According to the report, from 20 16 to 20 18, there were 258 cybercrime cases in China, among which fraud cases accounted for the highest proportion, accounting for 31.83%; Followed by the crime of opening a casino, the proportion of cases is 10.45%.
Fraudsters mainly use WeChat to commit fraud. The proportion of such cases in all online fraud cases has increased rapidly year by year, and it has surpassed QQ by 20 17. With the decrease in the proportion of QQ, WeChat accounted for about 20% more than QQ in 20 18.
Therefore, the popularity of WeChat makes it a tool frequently used by 20 18 cyber fraud criminals.
The report also shows that fraudsters swindle victims by impersonating others, recruiting, making friends, advertising, shopping (during shopping) and other means or words when implementing online fraud cases, among which impersonation cases account for the highest proportion, accounting for about 3 1.52%.
Judging from the means of impersonation, most fraudsters in online fraud cases pretend to be women, acquaintances, staff of state organs or institutions, buyers and sellers, banks and professionals.
Of course, those who love to take advantage of small things and want to get rich overnight.
This kind of person is particularly gullible. As long as they draw a pie that looks delicious, there must be many people who want to believe that there are still good things in the world.
Speaking of which, I can't help but think of some questions and answers I saw in the Trademark Office before. The consultant was asked to add WeChat by the company claiming to be the filing institution directly under the Trademark Office. Because of doubts about this statement, I went to the Trademark Office for verification.
The Trademark Office gave a negative answer and asked the consultants not to believe the information spread through unofficial channels.
Fortunately, they know to ask the Trademark Office before adding WeChat to avoid being cheated.
However, some netizens said that the Trademark Office was bureaucratic and felt that the reply was not painful at all. Some netizens accused the Trademark Office of failing to seal up these institutions in time.
In fact, the Trademark Office often receives a large number of such complaints, because the amount of information is too large to be handled in time, so it can only help deceived trademark applicants to investigate unscrupulous institutions and deal with them in the order of complaints.
Can you handle it all?
You know, such trademark agencies are everywhere. Even if they are seized and fined today, it will be a big deal to change their place and name, avoid this storm and make a comeback.
What's more, the Trademark Office has long informed the public that "eight kinds of agencies are suspected of illegal acts", reminding the public to beware of being deceived. The eight suspected illegal acts of trademark agencies pointed out in the circular include:
1. Falsely publicize the relationship with SAIC and the Trademark Office, claiming that he has been approved by the Trademark Office, has long-term cooperation with the Trademark Office, has internal channels, and is the general lawyer with SAIC;
2. Claiming to be awarded the relevant honorary title by the Trademark Office, forging false honors such as licensing and awarding by the Trademark Office;
3. Promise that the applicant 100% will apply for a trademark through its agent or provide a contract;
4. Declare that the trademark application of its agent can be accepted, examined and registered quickly;
5. Forge the information of trademark application review process and other documents to mislead the trademark applicant;
6. Solicit business by exaggerating the success rate of trademark rejection review and deceiving the applicant to change the review or litigation agent;
7. Deceive the applicant by collecting fees other than the trademark application fee, such as "registration fee", "trademark application insurance fee" and "trademark pre-protection fee";
8. The gang tricked the applicant into accepting the relevant trademarks and arranged for others to file malicious applications such as revocation, objection and invalidity. And trick the applicant into withdrawing the relevant application after paying a high fee.
Do you see it? The Trademark Office has explained it in Articles 1 and 2. I really can't blame them for not closing those unscrupulous trademark agencies in time. There are too many such institutions, which are completely out of control! That's why they issued a notice here, so that the majority of trademark applicants should be careful when looking for trademark agencies!
Of course, not everyone has this kind of vigilance. It is not uncommon to easily believe the information sent by an agency on WeChat and fall into the trap and suffer big losses.
20 16 Mr. Xu from Suzhou wants to register a trademark. He found a trademark agency in this area and paid 2000 yuan in advance. Unexpectedly, it was not long before the agency said that Mr. Xu needed to pay another 8,000 yuan to verify the originality of the registered trademark. Fortunately, Mr. Xu suspects that the other party may be a liar. After carefully inquiring about all the procedures that require trademark registration, he found that he was really cheated.
20 17 Mr. Li of Zhengzhou started his own business and wanted to establish his own trademark brand. The result was fooled by the trademark agency and fell into the trap of "secondary development". In the end, he spent 440,000 yuan on Shui Piao, which made Mr. Li feel bitter.
Also on 20 17, a man in Jiyang entrusted a trademark agency to help register the trademark. As a result, he spent more than 10 thousand yuan and didn't see his registered trademark. Finally, the trademark agency lost contact.
There is also a Mr. Wang from Dongying, Shandong Province who wants to register a trademark, but accidentally falls into a chain scam. First, it was fooled by the agency to "rush" the registration, and later it was necessary to register the "net mark". The whole process cost 30 thousand. Finally, he found himself cheated.
There are so many trademark scams like this that it is impossible for the Trademark Office to stop them before such organizations commit crimes.
Or simply block WeChat? It is impossible to think with your toes!
Instead of banning this and that, it is better to convince trademark applicants that they are directly under the Trademark Office, not to mention what they brag about on WeChat.
If you want to find a reliable, honest and unpretentious professional trademark agency, in fact, as long as you take the initiative to do a survey.
1. Check whether the agency is legal. All legal trademark agencies have been filed with the Trademark Office and have been granted legal trademark agency qualifications. In addition, they logged into the national enterprise credit information publicity system to inquire about the registration and administrative punishment of the institution.
2. Get to know the agency on the spot before signing the contract. For example, check its business license and company website, and it is best to go to its company in person.
3. Master certain trademark knowledge, master trademark application procedures, pay attention to the registration application dynamics in real time, and avoid trusting the promises of the agency.
4. Carefully choose trademark agencies with low agency fees. Carefully select the institutions that promise 100% registration success. Trademark agency experts can only improve the success rate of trademark registration through professional analysis, and cannot guarantee its 100% success.
5. Try to entrust an organization that was established early and has a large number of registrations. Because these institutions have high credibility, strong security and reasonable fees, they can better protect the legitimate rights and interests of applicants.
Finally, I remind you to find a trademark agency to help you with related matters. Knowing the contents of trademark transfer in advance will provide a good foundation for the development of your company. Of course, when looking for a trademark agency, we must make plans and arrangements in advance to avoid disputes over rights and interests.
