Sometimes we can often see on social media and Moments: "Learn yoga for free, learn baking for free, lose weight for free, learn to lose weight and manage money in 21 days" and other promotional pictures of learning groups. This kind of group essence It takes advantage of modern people's knowledge anxiety and eagerness for success, attracts users through a few posters, and then completes the purpose of accumulating users, earning revenue, or more gray.
Firstly, through this method, many product operators can transfer users in the community to their own platforms to complete the accumulation of fans. For the platform, it increases users, and for the platform, it increases users. For users, learning knowledge and skills and receiving useful information is a win-win situation in itself, with no disadvantages.
The second one is that the free ones are often the most expensive. You must remember this sentence. Join the group to learn for free in the early stage, and the content in the early stage is often very high-quality or very attractive, making you feel that you have benefited a lot and would not be able to do without learning. Then when you want to continue learning, you have to open a membership or buy a course, which is also a routine.
The third type is gray income. After joining the free learning group, some are essentially MLM groups, some are gambling groups, and some are selling fake products to you (strength and weight loss, etc.) , this kind of community is very harmful to people and is targeted by major platforms. As a user, you must carefully identify, enhance your own awareness, be down-to-earth, do not believe too much in quick-fix methodologies, and be less speculative and take advantage of others
Recently, Shanghai Fengxian Police successfully cracked the online "gold speculation" scam case, 24 members of a suspected fraud gang headed by Pang were arrested in one fell swoop, with the amount involved reaching nearly 10 million yuan.

It turns out that there are more than 50 people in this group, and only the victim (Ms. Xia) is an investor. They are all trumpets operated by criminal gangs to create false impressions and encourage victims to invest large amounts of money.
This gang also privately designed and produced "gold speculation" software, and sent the download link to the victim. After the victim downloaded it, he asked the victim to transfer the investment money to the account attached to the software. This account was completely criminalized. After the victim transferred a large amount of money, the group immediately disbanded and disappeared.
