At the beginning of 2026, the 315 Gala received many clues from consumers: a stock investment business called “Stock Recommendations for Tickets, 50/50 Profit Sharing” has attracted a lot of investor attention. Industry insiders from legitimate investment institutions warned reporters that many of these so-called “stock recommendation profit-sharing” advisory services online are scams carried out by criminals impersonating legitimate financial investment firms. If the recommended stocks profit, the scammers take a cut; if the stocks fall, they disappear, and the phrase “covering losses” is used to lure consumers into falling for the trap.

The reporter contacted several organizations offering “stock recommendation profit-sharing” services online. One, claiming to be TianShun Investment, caught the reporter’s attention. Following the recommendation of their customer service, the reporter bought 2,000 shares of a certain stock at 18.82 yuan. However, over the next half month, the stock kept falling, and the reporter had to sell at an 8% loss. The reporter questioned the customer service via video call. During the brief video, the reporter noticed on the wall behind the customer service representative the prominent words “XinBenKe Information Consulting Co., Ltd.” The reporter found that this company is located in Zunyi, has no financial licensing qualifications, and recruits telemarketers externally. Subsequently, the reporter traveled to Zunyi and successfully applied for a telemarketing position at the company.

The company’s business manager, Mr. He, explained the specifics of the work: following a prepared script, making calls daily to find and screen investors interested in buying designated stocks with funds. “Sister, don’t worry, we prioritize risk control first, then making money. The stocks we recommend are researched jointly with multiple institutions, not just any stock we pick randomly.” His words were firm, but Mr. He showed no concern for clients’ losses. When asked what to do if clients lose money, he simply replied, “Let it be.” Where do the so-called institutional research reports recommended daily by XinBenKe come from? A customer service representative revealed the truth: these reports are just a pretense to deceive clients; the stocks recommended are actually chosen by the company’s boss. XinBenKe relies on stocks arbitrarily selected by the boss, using clients’ own capital to trade, enticing clients to buy, and operating on a profit-sharing model. Among these randomly chosen stocks, some will rise and profit, so the company shares the gains; when stocks fall, they disappear, forming a so-called “stock recommendation business” that guarantees no losses.
