Illegal businessmen promote satellite TV, claiming that they can watch adult TV in Europe and America.
A pot cover with a diameter of about 40 cm, a VCD-like device and a small compass claim to be able to install satellite TV, and can receive more than 100 channels including news and entertainment programs from Europe, America, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and 24-hour adult stations, with a value of 3,600 yuan. Recently, illegal businessmen have been promoting the "benefits" of installing satellite TV to people through SMS and other channels.
On September 1st, a reporter from Times and a reporter from Guangdong TV Station "Today’s Concern" made a joint unannounced visit and contacted the seller at zero distance. It was found that this was simply a scam set by criminals. The working principle of those so-called instruments that could receive European and American TV stations was suspected to be the operation mode of VCD or digital TV stored and then played. The industry and commerce, radio and television departments have indicated that they will seriously investigate and deal with it.
Report: Someone sent a text message to promote adult TV.
On August 31, Mr. Zhao, a military hospital of the People’s Liberation Army stationed in Guangzhou, received a short message with these words: install satellite TV, watch news, movies, sports and entertainment from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the Premier League of Hong Kong and Taiwan and the 24-hour adult channel with Chinese subtitles, and pay when you are satisfied; The telephone number is 13662333XXX, Mr. Cheng. Mr. Zhao said that after receiving the text message, he immediately called the other party, and the other party enthusiastically promoted the benefits of installing satellite TV to him, focusing on ensuring that he could watch programs from European and American TV stations and adult TV to ensure customer satisfaction.
According to Zhao, in addition to this message, his friends also received the same message, all from this vendor. In order to explore whether there is any tricky and illegal behavior. On the morning of September 1, Mr. Zhao made an appointment with a reporter and decided to find out.
Unannounced visit: the other party said that it can receive more than 100 overseas stations.
After a series of arrangements, the reporter called according to the contact mobile phone on the short message. A man who claimed to be surnamed Cheng answered the phone. After confirming that the reporter needed to install satellite TV, Mr. Cheng said that he would send someone to install it for the reporter. In order to witness the installation and reception process of "satellite TV" safely and smoothly, the Times reporter first opened an hourly room in a hotel on Xingang Road, and then made a joint unannounced visit with the reporter of "Today’s Concern" of Guangdong TV Station to obtain the evidence.
At 4 o’clock on the afternoon of September 1, after two hours of waiting and non-stop telephone contact, a white Buick car came to the hotel booked by the reporter in advance. There was no license plate hanging in front of the car. The reporter walked into the front of the car and saw that although there was a license plate, the license plate was ambiguous. There were five men on the bus, three of whom got off the bus. One man brought a black package from the back compartment, and the other man took something like a pot cover, which was small and about 40 cm in diameter. Subsequently, under the leadership of the reporter, the three men came to the hourly room booked by the reporter.
See adult programs immediately after installation.
The reporter needs to install satellite TV to receive European and American TV stations and adult stations on the grounds of operating hotels to meet customers’ needs, but he requires to see the product display and installation procedures first. "Our receiving instrument is very advanced. It is different from the original big pot cover. It can receive more than 100 channels from overseas TV stations. It can not only watch news, movies, sports and entertainment programs from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Europe, America and Taiwan, but also the most important adult programs with very exciting pictures. It is very good-looking, and you are satisfied!"
The man wearing a light red T-shirt is a little fat. While introducing the benefits of the "satellite TV receiver" to reporters, he took out tools such as wires and scissors from the black bag. The most surprising thing is that a thin man took out his compass, scanned the room and asked, "Which direction is the southeast? The lid needs to be placed on the southeast window to receive the signal! "
The "white plaid T-shirt" man instructed the "light red T-shirt" man to put the lid on the window, took out a box of VCD-like equipment and put it on the TV. Then, the three men began to tune the TV. Soon, the TV screen that used to broadcast domestic TV pictures was immediately replaced by an unsightly sex scene for men and women. "Satisfied! With this satellite TV receiver installed, you can receive 100 overseas stations. "
Doubt: How can live broadcast be paused, fast-forward and fast-backward?
"The programs and pictures played through our satellite receiver can be paused or fast-forward and fast-backward!" The "white plaid T-shirt" man looks a little proud. "You can also fast forward and fast backward?" The reporter expressed surprise, "What’s the difference between this and VCD?" "This is the biggest advantage of our receiver, but it is not a VCD."
At the request of the reporter, the "white plaid T-shirt" demonstrated the advantages of this satellite receiver to the reporter. He first instructed the "light red T-shirt" man to put the lid on the window again, and then instructed another man who came with him to set the compass. The "white plaid T-shirt" man then inserted two wires with plugs into the box placed on the TV. After turning on the switch, the TV screen showed the programs of AEC TV stations abroad. After playing for two or three minutes, the "white plaid T-shirt" man suddenly pressed the button with the remote control, and the picture being played was really paused, and then he pressed it again.
"Amazing!" After nearly an hour of installation and demonstration, two other big men who were originally sitting in Buick came into the room and said loudly. "Besides watching this TV channel, you can also watch Taiwan Province’s Dongsen TV program and American and Australian programs." The "white plaid T-shirt" man said and demonstrated.
Dialogue is expensive, claiming to be sold nationwide.
When several men demonstrated and promoted products, the reporter started a dialogue with them and learned that they were mainly engaged in product distribution and installation. Mr. Cheng on the short message is a contact person, not a real boss. "White Plaid T-shirt" man said that he is from Jiangsu, his boss is in Shanghai, and there are more than 30 people engaged in product sales in Guangzhou. There are also product sales outlets in other cities in China, with prices ranging from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, and from 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, depending on what kind of products you need.
Reporter: How much does it cost to sell this product you brought today?
T-shirt male (white plaid T-shirt male): 3600 yuan. This is a medium-sized product. You can buy 20,000 to 30,000 yuan if you need it.
Reporter: Is there anything cheap?
T-shirt man: We have 600 yuan’s, which is the lowest.
Reporter: Are the products reliable?
T-shirt man: Of course. The boss is from Shanghai, and the products are sold all over the country. The business is very good. I installed this equipment for a factory in Baiyun District the day before yesterday, worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. This factory bought several sets.
Reporter: Is there any guarantee for buying your product?
"T-shirt" male; Don’t worry! Warranty for three years, with invoice and receipt.
Reporter: Can you look at the approval and legal procedures of the radio and television department?
T-shirt man (silent): ….
Light red T-shirt "M: We can guarantee that the police and other departments can’t find it. This pot cover is so small that it is difficult to find it.
Reporter: if it is checked, isn’t it bought for nothing?
Light red T-shirt "Man: No, we’ll get along well and make sure you’re not investigated. Besides, this pot cover is so small that it is difficult to check it, and it is difficult to find it in the room.
