Chapter 611 Do you need me to expose it to you now?
"I checked the data and found that these are air pre-sales that rely on fake orders to create popularity and are simply unavailable!"
“So everyone must not be attracted by the low price and don’t be deceived!”
As soon as the exposure video came out, the barrage immediately exploded.
"I asked why it was so cheap, but it turned out to be a fake!"
"It's so deceptive. The behavior of cheating people out of money is so abominable!"
"The anchor has good eyesight and will expose the lie immediately!"
"Don't be fooled! These are all lies!"
"Ah, I specifically placed an order for a pair of sneakers. Isn't this refundable?"
"Thank you anchor for revealing the truth, otherwise I would have almost bought it!"
Chu Qian's exposure video immediately went viral on the Internet, and many consumers said that they had been deceived. It turned out that these low-priced products were false advertising.
At this moment, the operator of a shopping platform approached Chu Qian and had a tough attitude.
"You spread rumors in the video and cheated on our platform. We ask you to apologize immediately and take down the video!" the other party said angrily.
"I didn't spread rumors, and I won't apologize." Chu Qian refused directly.
"Then we can only take legal measures!" The other party began to threaten.
"I noticed that the data on many ultra-low-price products on your platform is obviously false. I can provide specific orders as evidence." Chu Qian ignored the other party's threats.
"You..." The other party was choked by Chu Qian's blunt words and was speechless.
"I think you know the truth very well in your heart. If you don't want to trigger a greater public response, you should quickly remove the fake products from the shelves and stop cheating on orders." Chu Qian continued.
"This... Anyway, don't make random conclusions." The other party's attitude finally softened.
Finally, at Chu Qian’s insistence, the platform deleted all false low-price products.
As for whether similar fraudulent behavior will occur again in the future, it can only rely on the voluntary supervision of the majority of netizens.
That night, after Chu Qian truthfully informed fans of the process, the barrage started shouting crazily:
"The anchor is awesome, just make the merchants bow their heads and give in!"
"Too strong! Sister Chu, I admire you!"
"Single-handedly knock down the big platform, you are invincible!"
"Anchor, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!"
“The fraudsters are at peace! Long live the anchor!”
"Sister Chu, I love you! You are my goddess!"
Seeing the fans' crazy reactions, Chu Qian smiled calmly.
These fraud behaviors have always troubled buyers who really have needs.
It is precisely because of the existence of fraud that many buyers have been misled by false propaganda.
After the fraud incident was exposed, Chu Qian decided to continue to investigate other hidden problems in the online shopping platform.
This time, she focused her lens on the gray area of online celebrity live streaming.
Chu Qian found that when some Internet celebrities bring goods, they often use reasons such as low stock to create a sense of scarcity and urgency of the goods, and force the audience to place an order.
However, after checking the data, it was found that the actual inventory of these so-called "small quantities" of goods was extremely large, proving that the scarcity appeal of Internet celebrities was purely fictitious.
There are more internet celebrities who use a variety of methods to swipe orders and create popularity:
Set up multiple accounts to create fake conversations and create the illusion of hot sales.
There are a lot of false compliments and rewards during the live broadcast, and the screen-sweeping effect is used to gain popularity, and software is used to increase the volume.
Chu Qian decided to first observe Xiaohui, a super Internet celebrity with over 100 million fans on the online shopping platform. She often brought some clothing products in the live broadcast room.
Chu Qian discovered that when Xiaohui brought new products, she would always say "there is only a small amount of stock, so hurry up" as soon as they were put on the shelves, creating the illusion of scarcity for the audience.
But after checking the backend data, Chu Qian found that the inventory of these so-called "small amounts" of new products was as high as tens of thousands.
Xiaohui is obviously faking the brake heat.
What's more, when Xiaohui sells products, a large number of fake users often use the screen to reward them, creating a hot-selling phenomenon.
However, through account analysis, these are all troll accounts operated by Xiaohui’s team.
Chu Qian decided to verify these findings first.
She used an anonymous account to place an order in Xiaohui's live broadcast room and found that these "small amounts" of new products were not scarce at all and she could successfully purchase them.
Later, she monitored the entire process of launching a new product of Xiaohui's and caught her team cheating by using a program to generate fake orders.
After possessing conclusive evidence, Chu Qian chose to expose:
“Dear netizens, please be careful, false propaganda on online shopping platforms continues!”
"For example, this internet celebrity often says 'only a small amount left' to stimulate sales, but in fact she has over 10,000 new products in stock!"
"What's more serious is that her team also uses the program to fake orders and boost popularity. It's all a lie!"
"Everyone must not be fooled!"
As soon as the exposure video came out, the comment section immediately exploded.
"I just said that Xiaohui's sales figures were too fake. It turned out they were all fake!"
"It's so abominable that you still use this kind of smear method to defraud money!"
"Anchor, you are so good at exposing the undercover!"
"Sure enough, many Internet celebrities are making money through this kind of false marketing, which is so deceptive!"
"Anchor, have you found the evidence? Breaking the news!"
"Support the anchor and expose this behavior that harms consumers!"
Seeing the strong response from netizens, Chu Qian knew that the time had come.
She decided to take further action to completely expose Xiaohui's true face.
So she contacted Xiaohui and asked the other party to explain these suspicions.
Xiaohui became furious: "You are slandering my reputation! I will sue you!"
"I have conclusive evidence. Your new products are not the so-called scarce inventory at all, and the orders were placed by your team." Chu Qian said bluntly.
"Where's the evidence? You can't produce it!" Xiaohui still wanted to quibble.
"Do you need me to expose the video now?" Chu Qian said calmly.
"You!" Xiaohui still wanted to argue, but seeing Chu Qian's firm attitude, she didn't dare to argue any further.
"I advise you to stop this false propaganda and don't continue to mislead fans." Chu Qian advised.
"Forget it, forget it, everyone is just a live broadcaster, please don't do things too badly." Xiaohui's attitude finally softened.
"Okay, I believe you will correct it. But the majority of netizens have sharp eyes. If you continue to use this opportunistic way to sell products, I am afraid it will have a major impact on your live broadcast career." Chu Qian persuaded in a serious tone.
.
The conversation was interrupted in an unpleasant atmosphere, but after that, the Internet celebrity Xiaohui no longer dared to use false means to cheat orders.
At least I don't dare to mess around in the short term. As for the future...that's not something Chu Qian can worry about.
Chu Qian is just standing on the side of consumers, exposing and stopping the lies she encounters online.
This confrontation also inspired Chu Qian’s fans:
"It was so powerful, it directly knocked out Internet celebrity Xiaohui!"
"She is so embarrassed now, hahaha!"
"The lies will eventually disappear and justice will come!"
Seeing the enthusiastic response from fans, Chu Qian smiled knowingly.
This is just the beginning, you may encounter more network chaos in the future.
