Many entrepreneurs believe that financing means money is given to others, and they do not encounter fraudsters.

In fact, fraudsters are much more intelligent than people think. They take advantage of the mentality of entrepreneurs who are too eager to get ahead. They first praise the scale and degree of their businesses to get the trust of entrepreneurs, and then praise the financing projects, so that entrepreneurs feel that they have met the "noble". Finally, they cheat the inspection fees and public relations fees in the name of investigation projects, and then disappear after charging.

In 2008, Mr. Yu invested 50 thousand yuan to open a small business. Now his assets have increased to about 200000 yuan. The development momentum of the company is quite good. But because of limited funds, he wants to expand business through financing.

He has found more than a dozen Vc firm and investment intermediary companies, and no result has been found.

When Mr. Yu lost his confidence, he finally met an investment company who expressed interest.

This company claims to be a Vc firm affiliated to a large state-owned enterprise. It has a project Commissioner, assistant, deputy general and director. It is very decent. He inquired in detail about Mr. Yu's project and evaluated it very well. The director of investment department also said, "make friends first, then do projects".

At that time, Mr. Yu was very moved, so the investment company proposed to examine the authenticity of the project, and according to the usual practice, it was time for the project owner to pay in advance.

Shortly after the money was sent out, Mr. Yu found that the phone numbers of the investment company and the chief investment officer's mobile phone numbers were all empty.

Commented: many entrepreneurs believe that financing means money is given to others, and they do not encounter fraudsters.

In fact, fraudsters are much more intelligent than people think. They take advantage of the mentality of entrepreneurs who are too eager to get ahead. They first praise the scale and degree of their businesses to get the trust of entrepreneurs, and then praise the financing projects, so that entrepreneurs feel that they have met the "noble". Finally, they cheat the inspection fees and public relations fees in the name of investigation projects, and then disappear after charging.

Therefore, for entrepreneurs, in addition to conducting a thorough investigation of the background of investment companies, we need to remain vigilant, especially with regard to various payment requirements, and ask why, and when necessary, we can use legal contracts to protect our interests.
