Making a lot of money by playing the app for free is it a pie or a trap?

Can you make money with your fingers? Must pass the withdrawal level

Brushing videos, reading novels, playing games can make money, and even some people claim to earn 80,000 a month and hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which goes to the 4S store to pick up the car... Such ads are ubiquitous on online platforms. Xiao Ke, who couldn't resist the temptation, specially downloaded a game software for growing vegetables on the farm, "There are newcomer rewards, but there are not as many as advertised, and it is more than one piece." ”

However, what Xiao Ke did not expect was that withdrawal was a big difficulty. Newly registered users have a chance to withdraw cash, the amount is only 0.3 yuan, if you want to continue to withdraw, you have to meet the continuous check-in and some other requirements. "Apps that are very popular now have this common disease. To reach a certain level, you have to play non-stop, it takes a lot of time and energy, and you can't make much money at all as a side business to make money. ”

Level 1: Upgrade to earn "red packets", but also to pull in a certain number of new users.

Level 2: Keep doing quests to earn coins, and there are limited daily withdrawal opportunities.

Level 3: Don't want to be bombarded with advertised matryoshka dolls, you need to spend money to recharge VIP members.

Level 4: If you are not careful, you will automatically download the unknown software.

Many players reported that in fact, after 60 days of punching, they did not receive success, and there will continue to be additional conditions, not to mention the monthly income of tens of thousands of new cars.

The "Money Making App" is suspected of false propaganda and malicious marketing

Ren Guozheng, a researcher at the International Research Institute of Green Finance of the Central University of Finance and Economics and director of the Health Finance Laboratory (database), told the Beiqing Daily reporter that from the statistical data, the behavior of this App that now exists in large numbers to issue benefits and red envelopes to increase the amount of reading, platform exposure and thus attract attention is malicious marketing, "to make money as bait to induce downloads, claiming that you can receive cash, in fact, wasted time and energy, and finally did not arrive as promised, not only false propaganda, but also a kind of malicious marketing." ”

Ren Guozheng pointed out that such money-making apps have a particularly large number of financial frauds against the elderly and minors. In addition, when the user registers, it will be required to fill in various personal information, in the process of being recorded or used in the background, if the supervision is not strict or the operation is not standardized, there will be personal information leakage, and even the situation of being sold, the potential risk faced by the user is huge.

For these acts, internet information departments, internet police, and platforms should all fulfill their regulatory responsibilities. If capital flows are found, the measures taken by banks in financial fraud can be learned, and for abnormalities, more restriction procedures can be set up when remittances occur.

"From a personal point of view, we must remember not to believe in empty gloves and white wolves, pie in the sky, as long as it involves funds, it is necessary to have multiple strings to prevent risks." Ren Guozheng reminded.

Zhao Jingpu, a lawyer at Dacheng Law Firm in Beijing, introduced that the common model of "making money apps" may be suspected of violating different laws and regulations. Using the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term returns to old investors, defrauding more investments by creating the illusion of making money, suspected of illegally absorbing public deposits; not requiring a certain fee to be paid when registering, but must calculate rebates by pulling people's heads, which is suspected of constituting pyramid schemes; encouraging users to calculate earnings according to the length of app use through online tasks. In the process of clicking on tasks or forwarding tasks online, information may be collected beyond the scope of authorization, and the platform will profit by stealing, selling, and leaking user privacy information.
