First, counterfeit genuine futures trading platform to carry out illegal futures trading activities. This platform disguises itself by means of technology, and looks no different from a regular trading platform. In fact, it is artificial operation, setting the probability of winning or losing in the background to increase the probability of investors' losses; From the beginning, investors were induced to make small profits but quick turnover and invest heavily. When investors invest heavily, they directly seal up, freeze and delete their platform accounts, thus illegally occupying investors' funds.
The second is to carry out illegal futures trading activities in the name of overseas futures agents. Criminals claim that the threshold for overseas futures investment is low and the income is high. First, they attract customers to invest in overseas futures with low fees and low margin, so that investors can taste the sweetness of small investment and big return, so as to win the trust of investors. Then lure investors to invest a lot with higher interests, and once the investment reaches a certain amount, they will run away with the money.
The third is to use the spot trading platform for illegal futures trading activities. Some companies use local trading platforms with only spot trading qualifications to carry out the business of buying and selling non-delivery warehouse receipts, and adopt such routines as membership system, franchise system, backdoor market making, and self-buying and self-selling. It is extremely confusing and socially harmful to create the illusion of legal compliance and stable income and absorb funds from the public. The illegal operation of such platform companies is difficult to maintain for a long time. Once the capital chain breaks, investors will face serious losses.

1, financial management is risky and investment needs to be cautious. You can do the following three things to avoid falling into the trap of illegal futures trading fund-raising fraud:
1) is the qualification to identify the main business. Before accepting securities and futures services, investors need to verify whether their institutions and individuals have gone through the registration formalities in the industrial and commercial registration, whether they have legal business entity qualifications, and whether they have obtained the securities and futures business license approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
2) Identify the website of the trading platform. The websites of illegal futures websites are often composed of letters and numbers with no special meaning, or letters and numbers changed or added on the basis of the websites of legal securities and futures institutions. Investors can check the websites of futures institutions through the websites of China Securities Regulatory Commission or China Futures Association for comparative screening.
3) Be careful when transferring money to other people's accounts. In order to rob investors of their funds and obtain illegal gains, criminals will adopt various sales promotion methods to urge investors to transfer their funds to their controlled bank accounts as soon as possible. Once investors make money, criminals will immediately change their faces and turn "passive" into "active", making it extremely difficult for investors to recover funds. Therefore, in the remittance process, we must be careful to avoid transferring money and remittances to private accounts.
2. Futures, whose English name is completely different from spot, are actually tradable goods (commodities). Futures are mainly not commodities, but standardized tradable contracts with certain mass products such as cotton, soybeans and oil and financial assets such as stocks and bonds as the targets.
3. Therefore, the subject matter can be commodities (such as gold, crude oil and agricultural products) or financial instruments. The delivery date of futures can be one week later, one month later, three months later or even one year later. A contract or agreement to buy or sell futures is called a futures contract. The place where futures are bought and sold is called the futures market. Investors can invest or speculate in futures.
The futures market first appeared in Europe. As early as ancient Greece and Rome, there were central trading places, bulk barter transactions, and trading activities with the nature of futures trade. The original futures trading was developed from spot forward trading. The first modern futures exchange 1848 was established in Chicago, USA, and 1865 established a standard contract model.
