The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

"Are you talking about blockchain plus MLM?" Wang Feiyu asked after blowing out a puff of smoke.

I nodded.

“This model is very popular in China now, mainly because blockchain is relatively new, and people nowadays want to seize the spotlight.”

He smiled and said: "Isn't there a popular saying now? Standing on the wind outlet, pigs can fly... It is true to say that, but when you see the wind outlet, it is actually leftover from other people's entertainment. thing."

I smiled and asked: "Brother Wang, if you want to do a blockchain pyramid scheme, what should you do?"

He thought for a while and said: "First of all, you have to understand that blockchain MLM is essentially the same as traditional MLM. They both make money by recruiting downlines."

He paused to make sure I was listening carefully: “But blockchain MLMs are more cunning. They package themselves as a high-tech investment and take advantage of people’s lack of understanding and greed for blockchain technology.”

“They usually first create a blockchain project that sounds inscrutable, maybe some kind of virtual currency or a digital platform.” Wang Feiyu explained, “Then they will claim that this project will bring huge returns. , entice people to invest and recruit more investors to participate.”

“Investors are told that as long as they hold these virtual currencies or tokens, they can get huge returns at some point in the future.” He shook his head, “But in fact, these projects often have no real value and are There is no real business model support. Most of the so-called returns rely on funds invested by latecomers to pay early investors, forming a typical Ponzi scheme.”

A so-called "Ponzi scheme" is one in which early investors are lured with the promise of high returns that do not come from any actual business gains or profits, but rely on funds invested by later investors to pay for them.

As the old saying goes, it means tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

I discussed with Wang Feiyu until after ten o'clock in the evening, and then I left him.

When I returned to the dormitory, I sorted out the contents of the conversation, then opened the document that Lao Chen left for me and studied it carefully.

Eventually, I figured out a pattern!

When I found Zhao Yuan the next day, I told her the pattern I had come up with overnight and asked her to help analyze it.

"First build a platform, using the most popular smart brick moving as the entry point." I said.

"Smart brick moving?" Zhao Yuan asked with some confusion.

I explained: “It is an automated trading strategy that uses price differences between different markets or different platforms to make profits.”

She nodded: "Go on."

"After the platform is set up, every person who comes in is asked to open a virtual wallet. The fee for opening a wallet is set to US$600..."

"and then?"

"Then, let people who open a wallet buy Bitcoin and deposit it on the platform, giving them a certain amount of income every day. It is announced that these incomes are obtained through intelligent brick-moving."

I continued: "Then let them develop downlines. Every time they develop a person, there will be a bonus card for income. The more downlines they develop, the higher the bonus will be."

"There is a question." Zhao Yuan said, "I probably know how you operate it, but what do you do if the user withdraws cash every day?"

"It's very simple. After the user reaches a certain amount, set a withdrawal limit. For example, if the withdrawal is within thirty days, an eight percent handling fee will be charged. If it is exceeded thirty days, only a one percent handling fee will be charged. , in other words, the longer the virtual currency is kept in the wallet, the lower the handling fee.”

“In this way, many people would rather wait thirty days if they don’t want to lose the handling fee. Within these thirty days, the new users who have accumulated, the fees for opening their wallets and the money they have deposited can be used to pay withdrawals. money, forming a short-term cycle.”

"What are you going to do about the promotion?" she asked.

I said: "I have already thought about it, find a capable domestic team, and then package a foreigner, let him become the founder, and add some credit endorsement. And put all the technical support on my side, I will let People build platforms.”

Zhao Yuan thought about it thoughtfully, and said after a moment: "You can do this plan, but again, you need a water room to help you put the money into the park account, and you also need a reliable domestic one." Team assistance. This team must not only have certain connections, but also must have certain abilities in promotion."

She paused and asked, "Do you have any channels to find such a team?"

I shook my head and said, "If I tell Hu Laosan about this project, will he support it?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Your set of things looks good, but the risks are also very high. Besides, if you let Hu Laosan support you, will the performance be his or yours?"

"Then who should I go to?"

"Li Yan."

"she?"

"What's wrong, do you think she won't help you?"

"That's not the case. Is it just that she knows such people in China?"

"She doesn't know him, but Wang Feiyu does!"

"Then why don't I go directly to Wang Feiyu?"

Zhao Yuan smiled disdainfully: "You go to Wang Feiyu, and Li Yan goes to Wang Feiyu, they are completely different things."

"You mean, let me cooperate with Li Yan, and then Li Yan will talk to Wang Feiyu?"

"That's right! Your partner is Li Yan. As for how she goes to find others and how she talks to others, you don't have to worry about it. This way, if anything happens, at least she will be there to take care of her."

Zhao Yuan said: "She is Hu Laosan's woman. If something happens to her, Hu Laosan cannot ignore it."

"That's not good?"

"Yo?" She sneered, "Do you feel sorry for her?"

I said angrily: "What does this have to do with feeling distressed? I just got her involved in this matter. What if...I mean what if something happens?"

"You should think about yourself first! If something happens to Li Yan, Hu Laosan will take care of it. If you can't achieve results by the end of the year, who will help you take care of it?" Zhao Yuan said.

I took a deep breath and felt that what she said was not unreasonable.

But I still feel a little unhappy about involving Li Yan.

"If you don't change your indecisive character, you will suffer more in the future."

She crossed her arms, leaned on the chair, stared at me and said, "Yang Lei, you have to understand that if you are not ruthless in this place, it is very likely that you will die by then."

When she said this, many things from the past suddenly came to mind. I couldn't help scolding myself in my heart, and finally nodded: "Okay! I'll do what you said, I'll go talk to Li Yan." cooperate!"
