Inducing college student loans: why companies that have been complained about can grow wildly
A few days ago, the topic of "group fights in a model company in Xi'an" caused widespread concern. Subsequently, many girls who claimed to have signed contracts with the company reported that they were deceived online, claiming that they had signed a part-time model contract with Shaanxi Xuanyue Model Agency and were induced to use Online loans and other methods paid thousands of yuan in promotion fees, but after that they only made 100 yuan a month or could not receive activities.
According to the report, the cause of the incident was that Ms. Zhang and a group of 4 people went to the model company to request a refund, had a dispute with the company staff, and were beaten.
Online video shows that at the scene of the conflict, staff members shouted "shut the door and hit the dead" and collectively violent defenders in broad daylight. Such arrogant behavior made the company the focus of public opinion.
Currently, the public security agency has filed a case for investigation.
The intensive online rights protection information shows that this conflict is not accidental. The company involved in the case of fraudulently obtaining money through contract traps has long become a common routine, with hundreds of part-time models being deceived.
The deception of the model company is not complicated.
First, the company will search for candidates online, and then sign a contract with the part-time model interviewed, promising to arrange shooting tasks for them, but at the same time require them to pay a certain promotion fee to the company.
After signing the contract and getting the promotion fee, the company will indeed send the order, but the money that a part-time model can earn is far from covering the promotion fee paid.
In addition to taking money and doing nothing, the model company will deliberately conceal the actual business situation of the company when signing the contract, to please the part-time models in every way, and promise to induce them to sign the contract with various considerable returns.
For those who cannot afford the promotion fee, the staff will also induce them to raise the promotion fee through online loan channels.
From the accounts of some parties, similar scams have become an unspoken rule of the industry, and there are far more companies suspected of fraud than this one.
For example, someone in the industry mentioned that some model agency companies may not have a shooting business at all, and they rely solely on earning promotion fees and signing fees to maintain their operations. The business model is bluffing and deceiving.
In order to avoid risks, the company will often design carefully in terms of contracting techniques and contract details to facilitate exemption from liability in case of disputes.
In addition, many of the victims are undergraduates who have not been involved in the world, and they are unavoidable to fall into the trap because of the lack of professionalism in the risk control of contracts.
But in any case, such industry behaviors of defrauding money are not only suspected of contract fraud, seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of victims, but also deriving certain financial risks.
Of course, in similar scams, those who are deceived also have their own mistakes, such as failing to read the contract terms in detail.
Therefore, to prevent falling into the trap of fraud, individuals must increase their awareness of prevention.
But what needs more reflection is how this kind of chaos grows brutally?
In fact, using high income as the bait to trick victims into paying various promotion or contracting fees is no longer an industry secret.
On the Internet, you can find a lot of information about complaints about rights protection; and the Xuan Yue model agency involved in the turmoil was exposed by the local media in October last year and was also subject to law enforcement inspections by the labor inspection department.
In addition, Tianyan Check information showed that the company was involved in multiple education and training contracts and disputes over unjust enrichment.
Then, after encountering the last round of public exposure and collective rights protection, why such a company with bad reputations and fraud risks in its business model can still exist safely, and continue to deceive or even arrogantly beat others?
In the final analysis, the illegal confidence of the companies involved is due to the lack of industry supervision and law enforcement.
Under the premise of insufficient punishment in the industry and the cost of illegality is not high enough, model companies naturally dare to take risks, and they can "idle" to collect money without actual business.
As far as victims are concerned, in the absence of law enforcement, excessive labor rights protection costs will also contribute to the occurrence of related fraud.
As far as this matter is concerned, investigating the company involved is far from the end of the incident.
In view of the fact that similar phenomena are quite common, local authorities have to draw inferences from one another, systematically rectify the entire industry, and establish regulations for the industry with high-pressure governance to prevent its development from going astray.
