Fraud in the online goldsmithing; Empty alarm sounded up!

According to the Mehr correspondent, due to the high inflation that has been a guest of Iranian economy for years, investing in gold has flourished; This is also the pleasant issue of the government, as it has led to the gold market instead of spending on the currency market and the shock entering the market.

With the increase in people's willingness to buy gold as a safe and sustainable asset for investment and, of course, the unpredictable intensification of the economy, we have witnessed the seductive propaganda of gold platforms around the city in recent months; Advertising that encourages people to buy with whatever money they have – even $ 4,000 – gold In addition, when the amount of capital injected into the platform reaches a gram of gold, it is possible to physical delivery of gold to the individual.

Although this method of sale is in the interest of buyers due to the lack of fees and low -cost purchase, if it is not properly monitored by the process of selling the goods by these platforms, the likelihood of crimes similar to what Cyrus, Samen Coin, and so on. Gamed, it's not too far away.

Accordingly, the Central Bank issued a directive trying to warn of the risks of gold virus outbreaks and gold sales apps and declared that online sales of gold without storage at the central bank are prohibited. The E -Commerce Center of the Ministry of Semitic (Tuta Center) emphasized that the sold gold should be existing and stored in the bank.

Of course the ministry Semit On August 5, this year, the first intelligent platform of precious metal transactions to prevent precious metal dealerships in cyberspace and secondary and more monitoring in the market, but it looks like the system seems to be so much. The central bank's taste has not been welcomed that occasionally declares that gold must be deposited in the bank.

Therefore, the minimum requirement for these platforms is that gold must be deposited in the operating bank in order to be a guarantee for their transactions.

Also, online gold sale requires obtaining three permits; As Nader Bazrafshan, the head of the Union of Gold, Jewelry, Silver and Coin, Tehran, said to Mehr, “Those who are going to have economic and online sales in different classrooms after receiving permission from the Union and obtaining them “The Virtual Business Union must also be licensed.”

According to him, “As the union has been reported, the election is backward, so the union is not fully operating, so there is no oversight of the union's platforms, according to members of the union.”

Empty alarm

The remarkable thing about gold sales is the likelihood of crimes such as “emptying” because the online platforms are prone to fraud and fraud because of their virtual nature.

Empty is a type of transaction in which the seller is committed to selling without real assets Empty sales are a type of transaction in which the seller is committed to selling it without real assets, usually with the aim of profit from lowering prices. The term in the gold trading market means the sale of assets that the seller does not currently own.

On the other hand, many of these sellers do not specifically declare when and how the gold purchased is physically delivered, especially in the case of melted gold, which can eventually become an internet fraud.

Accordingly, given the nature of online sales, the likelihood of such a crime is not unexpected.

The possibility of delivering gold with low grade

Another point about online gold sale is that if these businesses fail to monitor, many of these platforms may deliver gold to the customer that has lower than the dealership claimed; In fact, in this crime, the purchased gold is lower than that is claimed.

Therefore, given that it is not possible to physically examine and ensure its authenticity, buyers must only trust the seller's claims, which, as mentioned, is high.

The need to intensify the monitoring of fungal growth of gold sales apps

Accordingly, the doubt about how gold is maintained and its physical backing, the possibility of fraud on some platforms, or the difference in gold prices on these platforms with free market rates, are the most important disadvantages of investing in online platforms.

In this connection, Gold's online sales units have to be physically delivered by law, but the figures obtained from people for gold are much lower than that gold can be physically delivered. Gave up; For example, some platforms say that people can buy even $ 5,000 to $ 4,000! However, the gold rate is ranging from 1 to 2 million USD and these minor figures are not physical delivery at all. But as mentioned, according to the law of virtual business, gold should be physically delivered to the customer.

The head of the Tehran Gold Union stated: We have had several meetings with the prosecutor's office so far. Economic Security Police Faith In numerous interviews, he has emphasized control and supervision of this area. As Commander Rahimi Chief of Economic Security Police Faith It announced that it will be monitored and monitored by the sale of flooded gold online, but we are not aware of how much it is monitored.

According to him, the virtual goldsmiths should be sold to the sale Co -operation Have in banks, Virtual goldsmiths have to sell toward sale Co -operation Have in banks But how far so far Guarantees And security for the people created.

“This is the question of whether the units are Co -operation Have been given or gold in the banks. Therefore, the prosecutor should increase the control and supervision in this section.

Also, Zeinab Gheisari, a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Industries and Mines, says the benefits of gold investment are not hidden, but the security of this investment I see It is also important. It is necessary for the central bank to provide a clear information about its approved apps.

Qaysari says: We warn of the fungal growth of these apps as well as their high levels of advertising in the city and the media that can provide a basis for increased the possibility of vacancies, and call for urgent supervision of the central bank, the ministries of economics and the ministries of economics. Semit And we are the prosecution.

Request of the prosecutor from the people

Given that there is a possibility of crimes such as fraud and vacancies in this way of selling gold, the prosecutor's office has also called on people to act more cautiously, as multiple cases are currently in prosecutions. It is being investigated that indicates the extent of violations.

Commander Hussein Rahimi, the head of the Economic Security Police, said that the police, in cooperation with the judiciary, have entered the issue of online sites and platforms for the sale of water for the sale of water, which aims to prevent possible abuses and defend the rights of citizens. . The Economic Security Police, in cooperation with the Central Bank, the Guild Room and other related organizations, is trying to define the necessary mechanisms for security in this area and apply the necessary oversight to the websites and websites of online gold sales.

According to him, the central bank is planned to design an online monitoring system in cooperation with the Guild Room and, by formulating and communicating, have the necessary supervision of the gold lines on the websites and webs on the gold line.

Sardar Rahimi also emphasized that with those who work on these sites without the necessary permits, as well as those who are emptying and renting gold, or in other ways, to do their obligations to buyers for disturbing the system. Economics will be legalized, saying that with the coordination and follow -up of one ton and 5 kg of gold worth more than 5 tries belonging to the water -based gold sale websites to prevent any criminal action in this area to banks. The agent of the country was transferred.

Don't trust colorful promises!

According to Mehr, although the online gold market offers benefits such as secure storage and ease of exchange, there are also risks such as regulatory restrictions and market fluctuations.

On this basis, given the bitter experiences of the company, such as Cyrus, gold market experts and activists, they insist that buyers avoid depositing on unauthorized platforms, not trusting attractive promises and if they wish to invest in gold, in reliable and reliable methods. Use a law, such as buying valid goldsmiths, or investing in gold funds.
