What is illegal fund raising?
One is illegal fund-raising in the name of investing in new projects. Recently, it was discovered that some criminals in Shanghai signed the Agreement on Investment in Shanghai Santana 3000 Bus Management with the victim in the name of a travel service company, and defrauded the investor150,000 yuan in the name of investing in car purchase for commercial operation, and then fled to the United States. Another example is that a company in Beijing started to advocate "home purchase plan" in 2006, advocating green environmental protection, advocating healthy agricultural culture and red eco-tourism to attract people to invest in planting projects. The investor signed a product purchase contract and a quality commitment letter with the company, with a single order of 40,000 yuan, which was planted by the company on its behalf, and the fruit was produced for its own use or underwritten by the company. One year later, the company will purchase unconditionally at the agreed price and output, and ensure that investors can get a fixed income of 12%. Recently, due to the broken capital chain, the company has been unable to return the raised funds. The public security organs initially found out that the case involved more than 0 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions nationwide, and illegally absorbed tens of millions of yuan.

Second, the original shares have become a cover for criminals to cheat. A company in the south claims to have a professional team and insider information of the competent authorities, and recruits investors to raise funds for stock trading, so as to ensure the annual profit of 150%, and return 20% to 30% of the profits to customers within 15 to 20 trading days. In the process of fund-raising, the company returns the funds every day as promised to attract more people to join. Now the company personnel can't be contacted, and a lot of money invested can't be recovered. Many such cases have been found in various places, and many people have been cheated. There are also some criminals who cheat in the name of buying unlisted shares and original shares. An agency in Shuangyashan City, Heilongjiang Province claimed that it could buy the original shares of Zhen 'ao nucleic acid. After the stock is listed, it can make huge profits, attracting a large number of people who don't know the truth to invest and buy, being cheated 10 million yuan, and the criminal suspect absconded with the money.

Third, appear in the name of a foreign company. In a fund-raising case in Shanghai, the suspect claimed to be the head of the Shanghai representative office of an American company and illegally raised funds in the form of collecting handling fees and providing fund exchange services for mainland residents to conduct overseas foreign exchange margin transactions. By making phone calls and advertising on the website, the company boasted that it could get profits of 100 to 500 times by participating in the transaction, so as to recruit intermediary agents to develop customers, encourage deceived "investors" to deceive more people into joining, and let the deceived snowball. To this end, the representative office hired two foreigners to negotiate with customers, so that participants were convinced and fell into a trap.

Fourth, pyramid schemes are frequently used. Recently, a website frequently posted information that a company can earn high profits in a short period of time by investing in crude oil futures, gold futures, various industrial and agricultural commodity futures, stock index futures and interest rate futures, and illegally absorbed citizens' funds from Russia, China, Brazil, India and other countries. The investment method is divided into four grades: investment 100 euro, monthly interest return10%; Invest 500 euros, with monthly interest return15%; Investment 1000 Euro, with a monthly interest return of 20%; Invest 2000 euros with a monthly interest rate of 25%. Interest will be repaid the next month after the investment, and it will continue to be repaid 12 months. The project also has plans to develop offline. The more offline development, the more rebates you get. All the investment and interest returns of this project are made through the Internet. In just a few months, the transaction volume of this project has reached 450 million euros.

Fifth, hype under the guise of the Olympic theme. Recently, in Sichuan and other places, some lawless elements have been found distributing leaflets on the Internet and carrying out "mutual aid and friendship activities for Olympic wealth and fortune" under the banner of supporting the Olympics, repaying society, promoting love and network transmission. New entrants will remit 30 yuan mutual aid funds to the other three people respectively, and at least 10 people will have the chance to get a return of 3 million yuan with the investment of 100 yuan after logging off.
