There are a large number of "high imitation" fund manager accounts on multiple platforms
The "idolization" of the fund circle reflects the blind obedience of some investors. Investors should invest rationally
A few days ago, with the improvement of the semiconductor industry market, well-known fund manager Cai Haosong also "out of the circle" at the same time, is well known by many ordinary investors.
The reporter searched for "Cai Haosong" on some short video platforms, and more than a dozen related accounts appeared. However, according to the verification of relevant persons, these more than ten accounts are not his own, and even the first account is "Li Gui".
Many users questioned, "Why doesn't the platform strengthen audits and restrictions on celebrity accounts?" Some people also said that the "idolization" of the fund circle reflects the blind obedience of some investors and reminds everyone to invest rationally.
A large number of celebrity accounts have been "counterfeited"
The reporter saw on multiple platforms that Cai Haosong's avatar was used on many counterfeit accounts. Among them, the top ranked has nearly 4,000 fans, and he has recently released many investment-related videos.
Under the most confusing account, more than a dozen short videos have been released, including an introduction to Cai Haosong’s investment philosophy, which has received thousands of likes and hundreds of comments.
There are also many similar fake accounts on social platforms such as Xiaohongshu.
Some of them directly use "Luo'an Fund" in their names, and some are called "Luo'an Fund Manager Cai Haosong", with their real portraits, which are enough to be fake.
In fact, not only Cai Haosong of Lion Fund, but also many well-known fund managers including Zhang Kun of Yi Fangda, Ge Lan of China Europe Fund, Xie Zhiyu of Xingquan Fund, etc., all have several accounts with the same name or counterfeit accounts on some platforms.
"High imitation" is mostly for making money
In fact, this identity counterfeiting problem has always existed on social platforms.
Previously, there were a large number of celebrity "high imitation" accounts on Weibo, such as taking advantage of the time when the celebrity himself had not yet entered, register the account with the same name, or after some real-name accounts, by adding "-"", "l" "1" V" or slightly modified nickname and other methods, apply for the relevant account.
Some analysts said, “Most of the high imitation accounts are to make money. In this era where traffic is king, many people have the idea of these traffic IPs, such as names, avatars, and incidents... In order to divert your account. Weibo readings and other data are not easy to falsify, but it is the core condition of the advertising offer. Therefore, some people have made crooked ideas. Just attracting fans is the goal."
The above-mentioned person stated that, except for some people who simply like celebrities and want to get likes and comments because of their vanity, most of the high imitation accounts are obviously misleading. In the later period, they either turned into micro-sellers to sell fakes or pick up small ones. Advertisement, "For example, an advertisement may be several thousand yuan or ten thousand yuan, and it can be deleted after a day, so you can make a monthly income of tens of thousands of dollars by just getting an account. This income is very considerable." Or it is "keeping an account." After having a certain number of fans, he sold this account to others.
The worst of them is fraud
Earlier, a Weibo counterfeited the celebrity himself and sent a private message to fans saying, "My mobile phone is restricted and cannot make international calls. You can call me manager Chen of XX Airlines and ask me about the reservation of the three ticket reservations. Alright? His mobile phone number is 13X. Tell him, you must reserve it for me." Finally, the other party used the excuses of "saturation of foreign exchange account", "advanced baggage freight", "payment of deposit to reserve air ticket" and other excuses. Fraud.
According to information, some fans lost tens of thousands of yuan in money, and fans in a certain QQ group lost more than 2 million yuan.
The well-known economist Li Daxiao also publicly stated that many people use their names and avatars, and even photos of books to open Weibo. For such accounts, they will directly report them when they see them.
Weibo reminded that if you encounter any friend borrowing money online, you must phone to verify your identity; if the two parties communicate in private on Weibo, you must carefully identify the account number and whether it is the account used by the person involved; you must use multiple communication channels Identity verification can be done through phone calls, text messages or communication tools on other platforms; it is recommended that qualified users do personal identity verification to increase recognition and avoid counterfeiting.
Even if there is no authentication, you should pay attention to your own private information and try not to disclose too much personal private information; if you find that your account has been impersonated, go to the homepage of the impersonated account and report it.
Some analysts believe that as more and more celebrities themselves enter Weibo and undergo "V" authentication, the space for high imitation accounts will become smaller and smaller.
However, in the emerging short video and social platforms, because I have not yet authenticated, or even settled in, so the scammers can take advantage.

Should fund managers "out of the circle"?
In addition to questioning the review mechanism of social platforms, the phenomenon of fund managers "out of the circle" has also received attention.
Some analysts believe that the "idolization" of fund managers reflects the blindness of many investors.
"In the past, investment managers were trading behind the scenes. Investors might choose from the historical performance of the fund, the rate of return on investment, the ups and downs of the market, and other perspectives. The account number shows people's blind obedience."
On social networks, the reporter saw fans spontaneously set up the "E Fund Zhang Kun Global Support Association" for Yi Fang Da Zhang Kun, and insisted on ranking in the Chaohua community.
In addition, many fund managers such as Zhou Yingbo of China Europe Fund also have their own "fan clubs". In elevator advertisements, short video platforms, and investment apps, there are even personal advertising videos of investment managers. This is something that the fund circle has never seen before. There has been a phenomenon.
"For the Citizens, we cannot one-sidedly magnify the personal role of star fund managers. They mistakenly believe that as long as they are star fund managers, they will not lose money, and even take their words as a standard."
