"Spend only one dollar, Apple take home"! Hearing such advertising slogans, everyone will be moved - in order to meet the psychology of people to fight big, many online shopping platforms have launched a "one-dollar crowdfunding" shopping model: if a product is 100 yuan, it will generate 100 shopping shares, as long as you spend one dollar can buy a share. After gathering 100 people, the platform will randomly select a winner. The prizes are dazzling and vary in value. In addition to electronic products such as Apple mobile phones, there are all kinds of luxury goods and luxury cars! In 2016, Li Can, a female white-collar worker in Baoding, Hebei Province, became obsessed with this new type of shopping model, but the result was getting deeper and deeper, not only putting his hard-earned savings into it, but also losing more than 400,000 yuan in debt, and was forced to embark on the road of pornography live broadcast crime...
In order to pick up "cheap", female white-collar workers indulge in "one dollar treasure hunting"
Li Can, a 33-year-old native of Hebei, works at a building materials company in Baoding, her husband Dong Wen is a middle school teacher, her son is smart and lovely, and the family of three lives more than the top and the bottom. One day in March 2016, she opened the WeChat circle of friends, and a WeChat message sent by her girlfriend Liu Qin broke into her vision: "'One dollar to seize the treasure', one yuan second to kill Apple mobile phones, SLR, computers, fast action!" A link to the URL was also attached.
Li Can asked Liu Qin: "Can you buy an Apple mobile phone and a computer for one yuan?" Wouldn't that be a lie? Liu Qin said: "Our refrigerator and washing machine are all in the 'one dollar treasure'. Through Liu Qin's explanation, Li Can learned that "one dollar treasure hunting" is a new shopping model that is particularly popular nowadays: everyone uses one yuan to go to the website platform established by the merchant to buy things, and the buyer will get a lucky cloud purchase code, and the more times the purchase, the greater the chance. Li Can felt that this was a good opportunity to pick up cheap and make money, so she clicked on the URL link, entered the interface and found that there were many kinds of goods sold on the platform, including mobile phones, computers, and imported fruits, etc. Almost every commodity was participated, Li Can immediately downloaded the APP with his mobile phone, registered as a member, and spent 20 yuan to bet on Apple mobile phones, SLR, air conditioners and an LCD TV.
At first, Li Can was more cautious, spending only 20 or 30 yuan each time betting, playing for a while, spending seven or eight hundred yuan but never winning the lottery. Each product on the platform sets the number of participants based on the price of the product, but does not limit the purchase share of each participant. Players can invest only one dollar, or they can buy dozens or even thousands of shares to increase their chances of winning. Seeing that many players on the platform in order to improve the winning rate, the number of purchases has tens, hundreds or even thousands, Li Can also began to increase the number of purchases, but still did not win a prize.
After playing for more than a month, Li Can calculated that she had successively put in more than 20,000 yuan, and she wanted to stop playing. But there is a single function on the "one dollar treasure" platform, this function is like the review function of Taobao, only the winner can participate in the single, whenever Li Can wants to close, see a lot of winners on the platform to post a variety of winning records: "Only spent 5 yuan to hit a 588 yuan soybean milk machine, happy!" "I hit a 60-inch TV and invested a total of 1,000 yuan"... After reading these winning records, Li Can comforted himself that he was just unlucky and continued to bet.
Not long after, Li Can spent 50 yuan to bet on a sweeping robot worth 2,000 yuan and actually won the lottery. After tasting the sweetness, she gradually became obsessed with this treasure hunting game, and almost every day she had to log on to the website to bet.
Sinking deeper and deeper, 450,000 yuan was eaten away
In mid-May 2016, the "One Dollar Treasure Hunt" was newly listed as a one dollar car grab activity, and Li Can also shifted his attention and funds to expensive cars. Once, Li Can bet on a luxury SUV that was only 3 digits away from the winning number, and she was remorseful: if she bet more times, maybe it was herself who won the jackpot! As a result, Li Can's re-bets started at three or four hundred yuan, and the most were one or two thousand yuan.
However, after investing tens of thousands of yuan but still unable to win the grand prize of car or gold jewelry, Li Can instigated Dong Wen to download the "one-dollar treasure" and wanted him to try his luck. Dong Wen played for a while, invested a few hundred yuan and hit the water, and then stopped playing. For those valuable goods on the platform, Li Can's favorite thing is the BMW 730LI leading type, and the money bet is the most.
By June 28, 2016, in just over two months, Li Can had lost more than 100,000 yuan. In order to return the money, she secretly borrowed 100,000 yuan from her eldest sister from her husband, and after losing the 100,000 yuan, Li Can borrowed 100,000 yuan from her cousin who opened a beauty salon, and not long after, the borrowed 100,000 yuan was left.
On August 28, 2016, Li Can saw a treasure friend named "I heard that you can win the lottery by changing your name" on the platform posted a picture and comment of a BMW 730LI leading type worth 1.02 million yuan: "Round car dream, lucky is that when you are unexpected, you lost a lot in the early stage, you want to stop playing, but suddenly hit the BMW!" She thought that if one day she was lucky to sell a BMW like this "treasure friend", she would not only be able to win back what she had lost before, but also repay the 150,000 yuan of foreign debt borrowed.
In order to raise funds, Li Can used the house to make a second mortgage behind her husband's back and borrowed 150,000 yuan. But "luck" did not come, and it was not long before it lost a large half!
On the evening of September 8, 2016, Li Can was washing dishes in the kitchen when Dong Wen rushed in and called out to her: "Wife, CCTV is broadcasting how 'one dollar treasure grab' is deceiving people, you hurry up and see." After watching the CCTV decrypted "one dollar treasure hunting" scam, Li Can learned that the "one dollar treasure hunting" some unknown shady scenes: "one dollar treasure hunting" system, in fact, is a set of artificially written programs, the winning rate is generally changed accordingly for how much to buy, if the dealer moves the robot (that is, the pseudo player) to buy, it can pull down the winning rate of others, you can also create a false winning list, designate the winner, so that other participants have no chance to obtain products, thereby defrauding consumers of money. In the video, several of the players interviewed revealed that some of them lost more than 200,000 yuan, and the most even as high as more than 3 million yuan! To put it bluntly, platforms such as "one dollar treasure hunting" or "one dollar cloud purchase" are actually playing a legal edge ball, making it difficult for consumers to recover lost money through legal channels!
Knowing that the "one-dollar treasure hunt" was actually a disguised gambling and deception, and thinking that he had lost more than 400,000 yuan, Li Can was suddenly like ashes and chafed.
In order to pay off the huge debt, the life of pornography live broadcasting is ruined
After complaining about himself for a while, Li Can decided to find another part-time job to earn money and owe 350,000 yuan in debt. So she opened the careers website. Soon, a recruitment notice attracted her: "The network live broadcasting company recruits female anchors on the internet, which can be part-time or full-time, with a daily salary of 300 to 1000 yuan." Li Can immediately submitted his resume. In less than half an hour, the other party called and asked her to go to the interview the next day.
Early the next morning, Li Can came to the webcasting company according to the address. The boss Gao Ming received her and asked Li Can: "Do you do 'green broadcasting' or 'yellow broadcasting'?" If you earn less by doing 'green sowing', 'yellow sowing' is much higher. "Li Can doesn't understand what 'green broadcasting' and 'yellow broadcasting' are. Gao Ming explained: "'Green Broadcast' is a more formal live broadcast, through singing, dancing and chatting and other ways to earn gifts from the audience, 'Yellow Broadcast' mainly relies on dew to make money, and the more you show, the more you earn. Li Can chose to do "green broadcasting", working two hours a night, and on the pretext of supplementing the family, he lied that he had cheated Dong Wen by finding a part-time English tutor.
Because of his appearance and general talent, Li Can can only earn dozens of yuan a day. At the end of the month, Gao Ming informed each anchor of the month's gift flow at the company's morning meeting, and then announced the ranking, the first place is tong coco who does "yellow broadcasting", with a monthly income of up to 500,000! In order to return the account as soon as possible, Li Can also proposed to Gao Ming that he should do "yellow broadcasting".
The first time he did "yellow broadcasting", Li Can earned 1,000 yuan in one night. After doing "yellow broadcasting" for a while, Li Can quickly got the essentials. After doing a month of "yellow broadcasting", Li Can got 200,000 yuan, and she first used this money to repay the loan of the second mortgage of the house, and quit her original job to become a full-time anchor.
After working in that company for a while, Li Can thoroughly figured out the doorway inside, and after private consultation with three other colleagues, decided to go out and do it alone. After that, Li Can bought sexy clothes, computers and other tools from the Internet, and rented a 200-square-meter house in the suburbs and began to "open for business". In order to evade legal prosecution, after each pornographic performance, Li Can will disband in time and create a new QQ group.
In January 2017, during an online patrol by the Baoding Public Security Bureau's Cyber Security Detachment, Li Can was caught in a QQ group nicknamed "Happy" and performing an obscene pornographic performance. The police entered "stealthily", found two women performing naked, locked the website and activity area online, and quickly organized the police to rush to the rental house rented by Li Can offline, kicked in the door, and arrested the two women and Li Can who were performing obscene pornography.
It was not until after the incident that Dong Wen learned that his wife lost 450,000 yuan in the game of "one dollar treasure hunting", and in order to repay the huge debt and become a pornographic anchor, he was so humiliated that he angrily filed for divorce from Li Can! In July 2017, Li Can was sentenced to four years in prison and fined 300,000 yuan by the Baoding Lianchi District People's Court in the first instance for organizing obscene performances.
