Is "low threshold and high income" a good part-time job?
"You can get a commission ranging from 50 yuan to 200 yuan per order when you take a photo of the buyer's show and submit it to the designated platform for publication." Such a post-auction advertisement has attracted many people's hearts.
Is this a good job for "easy money" or a "trap" in the name of recruiting online models?
A reporter from Beijing Youth Daily will take you to find out.
Make a commission for the buyer's show
"Join the platform to spend money to buy bank resources"
"Are you accepting and sending photos?" "No membership fee deposit, starting from 50 yuan for a single commission"... There will always be such recruitment information in the circle of friends, forums and social platform comment areas.
According to some merchants, in order to promote their products, some online shop merchants will send products to some Internet celebrities and amateurs for publicity and evaluation, or act as buyer shows, just to get a high-quality praise.
The commission standard has a lot to do with the number of fans of a personal account. For example, the price of a blogger with thousands of fans will be around tens to 100 yuan; the price of 10,000 fans is generally around 100 to 500 yuan; the price of more than 100,000 fans If the bloggers receive orders, they need to examine more dimensions. The account data is general and non-vertical accounts are generally one or two thousand yuan.
There are various types of clothing, mother and baby, beauty, food, cute pets, etc., all have demand for sending photos.
Many post-auction promotion accounts claim that they can get commissions ranging from 50 yuan to 200 yuan per order, which is "a good job with low threshold and high profit".
Gao Yang is a third-year student majoring in radio and television, and will be engaged in post-production from March 2021.
She introduced to the Beiqing Daily reporter that the platform for sending photos is the main channel for models to obtain resources, and joining the platform generally requires registration fees ranging from 200-300 yuan.
After paying the fee, the platform will organize simple vocational training, including order receiving methods, photography skills, common sense of anti-fraud, etc. After the training, models can take orders on the platform independently.
"It is equivalent to spending money to buy a resource to enter the industry." Gao Yang concluded.
Gao Yang told the Beiqing Daily reporter that there are three types of auction orders: replacement orders, commission orders, and promotion orders.
The replacement order refers to the merchant sending the product to the model, and there is no need to send the product back after the shooting, and generally no additional payment is required; the commission order requires the model to send the product back after the shooting, so the model needs to pay a deposit to avoid the loss of the product if it cannot be returned. ;Promotion single refers to the model with a certain number of fans in the group who take the order and post it on their own social platform. In addition to the shooting fee, there will be a promotion fee, and the profit is higher.
Economic freedom is not true
“Just a part-time job with low cost performance”
Gao Yang introduced that the three platforms she works on all require merchants to deposit money before they can place orders, but generally, after a few deposits, the platforms do not require merchants to continue to deposit, so in order to prevent merchants from disappearing after taking the deposit, they are very cautious in accepting orders.
On average, she receives an order every two or two days. Gao Yang said that she is a relatively prolific model on the platform. The online rumors of "monthly income of 10,000 yuan and economic freedom" are not true in her opinion. Inexpensive part-time jobs.”
Because the shooting of photos requires attention to the setting, angle and light, it is not enough to take a few pictures with a mobile phone to meet the requirements.
"I have to spend a lot of time on scene selection, collocation, shooting and retouching. The commission fee is generally 30-50 yuan after all this tossing, and I earn about 20 yuan after removing the shipping fee." Gao Yang said.
With a high degree of vigilance, Gao Yang has been engaged in the shooting industry for nearly a year and has never "overturned". However, her friend Wang Li was not so lucky and fell into the trap created by some "merchants" on the grounds of sending photos.
Just a month ago, Wang Li received an order for "send lipsticks" on the platform, and the commission was 10 yuan.
However, you need to receive a 50 yuan coupon to place an order and pay 20 yuan in advance.
During the communication, the other party "instructed" Wang Li to add the product to the shopping cart first, and after the screenshot was confirmed, a "QR code" coupon would be sent to Wang Li privately.
After Wang Li did as she did, the rules for receiving the coupons sent by the other party were a bit strange.
However, after scanning the code for the first time to get the coupon, Wang Li's payment failed because the "coupon expired". The other party sent Wang Li a "QR code" coupon again. At this time, Wang Li had already relaxed. Be vigilant, eager to receive coupons for payment, completely forgetting that your password-free payment has been opened.
The so-called "QR code coupon" is actually a collection code. After Wang Li paid more than 600 yuan without password, there was no news for convenience.
Upgraded version of "Billing"
"Cheated by a QR code coupon"
Wang Li reflected that in all kinds of "post-auction" scams, the methods are not very clever, and more people in the post-auction circle will be deceived by "swiping orders".
After joining the scammer's shooting platform, the other party will ask the model to download the APP to receive the order.
However, in order to be able to "distribute" more orders from the platform, models need to "do tasks" on the shooting platform to improve their level, and these "small tasks" are to swipe orders.
In order to hide from the public, the liar first packaged it with "doing the task", and promised to return a high commission after completing the task.
Initially, models can get a little sweetness in these tasks, and can successfully get commissions after brushing.
As the models relax their vigilance, the platform will lock the balance in the account. If you want to take out the money, you must go to "Overseas Taoism" and "Group Purchase" orders with higher amounts.
In order to "upgrade" and receive the auction order faster, and in order to get back the balance in the account, some models will continue to charge money to complete the so-called "task". At this time, they have completely fallen into the scammer's trap.
Wang Li told a reporter from Beiqing Daily that a netizen she knew on the Jipai platform was defrauded of nearly 40,000 yuan by this means on the so-called “Jipai APP”.
And although I have been cautious, never downloaded unknown APPs, and never participated in swiping orders, I was still stuck on a "QR code coupon".
"A low threshold will never lead to high income. If you believe that you can earn tens of thousands a month by shooting two buyer shows at home, then you are not far from being deceived."
A reporter from Beiqing Daily searched and found that police in Taizhou, Zhejiang, Suzhou, Jiangsu and other places have received similar police reports. The police's report reminded that this kind of "send photo" scam is actually an upgraded version of the "billing" scam. It is tempting to claim that not only a commission will be paid after completion, but also clothes for online shooting can be given away on the grounds of brushing sales and praise.
In fact, any "easy money" slogan is likely to be a swindle of liars.
The police reminded you not to believe information such as "high remuneration" and "high commission", and do not easily click or scan web links and QR codes sent by strangers. Call the police.

Lawyer's statement
"Fake photo shoot" suspected of multiple culpability
Chang Liang, a lawyer from Beijing Jiashan Law Firm, said that businesses often ask “online photographers” to pay a deposit first because they are afraid that “online photographers” will not submit photos and return goods as required. According to the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Fraud, the fraudulent public and private property valued at more than 3,000 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan constitutes a fraudulent recruitment information. If the amount of fraudulent elements is relatively large, criminal responsibility shall be pursued.
Of course, when the amount of fraud does not meet the sentencing standard of a relatively large amount, it does not mean that the criminals will not bear any responsibility. The criminals should eliminate the impact, apologize and compensate for the loss if they are suspected of infringing on the personal privacy of the "net shooter".
Zhao Jingpu, a lawyer from Beijing Dentons Law Firm, added that through fictitious transactions, creating false transaction records and false positive reviews, it violates social order and good customs, and violates relevant laws, administrative regulations and public interests. For example, private loan contracts, sales contracts, etc. generated between various entities in the process of swiping orders are at risk of being deemed invalid; when the swiping party does not receive the goods or commissions, claiming to deliver goods, pay remuneration, or refund, etc., cannot be Get support.
In addition, if the civil rights of others are violated in the process of swiping, the number of swiping and the remuneration for swiping may be used as the basis for determining the amount of infringement.
Merchants release false reviews by sending auctions to promote and increase product sales and obtain more potential product transactions, which may constitute false publicity or be identified as unfair competition.
It is also an act of publishing false advertisements for merchants to ask the senders to post false reviews or to advertise.
