A fifty-cent bill is worth 290 thousand? Beware of high-priced recycling coin chain sets

  ■ Recently, some netizens said that on the short video platform, some people "recycle" banknotes, coins and food stamps at high prices. In the anchor’s mouth, coins in some years are as high as tens of thousands of yuan. Is this true or not? The reporter’s investigation found that most of the "high-priced recycling" is not worthy of the name. Some people use this as a gimmick to sell the so-called price list and promote mobile games.

  High price recovery

  "Free door-to-door recycling. Before door-to-door recycling, I will give you a 10% deposit first. If you want this fifty cents, I will pay you 29,000 yuan first … …”

  Fudge with goods

  The reporter’s investigation found that whether it is identification or recycling, it is necessary to buy a so-called "price list". Once the money is paid, there is often no movement for many days.

  1 "Chaos"

  On-line quotation of 10,000 yuan and offline discussion on the recovery of pounds.

  "Hello, everyone, see if your family has this nickel, plum blossom, two cents, and chrysanthemum. If so, we can see which year and edition we want to receive, and we will receive the goods at home. " In a short video, the anchor is introducing the price of selling cents. As can be seen from the sample he showed, in 1986, a nickel was 14,000 yuan, in 1961, a nickel was 13,000 yuan, and a quincunx was 12,000 yuan … …

  There are many anchors similar to "high-priced recycling" on short video platforms. "Let’s start to quote one by one now. 5 cents in 1984, 55,000 yuan each; Five cents in 1976, a 10 thousand; 2 points in 1985, 15 thousand pieces. Food stamps, receive national food stamps. " The anchor of an account said this in the live broadcast room. The other anchor is more generous, saying that as long as it meets the three-point requirement of a fifty-cent banknote, a piece of 290,000 yuan. "Free door-to-door recycling. Before door-to-door recycling, I will give you a 10% deposit first. If you want to have this fifty cents, I will pay you 29,000 yuan first, and the staff will pay you the final payment after the door. "

  Online "high-priced" acquisitions, what is the offline situation? The reporter found that there are many merchants engaged in coin collection and recycling in a postal currency card market near Madian Bridge in Beijing’s North Third Ring Road. Here, dividing money is often "on the weight of income."

  Some merchants said that the recycling price of cents or banknotes mainly depends on the year and edition, and the price will not be too high. The so-called "high-priced recycling" on the Internet is actually very rare in individual years. Only when there may be no coins in circulation in that year can there be that price. "Well, many cents are mixed in years, and now we are collecting by the pound." The merchant said that the current price is about a catty of 70 yuan; In terms of selling, it is basically a dime to two cents. "What he said is only possible in a few years. If you think about it, it’s definitely not that valuable. Let’s sell it outside, too. Another one, they are actually eyeballs, in order to increase the click-through rate. "

  If you want to sell coins, you need to buy a price list first

  The so-called "high-priced recycling" or gimmicks, but if you really want to sell coins to these anchors, how to trade? The reporter’s investigation found that whether it is identification or recycling, it is necessary to buy a so-called "price list". Once the money is paid, there is often no movement for many days, and it is suspected by netizens that it is profitable.

  "How many people sell their coins by the catty? If so, you will lose a lot." An anchor who claimed to be engaged in coin collection for many years suggested that the audience take out the coins at home to see the year and characteristics, and wait for them to "collect them at home". When an audience asked how to contact, she said that she needed to buy a price list of coins first, and then send it directly to her address through the private message function. "I can only send me a home address if I grab the price list. I can’t do it without grabbing the price list."

  The anchors of multiple "recycling" and "collecting" accounts are all similar rhetoric. Another collection account anchor said that the staff engaged in coin identification and recycling business all over the country, and the door-to-door recycling did not require users to bear transportation expenses and identification fees. However, there is a "threshold" for door-to-door identification and recycling — — Need to snap up the price list "Because the platform does not allow us to trade privately, we need to buy the price list first, and then the platform will push the order in real time, and we will contact you according to the order information." In the live broadcast, the anchor constantly encouraged everyone, "If you want to come to the door for identification, you must show some sincerity."

  The names of the "price list" referred to by multiple account anchors are similar. Some are called "Latest Coin Recycling Price in 2022", while others are "Price List of Coins" and "Daquan of Coin Price List". Most of these price lists are priced around 20 yuan. Some price lists have been bought by 973 people, while others have been bought by nearly 500 people.

  The reporter paid 20 yuan to buy a price list and found that the content was a video of a few minutes and the price list corresponding to the year of the coin. According to the guide of the anchor, the reporter left a specific address in the private letter after payment, but after many days, the private letter did not respond.

  Induced download game

  Hide all kinds of advertisements

  Selling the so-called "price list" or one of the routines of "high-priced recycling" on the grounds that "the platform is not allowed to trade privately" in the live broadcast of coin recycling. What’s more, game advertisements are constantly implanted in the live broadcast to induce viewers to download mobile games to "make money".

  On a short video platform, an anchor with 1.8 million fans, hundreds of videos released before were short videos of life. Recently, there has been a continuous live broadcast explaining the relevant knowledge of coin recycling.

  At 10 o’clock in the evening, there are at most 300 people online in the live broadcast room of the anchor. "2 cents in 1985, 151 pieces; In 1953, 1 cent paper money, double Roman numerals, 90,000 yuan each … …” This anchor speaks very fast and looks very professional.

  Just when everyone was listening, he suddenly "changed" — — "Anchor anchor, I ‘ Raising pigs ’ Earned 500 yuan to the account. Yes, brothers, raising pigs can make money now. " Subsequently, the anchor began to introduce the mobile pig-raising game on the live page. He said that he "raised" 10 pigs and earned more than 200 yuan in 30 minutes. "As long as you have enough time for 20 minutes, you can earn 150 yuan, and the cash will be paid in seconds. Don’t let you invest, don’t let you spend money on feed, and don’t consume your traffic. " The anchor also showed the page that after downloading "Pig Raising", some users in their live broadcast room earned 500 yuan, some earned 3,000 yuan, and some earned 10,000 yuan. "Click on the yellow bell below the live room to download and install it on the mobile phone."

  The reporter downloaded a "pig-raising" game recommended by the anchor, and found that after the installation, it is necessary to authorize WeChat to log in. During the trial play, clicking on multiple props on the page may pop up various types of embedded advertisements, and prompt for receiving benefits. It is also quite laborious to quit the advertisement. However, the 43 yuan red envelope obtained after playing the game for a few minutes has a small line "You can withdraw all 1% of the red envelope". To improve "productivity", we should watch more advertisements and invite more friends.

  Beware of recycling the chain cover

  "The so-called ‘ High-priced recycling ’ Coins, food stamps, etc., as far as I know, may be ‘ Sell dog meat by hanging sheep’s head ’ . He actually mainly sells the so-called ‘ Price list ’ , rarely really recycle. If you really have some cents or food stamps designated by him, you will often be introduced to the auction and you have to pay money, which is a bit ‘ Chain sleeve ’ The meaning. " Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, said.

  Zhu Xi analyzed that some anchors sell price lists with the gimmick of "high price recycling", which actually allows consumers to buy goods on the basis of misunderstanding. According to the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, this is a fraud, and it needs to be "refunded for one and compensated for three". If it is less than 500 yuan, it needs to be compensated according to 500 yuan. The recommended game is basically "using the game as a carrier for advertising, which belongs to the old routine." Zhu Wei believes that these games are more likely to mislead the elderly, and it is necessary to strengthen the registration mechanism, prompt mechanism, exit mechanism, rejection mode and personal information protection of the games.

  Zhu Wei believes that short video platforms often have no way to distinguish between true and false content, but it is not without responsibility. According to the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Transactions", as long as there are goods hanging on the "little yellow car" in the live broadcast, the live broadcast playback must be kept for three years; At the same time, the anchor must be certified by real name; In addition, the platform should handle reports from users in a timely manner, and it should also conduct self-inspection at ordinary times. "Once the live broadcast involves violations, you can limit the flow and suspend the live broadcast rights until the title."
