How to report pyramid schemes

the administrative department for industry and commerce and the public security organs are the main departments that receive reports and complaints, and are specifically responsible for investigating and dealing with illegal pyramid schemes within their respective responsibilities.

These departments shall, in accordance with their respective duties and the provisions of relevant laws and administrative regulations, cooperate with the administrative departments for industry and commerce and the public security organs to investigate and deal with illegal pyramid schemes.

Grass-roots organizations such as rural villagers' committees and urban residents' committees shall, under the guidance of the local people's governments, assist relevant departments in investigating illegal pyramid schemes. If the masses report and complain about suspected illegal pyramid schemes to the cooperative units, the above units can't shirk it on the grounds of "not being within the jurisdiction of their duties", but should inform the informants or complainants in detail of the contact information of the units accepting illegal pyramid schemes or get in touch directly with relevant departments.

1. MLM harms

It disturbs the social and economic order, affects social stability and unity, and leads to the rise of social criminal cases, family destruction and other social riots. The essence of MLM lies in the illegal transfer and aggregation of finance through the development of offline, which does not create social value, which is the essential difference between MLM and normal marketing. ?

MLM is not a state act, and it can't be a state act. Although it has stimulated the local economy and promoted consumption, its own organizational behavior has caused irreparable harm to most participants and violated the normal life and activities of human beings.

II. Contrasting and identifying

The ultimate rights and interests of most consumers and investors are not guaranteed due to pyramid schemes. MLM and normal marketing are compared one by one for everyone to distinguish.

Consumer behavior and business behavior are vague, and pyramid sellers use some tricks. What I advertised to you in the early stage was investment and management behavior, and later you unconsciously became a consumer; Or promote consumer behavior, and later let you become an investor; Even citing vague concepts such as "consumption capitalization" makes you lost between investment and consumption. This will bring many difficulties to your legal rights protection (note: consumer behavior and investment business behavior are two different legal concepts, and the applicable laws are: Consumer Protection Law and Contract Law).

in the name of business activities such as selling goods, providing services and investing in projects, the organization and leaders require participants to obtain the qualification of joining by paying fees or purchasing goods, services and investing.

in the regulations on the prohibition of pyramid schemes? [8]? In this paper, the concept of hierarchical relationship is repeatedly mentioned, and it is only a phenomenon in many pyramid schemes that the hierarchical relationship is formed according to certain laws, and it is only possible to be suspected of pyramid schemes if it is related to the illegal possession of other people's property. For example, there are five or six levels of goods in village-level community stores, which are normal sales. Therefore, the object of pyramid selling infringement is complex, and pyramid selling is often accompanied by tax evasion and price gouging. Infringe on multiple social relations and legal objects; There must be two elements of the main object:

1. Fraud (infringement of citizens' property ownership);

2. Disrupting social management order and economic order.

Third, feature recognition

First of all, there is no pie in the sky. You should be vigilant when describing your career or return. High return is bound to have high risks.

Secondly, no matter how the form of pyramid selling changes and develops, its essence is still to pay the entry fee with the purchase share, to develop the offline personnel and attract people to form a hierarchy, and to take the "performance" of the offline personnel as the profit basis.

Therefore, to identify pyramid schemes, we need to look at three characteristics:

1. Entry fee

Whether it is necessary to subscribe for goods or pay fees to obtain the qualification to join or develop the qualification of others to join, so as to seek illegal benefits;

2.

Whether it is necessary to develop others to become their own downline, and pay the developed personnel according to the number of their direct or indirect rolling development, and seek illegal benefits;

3. Payment method

Whether to calculate the remuneration based on the sales performance of the direct or indirect development personnel and seek illegal benefits.

if you meet the above characteristics, you may be suspected of pyramid schemes.
