[Small case] When the collection crosses the ocean and goes to the international auction …

The treasured treasure was appraised as the best by Jianbao experts.

Go abroad before the collector himself.

Boarded the international auction!

Seeing that I am about to embark on the peak of my life

The collection is frequently auctioned at auctions.

Is it true that no one knows the pearl?

Brief introduction of the case

Mr. Fang registered as a member of a collection company on the Internet, and under the telephone guidance of the business specialist, he mailed his own collection to the company for identification.

"Authentic, very old, priceless!" Soon after, Mr. Fang received feedback, saying that Jianbao experts with decades of experience identified it as genuine. From a professional point of view, the business specialist suggested that Mr. Fang could sell the collection at a high price through overseas auctions or fairs. Mr. Fang paid the appraisal fee, the collection certificate making fee and the overseas auction fees, totaling 30,300 yuan, and entrusted the company to act as an auction agent.

On the day of the auction, Mr. Fang received a live auction video from "Crossing the Ocean". To his surprise, his collection was actually auctioned. The collection company promised to continue to help it auction overseas. However, the news received several times was either that the auction failed or the transaction failed, and Mr. Fang chose to call the police.

After receiving the report, the public security organ smashed the fraud dens with auction of antique collections as bait and arrested 15 people.

Court hearing

The court found through trial that the defendants Luo and Guo negotiated to set up a cultural media company to commit fraud, and recruited the defendant Wu as an expert, the defendant Tang as a business manager, and the defendant Zhang and other five people as business group leaders, each of which has its own salesmen. The company induced the victim to take the initiative to register and contact through network promotion, and then the business manager distributed the contact information of the victim to each group leader. Each group leader organized the salesman to contact the victim by telephone according to the "telephone bill" scheme, and induced the victim to bring or mail the "collection" to the company, and the "appraisal expert" Wu Mou made the "appraisal". Later, the salesman deliberately exaggerated the value of the collection and lied that it could be sold at a high price through overseas auctions or fairs, and charged an appraisal fee.

In order to trick the victims and prevent them from calling the police or complaining, the company made false auction videos and false trading photos and sent them to the victims to create the illusion that the company was trading or auctioning the collection. After the "transaction fails" or "the collection is sold", the victim will continue to sell the collection for him until the victim loses confidence and stops asking questions, or even directly blackouts the contact information of the victim. In the above way, the company defrauded 24 victims totaling 432,900 yuan.

The court ruled that the defendant Guo and other 15 people, for the purpose of illegal possession, fabricated facts, concealed the truth, and defrauded other people’s property, all of which constituted fraud. Later, the defendant Guo refused to accept the appeal and the original judgment was upheld in the second instance.

The judge reminded

An overseas auction video, except for the "auctioned" collection on the stage, is not sure whether it is true or false, and all buyers and items on the scene are "fakes"; In a Jianbao company, the seemingly authoritative Jianbao expert is actually an unemployed person with only a high school education, and all the eloquent "managers and teachers" are also social personnel who have been trained in fixed speech routines. No one really cares about the authenticity of the collection, and it is carefully planned just to invite you into the urn.

The judge specially reminded that criminals often pretend to be formal companies in order to gain the trust of customers, with complete personnel structure and clear division of labor, which is extremely confusing on the surface. Please keep a clear head of collectors, don’t easily believe the high-priced "collectibles" boasted by others and the promise of being able to auction at a high price, and raise anti-fraud awareness.
