微信宣布严打网络传销与高额返现返利欺诈 - 微信,传销,欺诈 - IT资讯

8月1日消息，微信今日宣布，称发现有用户在利用微信关系链，通过微信公众帐号、微信支付实施网络传销、高额返现返利欺诈等违法行为。微信团队表示，对此类违法行为绝不容忍，坚决打击。

腾讯表示，网络传销，是指借助互联网传播发展的传销行为，其本质上依然是传销。此前多以网页为载体，近期频频出现在一些网络社交平台上。

其特征一般包括有偿加入、组成层级、发展下线、按人提成等。今年5月，徐州警方在腾讯大力配合下，侦破“星火草原”特大网络传销案件，涉案资金2亿余元，涉及人数150多万。而在去年10月，腾讯配合大连警方破获了一起利用微信进行的网络传销案，涉案金额高达170多万元。

高额返利模式多数表现为消费佣金返现返利、多级多层返现返利等，具备金字塔欺诈、庞氏骗局等特征。其本质属欺诈行为，即以高额返现返利吸引用户参与，以新加入的用户资金来支付此前用户的返现返利，形成层压式的资金链条。

今年7月，腾讯配合深圳警方侦破一起以高额返利之名行诈骗之实的案件。本案中，犯罪团伙搭建网络商城，并在微信平台上注册开通“微富云”公众号，以返利105%和多层返利为诱饵，在短短20余天内便骗取大量用户近3000万元的“购物款”。此后，该犯罪团伙仅支付了部分早期参与者的部分“返利”便卷款而逃。目前，该犯罪团伙主要成员已被警方抓获。

对于高额返利欺诈行为，一经发现，微信公众平台将对相关公众帐号做永久封号处理，并有权拒绝再向该运营主体提供服务。

腾讯建议用户遇到此类涉嫌违法的欺诈行为时，应当第一时间进行举报，并通过法律途径维护权益。
