Making fake seals and privately printing contracts! Criminals use the name of big sellers to defraud


As the scale of the cross-border e-commerce market continues to expand, while attracting many overseas investors, various chaos in the industry are becoming more frequent, such as impersonating official names, false training operations and other malicious incidents.

 
Some time ago, the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Administration just investigated and dealt with a case of infringement of trade secrets: an employee of a cross-border company illegally leaked business information to a competing company, and colluded with others to make a profit of 450,000 yuan, causing significant losses to the company and profit losses of approximately 4 million yuan.
 
In recent days, it has been observed that some unscrupulous organizations have committed fraud in the name of big sales in cross-border e-commerce.
 
 
It is learned that recently, the cross-border e-commerce giant Tongtuo Technology issued a solemn statement.
 
According to the statement, the company recently received a report that criminals had used the name of Tongtuo Technology and forged the official seal, committing fraud under the pretext of providing training on opening and operating cross-border stores.

In view of the serious adverse impact caused by the illegal acts of making fake seals and privately printing contracts, Tongtuo Technology hereby issues this solemn statement:


1. The company has not recruited students for training in the name of "Tongtuo Cross-border College", nor has it authorized any third party or individual to conduct related business. Any training activities claimed by any individual or third-party organization to be conducted on behalf of Tongtuo are illegal and have nothing to do with Tongtuo.
2. The company uses public accounts to collect payments for external cooperation and will not use personal accounts.
3. In response to the illegal acts of using the name of Tongtuo to carry out training, operation and enrollment fraud, the company will report the case to the public security organs in accordance with the law and investigate the legal responsibilities of the relevant personnel.


Finally, Tongtuo issued a reminder to industry insiders: Consumers and customers need to pay attention to raising their awareness of prevention, carefully identify the other party's identity, do not transfer money easily, and be careful to avoid being deceived and causing property losses.
 
In recent years, as inflation has led to continued consumption downgrades and international disputes have continued, the cross-border e-commerce world has been in turmoil. The sharp drop in sales has not only brought about profit anxiety among cross-border sellers, but also cross-border scams that continue to emerge in the sluggish industry and attempt to "take advantage of the sellers' distress."
 
In fact, in addition to Tongtuo, other big sellers in Shenzhen have had similar experiences before.
 
In October 2022, Shenzhen's big seller Yibai Network issued a statement about guarding against online fraud , stating that criminals were impersonating Yibai Network and its affiliated companies to conduct online part-time job/fake order fraud.

But in the final analysis, as regulatory policies of various countries and platforms become stricter, such scams that attempt to profit from bad behavior will eventually be exposed, and the future cross-border industry will inevitably develop in a compliant environment.
 
Nowadays, the cross-border e-commerce industry is still in a mixed stage. Hereby remind all sellers that they still need to follow the path of compliance when going overseas to seek gold, and carefully analyze the risks of each link of cross-border e-commerce. If it involves capital transactions, they must be cautious to prevent being deceived.
