Zhou Fan: How to identify false propaganda and illegal stock recommendation

Recently, in addition to telemarketing, criminals have also used Platforms such as WeChat, Weibo, and Short Videos to attract fans, thereby carrying out "illegal stock recommendation" activities. Many investors lack basic legal knowledge and understanding of the securities market, and after being attracted by false propaganda, they are often deceived and lose everything.

The Beijing Regulatory Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission recently reported the "List of Institutions That Do Not Have the Qualification to Operate Securities and Futures Business in Beijing Jurisdictions", which named a number of financial self-media with extremely high risks, and reminded investors to be vigilant and stay away from illegal securities and futures activities.

These so-called securities investment advisory businesses are varied and deceptive, but in essence, they use Internet platforms to gather investors and attract investors' attention with false propaganda such as promising returns, so as to implement illegal stock recommendation, false issuance of "original shares" and illegal capital allocation. These lawless elements have no relevant business qualifications, and have certain anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and their means are more hidden than ever, seriously harming the interests of investors and the normal order of the securities market.

Zhou Fan, head of A Niu Zhi Investment, said: On the one hand, investors should establish a correct view of wealth and values, avoid being carried away by seductive words such as high returns and high returns, and thus fall into the trap of lawbreakers; on the other hand, they should improve their ability to identify illegal securities activities, not be confused by false propaganda, and not participate in illegal securities activities.

Zhou Fan reminded investors that the identification of illegal stock recommendation can be identified by investigating whether the other company has an investment consulting business license, whether the stock recommendation service personnel have an investment advisory certificate, and whether they will recommend shares after signing a contract. He also reminded investors to pay attention to illegal securities and futures websites, which often have irregular websites, shoddy web content, and even more directly embezzle the logos and trademarks of regular companies to carry out illegal stock recommendation activities. Investors should learn to distinguish themselves by querying the website filing and server location to identify irregular websites. When there is money exchange, be careful not to make money to personal accounts.
