting that new forms of fraud have emerged recently, with some criminals using the excuse of assisting in loan processing to commit fraud.
For example, on June 3rd, Penghua Fund announced that there were criminals who used the excuse of assisting in loan processing to quickly apply for and redeem money from the money market fund for fraud. The main steps were as follows: using the excuse of helping customers apply for loans, they defrauded customers of their trust and obtained information such as their ID card and bank account information; Claiming to assist clients in swiping bank account statements to meet loan eligibility requirements; Use your own controlled mobile phone number to represent customers or guide customers to open fund accounts online and bind them to their bank cards; Control the client's fund trading account, use the client's bank card to subscribe to money market funds and quickly redeem them, creating the illusion of fraudulent transactions; Falsely claiming that the redemption funds were borrowed to the customer to swipe bank account statements, and requesting the customer to transfer them to a designated bank account to obtain fraudulent proceeds.
Huaxia Fund reminds investors to protect their privacy information, such as identity information, bank accounts, online shopping transaction information, etc. At the same time, investment and wealth management must choose formal channels. You can learn about qualifications on the official website of regulatory authorities, and learn about financial products and processing procedures through formal channels. In short, do not believe in the "side door", do not be greedy for "small profits", remember that "pie will not fall from the sky", do not attempt to become rich overnight, and call the 96110 anti telecom network fraud dedicated number as soon as encountering uncertain situations.
Fu Rong Fund summarized that firstly, it depends on the qualifications of sales personnel. If investors encounter products recommended in the name of a fund company, they need to pay attention to verifying the identity and qualifications of personnel. The fund company and its staff will not provide any direct or indirect paid securities consulting services related to individual stocks or securities investment analysis, prediction, or advice to public investors.
The second is to check whether the product is registered. The products issued by fund companies must be registered with the China Securities Regulatory Commission or the China Securities Investment Fund Industry Association. Investors should pay attention to verifying the legality of the products before investing in them.
Thirdly, it depends on the form of promotion. Fund companies generally use cautious language when promoting their business, avoiding exaggeration or false advertising, and also fully revealing business risks as required.
The fourth is to check the receiving account. Fund companies can only conduct business externally in the name of the company, and can only open bank accounts in the name of the company. Investors should be particularly cautious in the remittance process.
