▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation At the beginning of 2022, Amazon officially reported several investigations into cross-border e-commerce gray and black industry organizations and illegal sellers. Obviously, cross-border e-commerce has gone through the era of wild growth, and the official crackdown on illegal activities will not stop. In the future, cross-border e-commerce will develop in a compliant environment. However, even though the general public recognizes this trend, there are still a small number of service providers and sellers who do not realize the seriousness of the problem and are doing the opposite, driving cross-border racing cars into a dangerous no-man's land. Amazon registration part-time jobs are popular, what are the risks behind it? Recently, I often receive private messages like the one shown below, asking whether it is reliable to register for a part-time job on Amazon and what risks are involved. This phenomenon caught our attention, and we found that on a certain social platform, we could search for a lot of information or questions about Amazon data trading and account registration part-time jobs: "There is a part-time Amazon registration, you can earn 500 yuan, it takes about a week." "I have a part-time job registering an Amazon store. I need to bind my ID card and bank card to become the legal representative of the company. Is there any trick?" "Registering an Amazon cross-border store with a high salary of 600 yuan per person, is this a part-time job ok and is it safe?" ▲ The picture comes from the Internet In fact, such incidents are not unfamiliar in the cross-border circle. Similar phenomena were reported last year. For details, please refer to the previous article "Unlimited Cloning of Amazon Accounts? Bribing Laymen, Coercing Employees, the Registration Waters Are Too Deep!" According to a service provider, the above-mentioned behavior was very prevalent before 2021, and most service providers on the market relied on similar means to register accounts in batches and resell them. Surprisingly, even though Amazon has set up many levels of verification for the authenticity of accounts, there are still many people who use this registration method to make profits. On certain social platforms, such advertisements and information are everywhere and widely spread. ▲ The picture comes from the Internet Looking at the above advertisements, the information only states the remuneration and purpose of the information, and emphasizes that it is very easy to complete a part-time job, but does not mention the hidden dangers behind it. Therefore, many outsiders, under the temptation of the so-called "high salary", easily sell their identity information, but they do not know that there are huge risks and hidden dangers. ▲ The picture comes from the Internet So what specific risks does this behavior pose to sellers and buyers? 1. For information providers First of all, if the seller uses materials provided by other legal persons to register an account, this behavior itself will pose legal risks. Secondly, if the seller uses this information to register a store and evades taxes, or uses this store to do other illegal things, and any problems arise, the first person in charge of the business license will be fully responsible , which means that the information provider will be "blamed". Amazon is blocking accounts more and more frequently nowadays, and sellers are most worried about the security of their accounts. Currently, accounts generally require video verification, postcard verification and other related audits. If the legal person is not cooperative enough and cannot be found, real-name authentication cannot be completed. Furthermore, the materials provided by part-time workers are prone to industrial and commercial anomalies, and the store is also prone to being blocked. Therefore, the biggest problem with buying such an account is that the risk is too high, and there is no way to solve any problem. For intermediaries, the biggest loss may involve illegal activities. If investigated in depth, the consequences are unimaginable. For example, in 2021, the public security organs of Ye County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, completed an investigation into a case involving illegal trading of citizens' personal identity information and company business licenses, attempting to register accounts on Amazon and profit from them. The relevant persons involved in the case have been arrested by local public security organs in accordance with the law. Therefore, both sellers and service providers should pay attention to this issue and avoid purchasing information or accounts from unknown sources to avoid being involved in more disputes. If you really need to register an account on someone else's behalf or buy or sell a store, you can go to the official website homepage, and click [Store Buying and Selling] in the common toolbar for consultation. In addition to the part-time registration job mentioned above, there is also a cross-border scam that is quietly emerging, and many sellers have fallen into it and cannot extricate themselves. Tik Tok investment conference turned out to be a scam, cheating sellers out of 39,000 yuan? It was learned that in November last year, a seller posted a blog to reveal that he received a call from Tik Tok's investment promotion team, stating that only company leaders were allowed to attend and they needed to bring their business licenses. Active registrations were not accepted and only invitations were accepted by phone. The other party packaged the meeting as very high-end, and the meeting place was not notified until the same day. After arriving at the site, they were asked not to take photos or videos, and their phones had to be muted. However, after the meeting started, the sellers felt more and more suspicious. A half-hour-long Tik Tok official video was played on site, but the upper right corner showed that it was from Youku. Every part of the meeting was played with hot dance music, old PPTs and exciting speeches, which made the sellers begin to doubt the authenticity of this investment promotion meeting. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Finally, the agency stated that the fee for this investment promotion was 29,800 yuan a year. It was not until this point that the sellers came to realize that this was actually a training institution making money by selling products in the name of investment promotion. It is understood that there is no charge for Tik Tok account and store entry. When sales are generated, the TikTok store currently charges a 5% commission from the platform. There is no such high entry fee, and official personnel will not contact merchants from other platforms to attend the conference privately. Obviously, this is a training conference with obvious intentions, and the official personnel mentioned by the organizer are most likely in disguise. The purpose is to dispel the sellers' doubts and make the sellers sign a huge training contract with the company. And from the pictures taken at the scene, there were hundreds of people attending the conference. If all the participants took paid training, the service provider would make a profit of up to millions after one conference. Coincidentally, recently, a seller with the same experience broke the news, saying that he was also deceived in the "Tik Tok Investment Conference" and paid a high entry fee of 39,600 yuan to the other party. The seller said that the meeting was held in a hotel in Bao'an, Shenzhen. The entire meeting was arranged in the name of TikTok, which made it difficult for people to doubt. After the meeting, the seller signed a contract with the other party on the spot, agreeing to be responsible for the full guidance of TikTok and the independent station for 6 months. But after careful consideration, the seller felt that there were many doubts, so he searched for relevant information about the company on the Internet. He found that some netizens had left messages saying that the company had used WeChat mini-programs to commit fraud, and had a record of contract disputes with many companies , as well as a record of being enforced by the court . The seller then realized that he had been cheated. ▲ The picture comes from the Internet However, according to feedback from sellers who have signed contracts, the company did not actually perform some of the services in the contract, and the mini-programs it provided also had many problems. The seller added that this company has been holding such large-scale conference promotion activities for several years, with the purpose of attracting more merchants and obtaining high entry fees. Currently, thousands of sellers have been deceived, involving huge amounts of money. If there are other sellers who have encountered the same situation, please add the editor's WeChat and communicate with each other. At the same time, we would like to remind the majority of sellers and cross-border practitioners to be more discerning about institutions that charge high training fees in the name of investment promotion, so as to avoid being ripped off by unscrupulous businesses.
