Wechat will fight again to standardize the issuance of investment suggestions or stock recommendation by personal account. More than 8000 wechat groups and 4000 wechat signals have been processed, and wechat has no weakness in the fight against 'recommending stocks'. So don't post any recommendation information related to stocks in wechat circle, otherwise it's easy to be blocked.
At the end of last year, wechat Security Center released the announcement on standardizing wechat personal account and releasing investment suggestions and 'stock recommendation' related service information. It is clear that the issuance of investment advice or stock recommendation for individual account must be strictly regulated in accordance with the relevant national laws and regulations.
In recent years, wechat has received a large number of complaints. When some users release investment suggestions or stock recommendation information, there are still the following illegal behaviors, including but not limited to:
1. Adding users or pulling users to join wechat group by means of counterfeiting identity, etc., and continuously releasing the information of stock recommendation advertising harassment;
2. Claiming to be able to accurately predict the rise and fall of individual stocks, and make profits by earning service fees, expert guidance and consulting fees, selling stock speculation software and courses, selling VIP stock speculation membership groups, or through the so-called cooperative dividend and other forms;
3. Forging the so-called inside information and market analysis, pretending to be a regular securities trading company, building a false securities trading platform, attracting users' investment and carrying out fraud.
This kind of illegal behavior seriously harasses users, and has the nature of malicious marketing, fraud and so on. In order to standardize the information release behavior of wechat personal account and protect the information security and legitimate rights and interests of wechat users, wechat security team, in accordance with Tencent wechat software license and service agreement and wechat personal account use specification, has violated laws and regulations such as securities law, Interim Measures for securities and futures investment consulting management, Interim Provisions for securities investment consulting business, etc We have made a special clean-up and continued to crack down on the illegal stock recommendation. Now, the processing results in the first half of 2018 are publicized:
So far, we have verified and confirmed the data reported by users--
In total, more than 8000 wechat groups are subject to restricted group function processing, and more than 4000 wechat accounts are subject to stepped penalties such as restricted function use or restricted login.
Some processed 'wechat account' examples
According to the feedback information of users' complaints, the following common means are used for stock recommendation fraud:
1. Create the so-called "expert" master "image on social platforms such as wechat group and live broadcast room, use probability to make articles, and adopt the way of" thousands of people and thousands of shares "to recommend stocks to investors, so as to achieve the purpose of selling high-value stock courses and charging high" membership fee "service fee.
2. The sponsors claimed that they could help investors diagnose their positions, tap potential stocks and recommend individual stocks for free. Take the cooperation mode of profit first and share later, guide you to the best trading point operation of pulling up shares in the whole session, so that you can buy and sell stocks to gain profits. When the stock goes up, he pays dividends. When the stock goes down, he takes no responsibility.
3. Fraud as a formal financial securities exchange company. The swindlers promote all kinds of "stock recommendation software" stock recommendation platforms in wechat group, and use free use and high profit as bait to guide users to external platforms to participate in spot trading (precious metal, art, postcard, etc.) or overseas futures trading. In fact, their trading systems are all forged, and they can manipulate the market in real time in the background, forge transaction records, and cheat users of a large number of funds.
4. The nature of the bad 'recommendation stock cut leek'. Swindlers use their own funds to manipulate the market: build or hold positions in advance -- shout orders in real time in wechat group, live broadcast room, etc., publicly recommend shares -- lure retail investors to follow the trend of buying, pull up the share price -- take the opportunity to sell at a high point, and escape from the market with profits. Directing investors to buy and sell stocks at the same time is not only suspected of manipulating the market, but also lures investors to seek illegal interests.
