according to the investigation of China Youth Daily · Zhongqing online reporter, the "two barrels of oil" and "Li Gui" in Zhejiang market are not as simple as a rumor refuting announcement. A company in Guangdong also organized an attack on "China oil card" on social media
"in the past, when Shanzhai gas cards were overturned in other areas, we felt that they were far away. This time, the" Zhongyou card "went straight to Yongtaiwen area in Zhejiang Province, making people feel more nervous than ever before." Jiang Zhiyong, director of the gas station management department of PetroChina Zhejiang sales company, said with the publicity materials distributed at the news conference of the Wenzhou Branch of "China Petroleum card"
in the business hall of Sinopec Cixi gas station, a man told a woman that after running Sinopec gas card, he could download an app on his mobile phone, register and bind the gas card, and get 4000 yuan discount by recharging 15000 yuan through the app. The staff of the business hall reminded the lady not to believe in such preferential activities
claims that it is a large-scale comprehensive wealth platform based on Internet plus energy and employment, and its members are both consumers and market promoters, thus achieving mass employment and entrepreneurship. Ordinary consumers who download the "Zhongyou card" app on their mobile phones must input their mobile phone number, verification code, and the name and mobile phone number of the previous introcer. They can only register and log in after strict audit
"'petrochina card 'does not issue cards at all, nor is it based on Sinopec's platform and system operation. Instead, it parasitizes its business model on Sinopec and other regular gas cards, and in addition, it pulls a group of people and develops a system to expand everywhere." Relevant personnel of Sinopec Zhejiang oil company's Publicity Office said that its essence is to let Sinopec and PetroChina "carry the black pot"
the relevant business departments of Sinopec and PetroChina Zhejiang company said that it was "impossible" for the "CNPC card" to promise the high return of recharging its members. According to the sales revenue and cost data of gasoline and diesel provided by the company, taking the air recharge of 15000 yuan for 4000 yuan package as an example, 15000 yuan can add more than 2400 liters of gasoline
"two barrels of oil" business department related staff pointed out that Shanzhai gas cards often take the money from home to make up for the price difference, drum style continues to develop new members. What's more, when members reach a certain scale and amount of capital, they can make up the capital gap with the return of investment in other fields, in which the potential legal risk and capital risk are very large
in recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet and social media, all kinds of fake gas cards come out in a variety of ways, and become "little strong" repeatedly. In 2012, the company launched a PC version of its official website, and some Internet experts imitated the webpage and linked to "phishing" websites to defraud customers of their top up money
WeChat official account, some people registered "petro technology" and "micro refueling" for their lives. They announced that they would get "Sinopec" thanks to the message that they could get the 200 yuan Sinopec fuel card free. Within a short time, the news was wildly forwarded in the circle of friends, and Sinopec Ningbo Branch's gas card customer service hotline constantly received calls from customers to inquire about and verify the problems such as the return of pre charging fees to cash
then, a "China Petroleum Reserve" card suddenly appeared in Zhejiang, claiming that as long as customers fill up gas at Sinopec and PetroChina gas stations, issue invoices, take photos and upload them to the app platform, they will rebate according to the preferential amount“ The "zhongchu oil" card didn't run for long before it went out of business. Now Zhejiang has another "Zhongyou card"
"the most important thing is that the cost of breaking the law is low and it is difficult to crack down on."“ "Two barrels of oil" related staff said that even if Sinopec and PetroChina outlets monitored the market for fake gas cards, they would at most issue a public statement, or even be unable to report the case to the police. Because "the one who is injured will report", Sinopec and PetroChina are not direct victims and cannot report to the police
recently, Sinopec and PetroChina informed Taizhou market supervision and Administration Bureau of the suspected false publicity and other relevant information about the opening of "PetroChina card" in Taizhou. After on-site investigation and evidence collection, the law enforcement officers of the Bureau ordered them to rectify the behaviors beyond the scope of business license. However, a person concerned told China Youth Daily · Zhongqing online that "the business of" Zhongyou card "in developing members' air recharge has not stopped because of this."
