Recently, a number of women passing by the gate of Landmark Plaza on Nanjing East Road in Shanghai were taken for granted by the people at the gate of the shopping mall and lured to Sanzhao Company 165438 on the 0 th floor of Landmark Plaza for "interview". As a result, not only did the star dream fail, but it also fell into the charging trap.
Find a shopping girl as a model.
On the afternoon of May 16, Wei Meng (pseudonym), a woman in her early twenties, became anxious when she saw two young girls being accosted and taken to the shopping mall.
"Someone to routine again. In the past few months, I don't know how many people will be cheated after paying? " She said angrily.
Wei Meng works in a company in Pudong. On the afternoon of March 4th this year, she went shopping alone on Nanjing East Road, and didn't go far outside the subway. At this time, a man on the roadside came up and said, "Beauty, I think your image and temperament are very good, which is in line with our company's advertising positioning." Can you please be our part-time model? "
"Sorry, I don't want to do it." Wei Meng refused at first.
The man continued: "We are from the advertising department of Landmark Plaza, and the company is on it. Leave if you don't agree I dare not mess around on Nanjing East Road. "
Wei Meng hesitated, and the man asked her, "How much money can you earn a month? You worked as a part-time model and got paid. Two thousand dollars a month is not a problem. It's easy and won't delay your official work. What a great opportunity. " Unable to resist the man's persuasion, Wei Meng was a little moved, so he followed him to Landmark Plaza 1 1 Building 1 1 Room.
A woman at the front desk handed Wei Meng a form to fill out her resume, and then went to the manager's office for an interview. After the interview manager asked her about the general situation, she began to introduce the work content and remuneration of part-time models. "Our company is mainly engaged in the training and promotion of new models, and undertakes the advertising shooting of merchants, mainly clothing manufacturers. The lowest remuneration is four or five hundred, and there are also eight or nine hundred. The photo-taking time is half an hour to two hours, both on weekends or after work. At least four activities a month, one or two thousand is very easy. "
The interview manager quickly pointed out that according to the industry rules, models need to provide a set of professional photos for selection and matching, that is, model cards. After signing the contract, the company has a professional cooperative camera base to shoot, and the company will design and package its image, and provide consultation and agency in art planning and marketing. With the model card, you can receive advertising activities, and you can recover the cost by playing a few advertisements.
"How much is it?"
The interview manager told Wei Meng: "2980 yuan, which is the lowest cost." If it is not enough, you can waive 1000 yuan first and deduct it from the advertising fee later. "
Wei Meng said that the interview manager even took out her mobile phone and asked her to use the mobile loan APP to lend money to the company on the spot. Wei Meng disagreed, and finally paid the company 2980 yuan with Alipay, and signed a cooperation agreement with this "Shanghai Sanzhao Advertising Co., Ltd.".
Less notice, higher promotion cost.
On March 5th, Wei Meng was arranged by Sanzhao Company to shoot a model card in the photo studio of Zhongtai Apartment on Xinzha Road. "The photo studio is in a residential building, dark and poorly equipped, which is quite different from what Sanzhao Company claims." 300 yuan was charged extra for makeup and false eyelashes before shooting, and the studio staff said that this was not included in the cost of the model card.
Wei Meng recalled that during the filming in the studio that day, she found that nearly ten part-time models were arranged by Sanzhao Company and took photos here just like her. However, when they wanted to chat and add WeChat to each other, they were immediately stopped by the staff of the photo studio and separated. In other studios, 200 yuan can't use this kind of photo.
After shooting the sample card, Wei Meng waited for the notice from Sanzhao Company. After a week or two, Sanzhao Company has been evading the arrangement. Unable to withstand repeated questioning, Song, the person in charge of Sanzhao Company, arranged a "clothing advertisement" activity at Aiying Media Film and Television Base in Dingxi Road, Changning District.
"What film and television base, just a basement. I took a 20-minute advertisement for women's shoes, and the reward was 120 yuan. " Wei Meng is in distress situation. Song told her that this was a small advertisement and there would be a big one in the future. Wei Meng questioned that this was not the advertisement of the manufacturer at all, but the cover of the advertisement was deliberately designed by the company for fear of being suspected of being a part-time model. "Even if it is true, the reward is seriously reduced. Only twice a month, one hundred dollars at a time. When can the cost of the model card be recovered? "
What Wei never dreamed of was that the person in charge of Sanzhao Company told her that after filming the model card, she needed publicity and promotion to get better and higher advertising remuneration, and the promotion fee was 6,000 yuan. If you don't pay, Wei Meng will violate the agreement, the company will no longer provide services, and the previous fees can't be refunded.
Wei Meng realized that he had been cheated and fell into the trap of Santrillion Company.
There are not a few people who have the same experience as her. The Morning Post reporter contacted more than a dozen complainants who were charged by Sanzhao Company with a model card. The cost ranges from 2980 yuan to 1 ten thousand yuan. Miss Gu in Putuo District of Shanghai said that she was charged 9980 yuan, including 2980 yuan for the model card and 7000 yuan for the promotion. Xiaolin, who is studying in Songjiang University Town, said that she was charged 3,980 yuan.
Miss Gu said: "Three strokes companies charge people when they meet, and there are few students. Seeing that you are carrying a brand-name bag, they will increase the cost, claiming to find you a more professional photographer, a more advanced promotion method and a high-paying advertising campaign. However, after the money is paid, the remuneration will shrink, the number of activities will be delayed, and the income will never catch up with the investment. It's like a bottomless pit. "
Anyone can be a model.
On the afternoon of May 18, the reporter went directly to the office of Sanzhao Company in Room 1 1 as a part-time model. There is no company logo hanging outside. The room of about 50 square meters is divided into a living room and four compartments. Dozens of model photos are hung on the wall, and several young girls are sitting on the sofa in the living room.
After filling out the resume, the reporter was taken to a cubicle, and in front of the desk, sat a woman who claimed to be Anji. "I can also be a model? What can a person shoot? " The reporter asked.
"Yes, all ages, all heights, all shapes, regardless of height, fat and thin, can be models. What position is this? You have to know that we are a big company with various advertisements, and many international brands are looking for us. " Angie told the reporter that after introducing the remuneration of specific activities, she asked the reporter to pay the cost of the model card, but the reporter hesitated. "If it is not enough, pay less 1000 yuan first. 3,000 yuan, and I will be back after two or three activities. No vision ... "The reporter left on the grounds of reconsideration.
Sanzhao refused to interview, and the related photo studio no longer cooperated with him.
The reporter inquired about the enterprise's industrial and commercial information and learned that this company was registered as "Huangpu Branch of Shanghai Sanzhao Advertising Co., Ltd." and was established on 20 17 1.9. The business scope is advertising design, production, agency, release, corporate image planning, cultural and artistic exchange planning, animation design, conference service, etiquette service, photography service, sales of handicrafts, clothing, daily necessities and electronic products. The legal person and person in charge is Song. Song used to be a legal person of Shanghai Cesheng Advertising Co., Ltd., and was listed in the business exception list by Fengxian District Market Supervision Bureau on February 7, 2065438+06 for concealing the real situation and practicing fraud.
On may 19, the reporter of morning post came to sanzhao company again to show his identity. After the interview, the staff of the company said that the legal person Song was away on business and was currently in charge of the manager. After the interview, Chen Jie came out and said that he would not accept the interview, and repeatedly asked the reporter to go out, so the reporter had to leave.
On the same day, the reporter went to the photo studio where Wei Meng and others took photos and asked about the cooperation between the photo studio and Sanzhao Company. The person in charge of a photo studio in Room 60 1 Zhongtai Building on Xinzha Road said that it had stopped cooperating with Sanzhao Company, and there was nothing else to say. The person in charge of Room 1306, Rongxin Building, Sichuan North Road also gave the same answer.
[speaking]
Landmark Plaza: No connection with Sanzhao Company.
Wei Meng said, at that time, I believed that one of the reasons for chatting on the roadside was that the accost claimed to be the staff of the advertising department of Landmark Plaza. The Morning Post reporter contacted the relevant management personnel of Landmark Plaza. She said that the commercial building of Landmark Plaza has an advertising department, but it is not on the 1 1 floor, and it will not go directly to the roadside to take photos. The commercial building has nothing to do with sanzhao company. "The room in the commercial building belongs to an owner. The owner is responsible for the introduction, operation and management of the business, which is beyond our control, so it is inevitable that there will be mixed fish and dragons. If there is any dispute, seek external solution, contact 123 15 or call the police. " She said.
Wang Ying, a senior agent of a etiquette company in Shanghai, said that one day in April, she found that more than a dozen people concentrated on adding her WeChat friends. She was puzzled by the concentration of so many people making friends, so she added them and dragged them into the same group. Group friends told her that it was introduced by Song of Sanzhao Company, saying that there was an advertising campaign.
"But I don't know Song at all, and I haven't dealt with Sanzhao Company." Wang Ying speculated that she had published activity information in her circle of friends and Weibo, but it was used. She bluntly said that the model card is a material used to show the personal image and data of the model. There is no strict requirement, the model company shoots for free and the model recommends it internally. Regular model agencies earn commissions in the process of receiving model orders, and will not charge any fees to models before.
Wei Meng and other three parties called the police in Huangpu District for help. The police said that the company's three certificates are complete, and there is no suspicion of fraud in the contract, so it is impossible to file a case. After receiving complaints from Wei Meng and others, the staff of Huangpu District Market Supervision Bureau also went to Sanzhao Company for investigation and verification, but failed to find that the company was fraudulent, and the staff intervened in mediation.
Lawyer: False promises are suspected of fraud.
Li Feng, a lawyer of Shanghai Liwei Law Firm, said that the parties signed the contract to pay cash because Sanzhao Company promised to provide generous remuneration and shoot the model room. But the company has no actual advertising business or the expected return is not worth investing. This is a false promise and is suspected of fraud. The parties signed the contract under the condition of being cheated, and the contract is invalid.
Li Feng said that in the cooperation agreement signed by the two parties, there is no specific quantitative index for the post-service of Sanmao Company. How many activities are introduced in a month? How much is the income each time? What about the extra charge later? They are not written, but the company's verbal commitment, which makes it more difficult to investigate its legal responsibility. There is also the suspicion of "fishing contract", that is, let you taste the sweetness first, lead you to the bait, and then let you suffer greatly. In economic activities, it is a form of contract fraud to fulfill a small contract first and then defraud a large amount of property, which belongs to "fishing contract" fraud. It is suggested that the parties collectively defend their rights, collect audio, video and electronic information evidence, and bring a lawsuit to the court.
