"Software" rob Moutai on behalf of beware of leaking privacy
General Administration of Market Supervision: During the holiday season, inspections of key enterprises and commodities will be increased
As the Spring Festival approaches, the peak season for liquor sales is coming again.
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily visited the market and found that even though e-commerce and many supermarket chains put a large amount of cheap Moutai in December 2020, the price of spot Moutai that can be bought in the terminal market is still above 2800 yuan. .
"Grabbing Moutai online" has become a daily routine for some netizens recently, and this has also given birth to a new business for scalpers-online grabbing Moutai.
It's hard to buy after heavy volume
Online grabs Maotai "smart move"
A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily learned that the Moutai Group increased its direct sales channels in the fourth quarter of 2020. It launched 4,160 tons of Feitian Moutai at a price of 1,499 yuan. Based on the calculation of about 2,124 bottles per ton, there are about 8.83 million bottles of cheap Moutai. The market is 1.57 times the volume in 2019.
In addition, Moutai Group has established cooperation with 68 direct sales channels, such as Carrefour, SF Express and many other merchants joined the cheap Moutai sales camp in December 2020.
Among the original cooperative e-commerce platforms, JD.com expects to release 600,000 bottles in the same month, Suning is expected to release 500,000 bottles, and Tmall platform releases over 400,000 bottles.
However, a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily tried to buy cheap Moutai on multiple platforms. It lasted for nearly a week, and almost every time it was displayed as "sold out" at the moment of clicking to buy.
Occasionally, I jumped to the payment page, and it displayed "too many purchasers..." before the payment window popped up, and the transaction failed.
It is not only reporters who have this experience, but also on social media, many netizens say that Moutai is more difficult to grab as the volume increases.
According to data, as of January 3, 2021, the number of reservations for JD's parity Moutai exceeded 1.64 million, and Suning nearly 800,000.
Some netizens used all kinds of tricks in order to grab the cheap Moutai: there are websites that recommend the calibration time, which can control the error within 0.1 seconds to improve the "timeliness" of placing orders; there are purchase "like artifacts" to improve "hand speed" Some "technology flows" analyze the "time difference" of network signal propagation to measure the difference between signal transmissions, and then analyze when the buy button should be clicked... After the "blessing" of these technologies failed, some netizens thought The one is looking for scalpers.
Anti-scalping strategy upgrade
Scalpers buy first-hand Moutai space is compressed
"I went to the scalper gang to grab it. I used my account to add 300 yuan to a bottle, which is still much cheaper than the market." Mr. Zhao, a citizen, said that in order to grab Moutai, he deliberately set up multiple e-commerce members, but still nothing Can grab it, seeing it is about to celebrate, so I thought of looking for a scalper.
"Online grab maotai, only 260 yuan", "grab the payment, change my mind temporarily, I can also receive", "600 yuan on behalf of the grab, Dongge platform, guaranteed grab", "stability 0 second order"... …Open the Moutai discussion area of the second-hand trading platform and some social software, you can see many posts of the above content.
A reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily noted that most of these scalpers who rob Maotai on behalf of the scalpers bid 260 yuan to 600 yuan per bottle.
With the further upgrade of the strategy of preventing scalpers from reselling Moutai, many platforms that cooperate with Moutai have launched policies that restrict purchases for a period of time and that buyers need to have a certain threshold, which greatly reduces the space for scalpers to buy first-hand and affordable Moutai. But this does not mean that they have no business to do.
The existence of scalpers is not unrelated to the huge gap between the recommended retail price of Moutai and the market terminal price.
A reporter from the Beiqing Daily visited the market recently and found that in the Moutai specialty store, the cheap Moutai of 1499 yuan was "out of stock", while the so-called "vintage wine" on sale, that is, the price of non-produced Moutai was close to the 3,000 yuan mark.
Some such as the 1.5L or 3L specifications of the 53-degree flying Maotai that year, the unit price of 500ml equivalent to even more than 3000 yuan.
For some dealers, bypassing the “threshold” set by Moutai and storing Moutai that should have been sold at a fair price in the name of “old wine” for one year can double the price and several times the profit. "Fried Moutai" is always happy.
Robber software leaks personal privacy
Producer violated the law
A reporter from the Beiqing Daily found in the communication with the scalpers that the so-called "on behalf of looting" must use the client's own account, and during the period of looting, the account and password must be given to the scalpers.
Since most scalpers cannot be guaranteed to grab them at one time, it takes one to two weeks for a long period. Therefore, it can be said that the account and password are always in the hands of the scalpers during the rush period.
During this period, the scalpers can view all the information of the account, including private information such as the recipient's name, address, and contact information. Some platform accounts also have stored value and points redemption functions.
Regarding the doubts raised by the reporters of the Beijing Youth Daily that it is not safe to hand over the account and password, some scalpers said that they could sell the software they used to buy the software, and provide education and advice.
The price of the software is about the same as the cost of looting, and some are slightly lower.
However, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter noticed that the Economic Investigation Corps of the Public Security Department of Anhui Province has issued a public reminder: When consumers make online purchases, they should choose legal and regular websites, and try not to use unofficial plug-ins such as spike devices.
According to the police, for bidding through the "online shopping spike device", users must enter their bank account and password in advance, and then use the spike device to make payment after the spike is successful.
Criminals just use this feature to bundle the seckiller with "Alipay hijacking Trojan horse", or directly disguise the Trojan horse program as a seckiller, and use "free seckill, rapid seckill" and other promotional content to tempt users to click to download the virus Trojan. The bundled installation package caused Internet users’ computers to be poisoned, and was later implanted with remote control and Internet banking virus hacking, which eventually led to the disclosure of bank card information and theft of funds in the card by criminals.
The production and sale of such software has violated the law.
In 2017, the People's Court of Yingze District of Taiyuan City sentenced a software rush case. Three producers and sellers of rushed software were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and fined for "providing programs and tools for intruding and illegally controlling computer information systems" .
