On the evening of 20 17 12 18, the wechat team of wechat security center announced that it would severely crack down on users' fraud by recommending stocks. Wechat said in the announcement that it recently received complaints from users, and some users cheated and harassed by recommending "non-fixed income investment products" such as stocks and futures.

On 20 1810.5, 18, wechat public platform announced that from now on, wechat public platform will cooperate with wechat security center to handle the information of fraud and harassment of "non-fixed income investment products" such as stocks and futures recommended by wechat official account. According to the announcement, "non-fixed income investment products" refer to investment products with uncertain principal or income, including but not limited to stocks, options, futures, foreign exchange, bulk commodities and electronic money.

Wechat Security Center warned that this kind of "stock recommendation" fraud, by forging so-called insider information and market analysis, claims to accurately predict the rise and fall of "non-fixed income investment products" such as stocks to stabilize income, thus tricking users into participating in investment; In fact, they often take advantage of the user's psychology of wanting to make a profit, and the recommendation is entirely a chance. Shares go up with dividends (or fees), and stocks go down without any responsibility. This fraudulent profit model has seriously damaged the interests of users, and the state has explicitly prohibited this kind of behavior.
