It is no exaggeration to say that at least 80% of the investment companies currently active in Chinese mainland are fraudulent companies. These so-called investment companies are essentially fraudulent companies, either with poor level or superb acting skills. How to identify investment and financing fraud companies? I. Inquiries about industrial and commercial registration If the "investment company" you contacted has not obtained industrial and commercial registration in Chinese mainland, then the probability of 99% is: it is a fraudulent company; If the "investment company" is a representative office of a foreign company in a city in China, it is also necessary to obtain the registration of the resident representative office of a foreign enterprise; You should go to the administrative department for industry and commerce where the company operates to inquire about the relevant registration. But the more convenient way is to inquire through the enterprise information network sponsored or recognized by the administrative department for industry and commerce. Second, the names of fraud companies are generally gorgeous. At present, fraud companies are mostly in the name of a Beijing representative office of an international investment group in a certain country, and they will also set up their own offices in relatively decent offices. Especially those fraudulent companies that have been registered in industry and commerce, worked in high-end office buildings, and even involved foreigners, are extremely deceptive and it is difficult for ordinary people to identify them in a short time. You know, only by investing a certain amount of money can you get more money, so the project party must not judge whether it has the ability to invest. 3. Liar companies have many business personnel and low quality. Such a company is unwilling to pay a lot of money to invite professionals to do business. Liar companies generally do not have the basic ability to train these low-quality employees themselves, and they will not spend too much energy on so-called training. So they are liars, that is, they are different from those who are proficient in investment and financing industry rules, can control the direction of investment and financing, and can obtain sufficient funds from third parties. Most of them lack understanding of specific substantive business, which is easy to see when discussing the project in depth during the negotiation process. In the process of negotiation, the liar will not discuss with you in depth, but will only talk with you about how to borrow money, necessary procedures and expenses. Specifically, it is a representative office of an international investment group. Even the worst foreign companies will recruit clerks with corresponding knowledge level in their overseas representative offices. At the very least, they must understand the language of the country, otherwise how can they communicate with the "first generation"? Especially investment and financing, a knowledge-intensive and capital-intensive industry! Fourth, I prefer "clean" projects. The so-called "clean" is a project that other investment companies have not touched. They have not experienced investment projects and are not familiar with thorny issues, so they are easily manipulated by these fraudulent companies by using so-called industry practices, group work norms, international practices and other rhetoric. We can often see that the project parties who have experienced the so-called fraudulent company negotiations for the first time hold a sincere attitude of cooperation and regard the investment company as a savior. They hope to open the door to financing from the signing of the letter of intent for financing, and finally draw water with a sieve. It makes people feel really sad! This is exactly what the old saying goes: "Experience is also a valuable asset! 5. Liar companies generally don't like the project where the company is located. As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. Liar companies generally don't intervene in local projects, so if there are real local projects, they will refuse, maybe they will definitely refuse, and maybe they will push them off on the pretext that the conditions are not mature. You know, if you cheat a local company and get called to your door every day, how can they cheat normally! Foreign project parties are different. Once you make trouble, you have to go to a fraud company from other places. The cost is too high, and it is impossible to make a theory every day. Liar companies have seized this point and settled foreign project parties. 6. The investment company that designates the intermediary service agency will require the project party to provide the feasibility study report or business plan or investment value analysis report or evaluation report or lawyer due diligence report or legal opinion, etc. Liar companies usually designate or recommend specific companies and firms to issue relevant documents for the project party. Liar companies often cooperate with unscrupulous companies and unscrupulous lawyers to defraud the project parties that are in urgent need of funds. Usually, unscrupulous companies and unscrupulous lawyers will give back half of the consulting fees, evaluation fees and attorney fees charged to the project party to the fraud company. In short, when the "investment company" designates or recommends a specific institution to issue project documents, the project party should make a wise choice: stop cooperation and report. Seven. Liar companies generally require the project party to bear the cost of testing.
