In the exchange circle, cloning platforms are not uncommon, especially some well-known old-fashioned brokers, who have been counterfeited over and over again. And brokerages have not escaped the fate of being copycats. Recently, there have been frequent scams of counterfeiting CITIC Securities and counterfeiting CITIC Securities, and many investors have been cut off from leeks.

According to a female netizen, she is a teacher, but she was lured by a scammer and downloaded the CITIC Securities APP through the QR code sent by the other party (it was later discovered that it was a fake). At first, she just said to invest 1,000 yuan for fun, and then the other party told her that the recent market was good, and asked her to increase the principal to 20,000 yuan, and then said that the platform had some kind of accumulative pre-deposit bonus activity, and asked her to invest more.

After the money was deposited, it was impossible to withdraw the funds. The platform customer service told her that due to the platform update, the withdrawal and deposit were temporarily unavailable. The next day, it was supposed to be time for the platform to withdraw funds, but the platform customer service did not reply directly!

In addition, scams of counterfeiting China Securities Investment are also frequent. According to a netizen, at the end of May this year, he was lured into a counterfeit CITIC Securities to open an account by a scammer. As a result, when withdrawing money, the platform asked the netizen to pay a security deposit, which was 1 times the total balance of the account (58620 Yuan), what a familiar "recipe"!

Another netizen who entered the fake China Securities Securities platform was even more dramatic. He just posted a message online, and the scammer contacted him pretending to be a tenant. After learning the basic information of the house, the scammer expressed his willingness to rent it. However, he will not live in the past on a business trip in the near future, but he offered to pay a rent first, and posted his work certificate saying that he is the technical director of China Securities (fake) Securities, making netizens feel that this person is still "reliable" .

After that, the scammer often took the initiative to chat with him, mainly about investment. One day, the scammer suddenly contacted netizens, saying that he had tested the backend system of the securities company and found a loophole, but since he was an internal engineer who was not easy to operate, he wanted netizens to help him test the operation. This is the familiar "recipe" again. The other party first lets you watch his account to make money, then encourages you to open an account and deposit money, and finally disappears with the money. Netizens found that the official website of the platform could no longer be opened after investing hundreds of thousands of fake CSC securities, and the "tenants" disappeared before they came to rent a house.

In fact, as early as the beginning of this year, the official website of CITIC Securities issued the "Important Announcement on Beware of Illegal Securities and Fraud Activities in the Name of Counterfeit CITIC Securities or CITIC Securities Analysts", but for some reason, the "CITIC Department" seems to be very popular with scammers. "Favour", related scams are still frequent.

In fact, no matter how many counterfeit CITIC appear, investors only need to look for the information on the official website of the platform and they will not be deceived. Before choosing a platform, check online and communicate with friends who are investing more, and many scams will not happen. !
