This week, enterprises in several cities began to return to work one after another. To tell the truth, going to work is not terrible. The terrible thing is that there is no mask.

5 working days a week, 1 day at least 2 masks. I bought it well, even if it was expensive, I was afraid of meeting black-hearted businessmen and buying fake or even refurbished masks.

Let us think that we are well protected, go out of the house and be exposed to the virus environment. Those who sell fake masks can be regarded as murder for money!

If you think that a mask for a few dollars is not worth the trouble of a liar, you are even more wrong. Now, the mask business is an opportunity to make a fortune. Otherwise, how can WeChat merchants selling skin care products start making masks?

On June 5438+1October 12, Hubei Provincial Public Security Bureau announced five typical cases of manufacturing and selling fake and shoddy protective equipment during the epidemic: more than 4.6 million fake and shoddy masks and 300,000 sets of inferior protective clothing were seized, involving a total amount of 6.6 million yuan.

Can fake masks have such a large output? Have you ever bought a fake mask?

Now people engaged in WeChat business, tourism and finance in WeChat circle of friends are selling masks, and almost all of them are selling masks.

But pharmacies, supermarkets and medical suppliers around us all said that they were out of stock and had no masks. ? Are these masks that exist in the circle of friends true? ? ? ? One? A mask that will never be shipped? ? When many people buy masks in a circle of friends, they don't realize that they have fallen into the trap of a liar.

If you sell masks in a circle of friends, it's basically like this: I found a channel for manufacturers/big suppliers! 10000 (even larger number) order, now start to spell the order! The price in 4 yuan is about 15 yuan.

There are also some friends who buy masks from various countries and brands, which are basically the same model. One of the biggest characteristics is that the minimum order quantity is huge, so we spell the order.

After the "customers" have taken the bait, these vague orders have become proof that they continue to promote marketing: so many people have bought it, do you still hesitate to place an order?

Then, it has been about 1-2 weeks since I started selling masks in my circle of friends. Almost all the people who sell masks in the circle of friends have sent the above sentence-"anxious friends get a full refund."

However, most people actually won't return it, because as we all know, you can hardly buy a mask if you return the money.

Well, if you don't want a refund, but you still ask the sellers in your circle of friends, you will probably get the following answer: "National collection, transportation restrictions, customs supervision, priority supply to hospitals, everyone is waiting for such a big order, I bought xxx myself, and I am also in a hurry ...". ? In the process of buying masks in this circle of friends, a lot of cash was collected into the hands of the top "sponsors" (how it feels a bit like a P2P Ponzi scheme).

What will be the ending?

The most inhuman-take everyone's money and run away. There is nothing to explain. To tell the truth, almost all friends circle masks, and almost all people don't know who started selling masks, so the "pusher" really ran away, and it is even harder for you to get your money back. ? Do you think everything will be all right even if the supplier is lucky enough to deliver the goods? ? ? Two? Fake/refurbished masks of unknown origin? ? Of course, being cheated is irritating, but what is even more irritating is that you spent money on fakes.

Let us think that we are well protected, go out of the house and be exposed to the virus environment. Those who sell fake masks can be regarded as murder for money!

Brother Zuo's relatives and friends were fooled into receiving fake masks. The masks in the cartons sent are not of the same brand, the styles of the boxes are different, and even the address of the manufacturer is not available. They are pure three products, and the quality is extremely poor.

As for where these masks came from, no one can tell. ? Perhaps, they are three products produced by small workshops, or maybe these masks are not brand new. ? Previously, the illegal recycling of masks by Bopp Medical has been exposed, which has opened the corner of the black interest chain of mask recycling.

? What is even more frightening is that some lawless elements go directly to garbage bins and waste stations to recycle tons of masks, turn them into medical waste, and then flow to the market after processing in their own processing plants.

It's hard to know whether these "black-hearted" manufacturers use ultraviolet rays or cook masks in a cauldron. ? ? Three? Can I only get a long mask at a high price?

Of course, not all the masks of friends circle are pure empty gloves and white wolves, or are full of fakes. It is still possible for you to buy a really qualified mask from them.

However, even if you meet a more conscientious seller and finally get a qualified mask, you actually lose! ? The problem is that it will take a long time. By the time you get the mask, the nearby pharmacies have resumed the supply of masks. ? For you, it is not just necessary to buy a mask from a circle of friends at a high price, but for sellers in a circle of friends, this is the safest exit mechanism in this routine. ? Judging from the current market, a friend circle mask should be at least 4-5 yuan (N95 is more expensive). Once they can attract a large number of buyers, they can precipitate a huge pool of funds.

Suppose a person buys 100 ordinary medical masks, and 100 people can intercept the cash pool of 40,000-50,000 yuan. With the increase of the number of people and the number of purchases, the fund pool will become larger and larger. ? If the seller's order has 6,543,800 masks, this is a pool of funds, with a maximum of 5 million. ? With money in hand, they will wait until the supply of masks returns to normal, and then buy real masks at a price of 1 yuan or even lower, and deliver them normally. At this time, they can still earn 4 million. ? It's just a trick to exchange the time difference for the price difference. If this is in the financial market, there is a technical term called futures. ? However, this "business model" of futures speculation has not deceived anyone, but it can make every buyer involved suffer a dumb loss and unspeakable pain.

? Four? Why can such a scam work? ? It is because even if the sellers in the circle of friends do not deliver the goods, our individual buyers may not necessarily ask them for a refund. ? Most individual buyers may find it useless to wait for a refund, or place an order with many sellers in a circle of friends.

It's 50 here and 100 there. In the end, I can't remember where there is an order, let alone a refund. ? Looking back, the routines of these scams are basically the same. Liars posted false information about selling masks in QQ group, WeChat group and friends circle to induce victims to come to discuss in detail.

After the transaction is settled, the swindler will ask the victim to pay first and then deliver the goods, wait for the victim to pay, or delay the delivery, or even pull the black directly on the grounds that "the goods are in demand, the delivery is not good, and the deposit is needed". ? Therefore, if you don't want to be cheated, the most important thing is to buy through formal channels (such as the reservation channel formulated by the government). ? There is no need to take any chances. Now most mask factories have been requisitioned, and the products produced are uniformly recruited. First, it will be sent to the forefront of the epidemic and rarely flow to the market normally. ? In this case, the massive masks in the circle of friends can only be fake.

Although once discovered, it will pay a hell of a price, but driven by the huge interests of dozens or even millions a day, it is inevitable that some people will commit crimes against the wind, and some of them have even flowed to the market, causing endless harm.

For us, wasting money is a trivial matter, and anti-virus is the big thing!
