Beware of joint scams by “market makers” and “influencers” targeting investors.

Recently, media reports have revealed that certain stocks are being manipulated by “big V” influencers collaborating with “market manipulators” to offload shares through deceptive stock recommendations. After investors fall for these scams and take the bait, stock prices plummet dramatically, leaving them with heavy losses. Investors need to be highly vigilant. The “market manipulators” join forces with so-called “big V” influencers, “stock gurus,” “investment advisors,” and “experts,” taking advantage of individual investors’ penchant for insider information and their desire to make easy money by following market leaders. They attract attention by inviting people to add them as friends, then create stock-trading chat groups and live streaming platforms for stock recommendations. There, they analyze the overall market and comment on individual stocks. Once they’ve gained investors’ trust, they lure them into buying—often at a specific price and in full positions—using claims such as “an insider stock is about to make a big move,” “certain hot-money funds have already entered the market,” or “tens of thousands of investors are pooling resources to buy together and make profits.” In reality, these are just pretexts designed to get investors to follow suit and provide a convenient exit route for the manipulators. By the time investors realize they’ve been duped and the stock price plunges, the chat groups and live-streaming platforms used for stock recommendations have already been shut down and cleared out, and the “market manipulators” and “big V” influencers have vanished without a trace.

Hereby, we solemnly remind all investors: there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Those so-called “market manipulators” and “influential online personalities” who enthusiastically recommend stocks invariably have their own ulterior motives. Please be highly vigilant and maintain a rational investment mindset to avoid being deceived. The China Securities Regulatory Commission will continue to adopt a firm and stringent stance against illegal activities such as market manipulation and unauthorized stock recommendations. If any suspected criminal behavior is detected, it will be promptly referred to public security authorities for investigation and prosecution, and the perpetrators will be held criminally liable according to law.
