We are a large-scale pharmaceutical product, which has passed the national quality inspection and is trustworthy.
Is it effective, is it harmful to the body?
If you are not sure, you can pay on delivery.
From May 2022 to May 2023, Zhou, together with Liu and Zhang, fabricated the identity of senior weight loss directors of large pharmaceutical companies to trick a large number of victims into buying probiotic drinks, wormwood foot patches and other products without weight loss ingredients at high prices, defrauding others of more than 4.29 million yuan in total. On September 4, 2023, the Shanghai Qingpu District Procuratorate prosecuted Zhou and others on suspicion of fraud.
Named "Weight Loss Company"
In fact, it is a criminal gang
In early May 2023, Xiao Xu came to the police station to report the case, saying that he wanted to lose weight from March to May, and bought more than 30,000 yuan of weight loss pills, weight loss patches and other products from a "weight loss director", but found that it had no effect, so he came to report the case.
According to clues, the police quickly arrested more than 10 criminal suspects Zhou, Liu, Zhang and their subordinate employees in Tianhe District, Huangpu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province on May 11 (handled in a separate case). This gang forms a complete criminal chain, from the company's director to the personnel, sales, and warehouse managers, with complete and detailed words to deceive consumers.
After accepting the case, the procurator in charge of the case interrogated the main responsible persons Zhou, Zhang, and Liu. Zhou, as the director of the company, insisted at first that he "didn't know how to speak, didn't understand how to chat with consumers, and could only take care of some supplies", while Liu and Zhang quickly admitted the facts of their crimes.
Private customization, the effect is remarkable?
Actually, it's all a scam!
According to Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang, they would ask their subordinates to advertise the miraculous effectiveness of the company's customized weight loss program to unspecified customers attracted by advertisements posted online, based on a pre-developed collection of words. According to Xiao Xu, she has also been suffering from weight for a long time, and she couldn't help but be moved by the many consumer before and after comparison pictures sent by the "slimming director", so she spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy the first batch of products.
In order to gain the trust of consumers, the gang's words included "We are a large-scale pharmaceutical product, which has passed the national quality inspection and is trustworthy", "This is our company's business license, and it will be open to every customer for inspection", "If you are not at ease, you can pay on delivery"...... The above words are combined with the so-called slimming ancient formula tea, probiotic solid drink, wormwood foot patch, weight loss capsules and other products, and it is easy to believe that this is a regular weight loss company customized a weight loss program for itself.
In fact, all the "remarkable" weight loss comparison charts and business licenses are achieved through P-chart technology, and the "customized weight loss prescription" is also one for thousands of people, and there is no difference.
There are many routines in multi-stage treatment
Claiming that "if you don't buy it, you'll be ugly"
Screenshot of chat history.
After Xiao Xu purchased the first product, the "slimming director" asked her to add an after-sales customer service, claiming that she would provide one-on-one service and continue to pay attention to her weight loss progress. However, the first stage of the product was only taken for about three days, and the after-sales customer service said: "Your first step has been almost conditioned, and you want to continue to buy the second stage of fat dissolving products at a price of 5,000 yuan." ”
Xiao Xu was very puzzled, saying that he thought that the first stage was a weight loss product, but the after-sales customer service said: "Weight loss is a long process, we have to adjust your body functions to the right state first, so the first stage is just an adjustment product, and it will not let you lose weight, if you don't continue to buy, the treatment will be interrupted, the body oil will be out of balance, and the face will also have a terrible situation." ”
At this time, the after-sales customer service sent a photo of a woman with a very ugly face covered with acne, saying that "if you don't buy it, it will become like this." Xiao Xu was very scared, on the one hand, he still retained his trust in the "slimming director", and on the other hand, out of fear, he paid for the second stage of the product again.
10 days later, the after-sales customer service said the same, saying "you need to buy the third stage, otherwise it will be swollen and rebound", Xiao Xu had to place orders again and again, and bought many unheard of weight loss products. Doubts began to appear in her mind, and after a while, they reached a peak when she found out that she was not thin but fat, and finally chose to call the police.
The confessions of Zhang and Liu are exactly the same as Xiao Xu's descriptions. After verifying the bank statements and conversation records in the criminal gang's computer system, the facts of the crime can be determined. According to statistics, the amount of money involved in the criminal gang is as high as more than 400 yuan, and the victims are distributed all over the country.
Zhou, Liu, and Zhang, for the purpose of illegal possession, used methods of fabricating facts and concealing the truth to collude with others to defraud an unspecified number of people's property, the amount of which was particularly huge, and their conduct had violated the criminal law, and the procuratorate then prosecuted the above three people on suspicion of fraud.
