Online shopping has become a fashionable way of consumption today. Many buyers judge the quality of the product based on the sales volume and praise of the store. At the same time, a order-brushing industry chain that creates false transaction volume has also emerged.
Recently, a former employee of a website called "51 Lingla.com" broke the news to Nandu that the website was named "Trial", which is actually a "order brushing" platform, with a net profit of up to two to three million yuan per month.
A reporter from Nandu found that the website attracted merchants on e-commerce platforms to "put orders" through advertising. A large number of "swipeers" active on the platform received orders and "swipe orders" for the above-mentioned merchants. The platform made profits by collecting merchant membership fees and withdrawing commissions. At the same time, the order brushing behavior involves a large number of e-commerce platform accounts and express delivery "empty packages". (Source: Southern Metropolis Daily)
