Fun step scam exposes the big secret of fun step pyramid scheme
In recent years, we have often heard the footsteps of walking in the circle of friends. But if you say that you can make money by walking on the mobile APP, will you believe it? Recently, the exposure of the fun step scam has attracted a lot of people's attention on the Internet. Some media broke the news that there are a lot of tricks behind the fun step APP that claims to make money by walking. Let's take a look.

Interesting one-step scam exposure attracts attention.

"Candy" is a very important thing in Fun Step APP. After users get candy in various ways, they can exchange various rights and interests, even cash. The way to get candy is mainly through walking, running and other sports. This is also the reason why Fun Step APP claims to make money by walking. Let's take a look.

"If you don't like walking, you can also use a hand-cranked mobile phone to buy a walker online."

In addition, Fun Step members can also exchange various rights and interests, including restaurants, tourism, hotels, gyms and even buying houses. As long as they are docked, they will have these rights and interests.

In addition, every time a new user registers in the fun step APP, the fun step platform will send out a free task scroll first, and * * * will reward 34 fun step candy. After that, the user needs to spend 10 candy when opening a new primary scroll. After the task is completed, the user will get 12 candy reward and 1 activity. In addition, the start-up tasks such as Intermediate Scroll and Advanced Scroll require different quantities of candy, and the corresponding candy quantity and activity accumulation can be obtained after the task is completed.

Although you download the APP, you can also earn "candy" by walking or doing tasks, but how can you make real money? You need to authenticate your real name on the APP and fill in the Alipay account.

With this "bridge", the barrier between "candy" and RMB was opened.

IWC candy accumulated in the user's wallet address can be replaced by a candy called GOT (sweet osmanthus candy) on the platform. Users can hang GOT candy to "pay the bill" or "sell the bill" to achieve the purpose of trading with other players. The payment method is Alipay or bank card, and the price of GOT is also floating. And every time a GHT is traded, the handling fee of 1% will be deducted.

Making big money requires "investment and promotion"

It is true that not all users who register to use Fun Step APP are running for the sake of "walking a hundred steps a day and living to ninety-nine", and some of them want to take the opportunity to make a profit.

Users of Fun Step APP said that if they don't invest or promote it, they can only earn 200 yuan a month by walking 4,000 steps every day. But through investment, promotion and team development, you can earn thousands or even hundreds of thousands a month, which "depends on your own skills." In addition, when the team develops, it can also get dividends.

For the so-called "promotion", we know that each user has his own recommendation code. After an unregistered user registers with the recommendation code, this user is the downline of promotion.

It is called "direct push" in the fun step APP. That is to say, the process of recommending friends around you to download and register Fun Step APP and become a fun step member through real-name authentication. Then, according to the direct promotion, we will form teams of different sizes, achieve talents of different stars and give different rewards.

"Small talents (team level) pay dividends of 40 to 50 per day, one-star talents pay dividends of 400 to 500 per day, and two-star talents pay dividends of more than 1000 per day." As can be seen in the dividend map, the dividend ratio of one-star talents is 20%, that of two-star talents is 15%, and that of three-star talents is 10%.

When the higher the questioning level, the lower the dividend ratio. The user explained: "This dividend is the dividend of global transaction fees, and the number of Samsung talents is much less than that of one-star talents. For example, today's global handling fee is 654.38+ 10,000. There are 20 one-star talents and 5 three-star talents in the world. 20% of 65,438+10,000 is 20,000, and these 20 one-star talents are distributed equally, each person 1 10,000. 1 100,000 10% is1100,000, which is distributed to these five Samsung talents on average, with 2000 each. "

Some lawyers said: the disk and the money disk are similar in nature, which can be directly pushed down to the third level, and the head personnel may also be transformed from victims to pyramid schemes. The capital chain is broken, and traders may face charges of illegal fund-raising.

In addition to "promotion", the way to make money also includes "investment".

"Investment" refers to trading sweet-scented osmanthus sugar GHT with other players in the trading system embedded in Fun Step APP, in order to achieve the purpose of "buying low and selling high" to obtain income.

According to users, in addition to developing offline bonuses, you can also spend money to buy platform coins from other players. "You use the platform currency you bought to buy the platform task and get the corresponding income. The yield is between 19% and 36.8%. "

Candy can be defined as a virtual currency.

High income, high commission, off-line development ... The "capital plate" feature of Fun Step is obvious.

The lawyer gave answers to a series of questions such as whether the "candy" of Fun Step belongs to virtual currency and whether the platform operation mode is legal:

Is the operation of Fun Step APP legal?

Q: During the research, it was found that the so-called "candy" obtained by walking in fun can be obtained by auxiliary means such as "cranking". By developing downline, users can enjoy the share of transaction costs. Is this candy valuable? Is it an air coin or a gold plate?

A:

1. The main "profit point" of Fun Step should be direct push, and "candy" is just the name of the central currency of the platform;

2. If it is a centralized mode, there is also the possibility of internal "pulling the board" to run directly, thus harvesting "leeks";

3. It may be a variant of ICO, and "taking 4000 steps" cannot be consistent with the logic of the underlying assets, such as monetary rights, income rights and creditor's rights;

4. The disk is similar to the gold disk in nature. If you push it directly below, you can push it directly to level 3, and the head staff may also change from victims to pyramid schemes.

5. The capital chain is broken, and traders may face charges of illegal fund-raising crimes;

6. If you are engaged in blockchain-related business in China, in addition to complying with domestic laws and regulations prohibiting token financing, you need to conduct compliance filing on the blockchain electronic filing platform of the Internet Information Office.

A: Virtual currency itself has no value and is not recognized by the central bank. But in the process of trading, if you exchange with real money, it will produce value. If the dealer uses virtual currency by deception for the purpose of illegal possession, it is illegal income and will be suspected of fraud.

Judging whether a currency belongs to empty currency can be considered from the following aspects: First, whether the white paper is supported by physical projects, including technical support such as blockchain; Secondly, whether to focus only on marketing and publicity; Finally, is the rise and fall of the currency price artificially controlled rather than because of some technical difficulty or project progress? In the later period of empty currency, listing on the exchange is the goal to achieve the purpose of circling money.

Q: Candies on this platform can be exchanged between users and converted into RMB through the exchange mechanism. Is this candy virtual currency?

A: "Candy" can be defined as a kind of virtual currency, but at present, there is no institution in China that recognizes the legality of virtual currency. Virtual currency does not have all the functions of money and cannot replace RMB in the market. If the platform uses virtual currency to engage in fraud, pyramid schemes, illegal fund-raising and other illegal activities, it will be suspected of breaking the law.

Q: What do you think of the operation mode of such platforms?

A: In recent years, there have been many frauds, pyramid schemes and other criminal activities in China under the guise of virtual currency or blockchain technology. Such criminal gangs usually fabricate platforms and virtual currencies in various names, and even carry out illegal and criminal activities under the banner of some well-known companies.

To judge whether this kind of platform is legal, we should first look at whether the operating company behind it is legally established and whether it has the corresponding network operation qualification, because the formal blockchain platform requires very high development technology and computing power of the server, and usually the illegally established company does not have such technical conditions. Second, it depends on whether the port of the platform is an open port, and whether the issuance and trading of virtual currency follow the trading rules and objective laws set by the platform. If the virtual currency provided by the platform can manipulate its quantity, price and other information artificially, and the website designer attempts to obtain illegal benefits by manipulating the virtual currency artificially behind the scenes, then the platform may be suspected of fraud and other related crimes.
