Group Buying Network Sells Tens Of Thousands Of Fake Nike Shoes &Nbsp; Two Hundred Consumer Group Appeals

Li Xiang, a senior student at Shandong University of Technology, often comes from the Internet.

"

Three days after the order, Li Xiang received the shoes.

However, when he excitedly opened the shoe box, he was disappointed.

"Open the box, heavy rubber smell is coming, the work is very rough, even the black stripes on the side of shoes are not painted."

Li Xiang concluded that these "Nike shoes" were fake.

On the morning of May 5th, the reporter entered the group buying website provided by Li Xiang. The website showed that the group purchase was over, and a total of 8500 people bought it, and the product was sold out.

"More than 8000 people, many people like me bought several pairs, conservative estimate, AI Bang network has sold tens of thousands of pairs."

Li Xiang said.

On the evening of 6 th, the reporter took the shoes bought by Li Xiang group and went to check the Nike counter in Ji'nan shopping mall, Ginza.

"The trademark of genuine Nike shoes is printed on hot stamping and is not easy to fall off."

The director of the shop, Miss Cao, pointed to the trademark that was about to fall off the insole. The material, work and quality of the insole were very different.

Two hundred consumer group discussion

Due to the lack of contact with AI Bang network customer service, Li Xiang accidentally found a QQ group named "group buying complaints group" on the Internet.

Here, he found a lot of consumers like him, who were cheated by Nike shoes.

Reporters noted that as of 9 am at 10 o'clock in the morning, Li Xiang said the group buying complaints group has reached 267 members.

The QQ group leader Xiao Wang told reporters that he immediately called the AI Gang customer service phone after receiving the shoes, but it didn't get through until the second day.

But in desperation, he called the seller of the product, "America's emergency house".

"At the very beginning, the seller insisted that the shoes were absolutely genuine.

Later, it was renamed that shoes were flowing out of the authentic factory.

Xiao Wang said that the seller avoided the answer to the true and false shoes and a false three commitment.

In just four or five days, the QQ group created by Xiao Wang developed to more than 200 people.

"I only hope that it can arouse the attention of the relevant departments, and I would like to let the love network and sellers know that consumers can not play with them."

Xiao Wang said.

The web page has been tampered with and promises are gone.

On the 5 day, the reporter called on the customer service of the AI Bang network in Beijing. The customer service was avoided by the reasons for the fakes and the promise of a three penalty.

Subsequently, the reporter contacted the seller of "American product urgent house" in Taobao's customer service, the other side admits that the shoes are all imitation, not authentic.

The answer contrasts sharply with its previous pledge to "guarantee the authenticity of the product, the penalty of three".

At the same time, consumers in the "group buying complaints group" noticed that the group buying ads on the "US product rush house" have also changed: the word "guarantee the authenticity of the goods and fake a penalty three" has disappeared, and consumers have no comment on the group buying assessment messages of the AI Gang's "American product rush house".

On the afternoon of 7, when the reporter opened the old group shopping record, it was found that the "beautiful home" Nike shoes records also disappeared.

It is understood that on the afternoon of 5, AI Gang customer service joined the "group buying complaints group" and issued a specific refund information: in view of some users feedback on the quality of Nike shoes, in order to safeguard everyone's legitimate rights and interests, AI Bang network has launched a refund mechanism, 7 days unconditional refund.

However, for the reasons for the refund, AI Gang attributed itself to "insufficient storage of goods", and the "false one penalty three" commitment was not mentioned before.

A pair of Nike shoes with a price of 528 yuan is only 128 yuan for group purchase.

During the May 1st period, a regular group buying website, with the promise of "ensuring a genuine product and a penalty of three", bought tens of thousands of Nike shoes and was sold out.

However, when consumers receive the goods, they find that the "Nike" is not authentic.

Lawyers say:

Group buying network should bear responsibility

According to the group buying records of AI Bang network, the number of counterfeit Nike shoes selected to purchase them has reached 8500 people. The purchase price is only 128 yuan per person, and the sales amount exceeds 1088000 yuan.

"If the amount of fraud exceeds 2000 yuan, it can be put on file in the public security department."

Wang Wei, a lawyer of Shandong thousand Shun law firm, told reporters that for similar group buying cases, the producers and sellers of the products are responsible, and the group buying website should be held responsible for its role as a seller.

Wang Wei lawyers advised consumers that they could report to the courts of the producers and sellers through the industrial and commercial department.

Departments say:

Group buying network virtual supervision department is difficult to "start"

Group buying medical devices sent two bottles of tap water. After buying the Tianzi coupon, the shop owner said that the activity was cancelled; the group bought photo coupons, the shop members went to empty buildings, and thousands of people were cheated.

Reporters search the 96706 line cable library found that only this year this group received cheated cases over 50.

It is understood that according to the relevant laws and regulations, the current regulatory group buying industry sector is mainly the industrial and commercial sector and the communications sector.

"The business sector is mainly responsible for market sales and fair trade, and the communications department is responsible for the approval of operational Internet sites."

An insider, who did not want to be named, told reporters that because of the lack of understanding of regulatory targets, the business sector was also hard to manage.

The industry also said that due to the virtual and broad nature of the network, the communications sector is not very realistic.

As an organization directly under the Ministry of Commerce, in October 29, 2010, the China International Electronic Commerce Center launched the group purchase website integrity qualification certification and rating standard for the group buying industry. This is also the first supervision measure for the group buying new e-business mode in China.

Reporters through the China business credit platform authentication website, search "love help net", the results showed no authentication.

"Such certification and rating measures are not mandatory and are voluntary in the market."

9, deputy director general of China business credit platform and deputy director of the China international e-commerce center group buying website Certification Center, Shi Hongyu said in an interview.

"Regular group buying websites will generally join the certification system voluntarily."

According to Shi Hongyu, at present, there are 53 group buying websites in China, and most of which are not certified by individuals or small companies.

However, Shi Hongyu also said that as the third party supervision, China International Electronic Commerce Center has no substantive administrative penalty power, and can only standardize the group buying market behavior through honesty qualification authentication and rating.
