How is pyramid selling generally attractive? What are the methods?

Four common tricks of pyramid selling:

1. Trick students, farmers and laid-off workers into participating in pyramid schemes in the name of "recruitment", "recruitment" and "employment introduction".

2, under the banner of "national pilot", "Beibu Gulf development" and "western development", trick the masses into pyramid schemes.

3. Develop franchisees and salesmen under the guise of legitimate companies and enterprises and selling goods.

4. In the name of "e-commerce", "online direct selling", "online agency" and "online training", register members and develop offline.

Three tricks of pyramid selling "attracting people";

1, "pull the head"

Organizers or business operators, through the development of personnel, require the developed personnel to develop other personnel to join, and calculate and pay remuneration to the developed personnel based on the number of personnel directly or indirectly developed by them, so as to seek illegal interests.

2. "Admission fee"

Organizers or business operators, through the development personnel, ask the developed personnel to pay fees or pay fees in disguised form in order to obtain the qualification to join or develop other personnel to join and seek illegal interests.

3. "Team compensation"

Organizers or operators, through the development of personnel, require the developed personnel to develop other personnel to join, forming an online and offline relationship, and calculating and paying online rewards based on the sales performance of the offline, so as to seek illegal benefits.

Extended data:

MLM refers to the illegal behavior that organizers and developers calculate and pay remuneration to the developed personnel on the basis of the number or performance of the directly or indirectly developed personnel, or require the developed personnel to obtain the qualification to join on the condition of paying a certain fee. The essence of pyramid selling is "Ponzi scheme", that is, the money of the latecomers is distributed to the income of the pioneers.

New pyramid scheme: no restrictions on personal freedom, no ID cards and mobile phones, no group classes. But under the banner of capital operation, attracting people to cheat money, using luxury cars, wearing gold and silver, etc. Use money to attract your relatives and friends, and finally let you lose everything.

Contrast recognition

MLM makes the ultimate rights and interests of most consumers and investors unable to be guaranteed. MLM and normal marketing are one by one, so let everyone distinguish.

Consumer behavior and business behavior are vague, and pyramid sellers use some "tricks". What I promoted to you in the early stage was investment and financial management behavior, and later you became a consumer unconsciously; 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 selling goods, providing services, investing in projects and other business activities, organizations and leaders require participants to obtain the qualification to join by paying fees or purchasing goods, services and investments.

In the MLM Prohibition Ordinance, the concept of hierarchical relationship has been repeatedly mentioned. The formation of hierarchical relations according to certain laws is only a phenomenon in many pyramid schemes, and it is only possible to be suspected of pyramid schemes if it is related to illegal possession of other people's property. For example, village-level community stores have five or six grades of goods, all of 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; The main object element must have two items:

1, fraud (infringement of citizens' property ownership);

2. Disturbing social management order and economic order.

Trick recognition

First of all, there will be no pie in the sky. Be vigilant when describing your career or reward. High returns are bound to have high risks.

Secondly, no matter how the form of MLM changes and develops, its essence is still to pay the entry fee by purchasing shares, develop offline personnel and form a hierarchy, and take the "performance" of offline personnel as the profit basis.

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

1, registration fee

Whether it is necessary to subscribe for goods or pay fees to obtain franchise qualifications or develop others' franchise qualifications to seek illegal interests;

Step 2 pull people's heads

Whether it is necessary to develop others to become their own downline, and pay remuneration to the developed personnel based on the number of people directly or indirectly developed, so as to seek illegal interests;

3. Method of payment

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

If it meets the above characteristics, it may be suspected of pyramid schemes.
