On April 19, 2016 (March 13, 2016, the "SkyTeam" investment scam. Shocking scam! There is such a company that claims to be listed in the United States. In order to raise funds, it only needs to invest 4000 yuan to get a huge return of 60,000 yuan. For a time, investors from all over the country came to queue up frantically to deliver money. After half a year of madness, on April 19, 2016, the company suddenly disappeared. After absorbing 2 billion yuan, it collapsed, leaving 20,000 investors wanting to cry but not shed tears... . It is recommended to read it carefully and transfer it to people around you to be highly vigilant about similar scams. More than 20,000 people across the country were cheated of investing in U.S. stocks, head of SkyTeam, Jie Yang: In 2016, we will complete all the work of SkyTeam's listing in the United States and achieve comprehensive benefits. We believe that all franchisees and everyone will support us. In 2016, we will definitely see our more prosperous career. In 2015, Jie Yang first established a company in Lu 'an, Anhui Province, claiming to be engaged in air travel and air ticket sales. At the same time, Jie Yang also claimed that he had a company in the United States and a company preparing to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock. The victim, Ms. Wu, said that friends told her that SkyTeam urgently needed a large amount of cash to boost the stock price. When it made money in the future, it would return the money from the appreciation of the stock to investors. This was a great opportunity to make a fortune. Out of caution, Ms. Wu decided to go to SkyTeam to have a on-site look first. There, she found that investors lined up to pay the money filled the corridor. The victim, Ms. Wu, told reporters that many foreigners, from all over the country, came to pay money and trucks of people were pulling in. It was really popular. Seeing so many people coming to invest money, Ms. Wu was relieved. She invested more than 600,000 in multiple times. But on April 19, 2016, many people discovered that SkyTeam had suddenly been empty, and the company's head Jieyang also went to the United States and no longer showed up. Jie Yang, head of SkyTeam Alliance: How can I give him money? I can only build the company step by step and give everyone shares. I can do this. I have no other ability now and insist on forcing me to meet and give you money, but I can't give it. Subsequently, the Baohe Branch of the Hefei City Public Security Bureau intervened in the investigation and confirmed that more than 20,000 investors had been defrauded, involving 31 provinces across the country. Qu Xiaolong, a police officer from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Baohe Branch of Hefei City Public Security Bureau: The number of investors involved in the case is more than 20300. At present, it can be seen that the funding gap is about 300 million yuan, but in fact the losses of investors are much higher than 300 million yuan. A single annual return of 4000 yuan exceeds 1500%. Police investigation found that if investors want to invest in SkyTeam, they need to spend 4000 yuan to purchase qualifications and become a company member. After becoming a member, you can invest in an integer multiple of 4000 yuan per piece. The investment period is 9 weeks, and a certain percentage will be refunded every week. If the investor continues to reinvest, the rebate will exceed 15 times a year, that is, you can invest 4000 yuan, and you can get a return of more than 60,000 yuan a year. If investors complete a total of 100 orders within three months, they can also apply to establish a declaration center and enjoy additional shares. Qu Xiaolong, a police officer from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Baohe Branch of the Hefei City Public Security Bureau, told reporters that after the suspect established a reporting center, he would receive a commission of 160 yuan for each investment he invested directly and indirectly. The so-called investment of 4000 yuan in overseas stocks without any value can get a huge return in 9 weeks. What does this SkyTeam company do? Is it capable of paying such a high return? What is going on with the so-called NASDAQ stocks? SkyTeam claimed that its main business area was air travel and sold air tickets as an agent, but police investigation found that this was a complete cover. Qu Xiaolong, a policeman from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Baohe Branch of Hefei City Public Security Bureau: Found that in 2016, there were only a hundred thousand yuan in air ticket sales. For this 2 billion yuan in capital flow, this hundred thousand yuan was simply negligible. Apart from the hundreds of thousands of air ticket sales, the company has no physical business and no profit. The so-called stocks listed on NASDAQ in the United States have no attention at all in the United States and cannot be listed and traded publicly. Qu Xiaolong, a police officer from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Baohe Branch of Hefei City Public Security Bureau: The Tianhe Holding Company he mentioned is the company listed on NASDAQ in the United States. It has no actual value. The company has no normal operation and no business. How do you think this stock price will rise? According to police, several suspects knew from the beginning that the capital chain would break sooner or later and were ready to escape. After the crime, police seized tens of millions of dollars in cash at one of the suspects 'homes alone. From its establishment in October 2015 to its collapse in April 2016, SkyTeam has absorbed an investment of 2 billion yuan in less than half a year, with an average of 300 million yuan per month. Qu Xiaolong, a police officer from the Economic Investigation Brigade of Baohe Branch of Hefei City Public Security Bureau: The amount of funds absorbed reaches 1.99 billion yuan, which is a very scary figure. Considering that more than 20,000 people were involved in our case, everyone basically has to invest more than 80,000 yuan in principal. At present, several suspects involved in the case have been prosecuted by the Procuratorate of Baohe District, Hefei City, and the case is under further review. Incomprehensible stocks, understandable scams Like most scams, SkyTeam is hyping up a magical concept. But through this concept, we can see that this scam is actually no stranger. It is nothing more than a high return and a windfall in the short term. Here, we also remind investors once again that there will be no pie in the world, and there will be something fishy behind high returns. I really can't believe it.
