Trust Relationships With Acquaintances And The Pyramid Scheme Network Operating Mechanism

The Pyramid Schemes into China since the 1990s has been spreading rapidly in China, although prohibited more times by China government; the Pyramid Schemes activities are still rampant. Why repeated forbidden after entering the new century, but it has become stronger and more furious momentum?The paper choose the large illegal pyramid scheme "duomeizi" which is cracked by the public security organs of Shandong Province on April 8, 2004 as a case. From the perspective of trust between acquaintances, through the entire process of building a network of the Pyramid Schemes investigation, exploring the relationships between trust in acquaintances and China Pyramid Schemes network operating mechanism.Whole thesis is divided into four parts as follows:The Proposal: This paper first inspects the researches of the predecessors on the pyramid scheme organizational networks, then based in researches and analysis on"duomeizi"case, raising two issues, that is, how to construct its huge network and why so recklessly. On this basis, the text to be verified in the four assumptions, First, the Pyramid Schemes relies on the trust between acquaintances "unsolicited"and lures them into pyramid schemes linear networks. Second, the Pyramid Schemes re-builds a familiar scene, establishing a kind of trust relationship based on familiarity and emotional, Maintaining and strengthening the trust between the original. Third, by "brainwashing", the Pyramid Schemes makes the new members believe that pyramid selling "five third-order systems" certainly enable them to become millionaires quickly. As a result, the new members of the schemes "cause" convinced. Fourth, the Pyramid Schemes uses these steps to launch the network replicate and reproduce, Making the Pyramid Schemes network rapidly expanse in a short period of time.In this paper, a case study on the combination of analysis and interviews. Second-hand information and interviews with the principle of combining single-handedly, concerning "duomeizi" second-hand information, the Pyramid Schemes selected are more influential television Network news media reports and newspapers are published.Part Two: Trust relationships with acquaintances: Chinese and foreign scholars on the first part of the community trust engaged in a pattern of carding ,then summarized the main trust of the Chinese society and the introduction of a model based on the above trust between acquaintancesPart Three: Trust relationships with acquaintances and the Pyramid Schemes network operating mechanism. Discussion on this part of a network of relationships with acquaintances to build trust in the use of pyramid schemes. This part is the core part of this paper. I inspect the Pyramid Schemes how to organize, in light of the pyramid scheme organizational network structure analysis, "duomeizi" construct the network in four steps: dating, scene of recycling, brainwashing, and the development of new launch. The so-called dating, family and friends refer to the use of on-line trust schemes to introduce work as a pretense. Fraudulent pyramid schemes into their networks, in this step, the Pyramid Schemes operating by taking advantage of their relationships with acquaintances trust. recycled scenes, it is that the Pyramid Schemes deliberately create a warm family atmosphere and environment, and the establishment of a trust based on the familiar and emotional above, This trust is acquired through interactions and exchanges between the build up trust acquaintances, Such scenes recycling schemes through a relationship of trust to maintain the original acquaintances. Brainwashing, brainwashing is the core of the Pyramid Schemes which it has built up a network of steps, the so-called brainwashing is through the medium, Answering doubts, communicating three steps to control the spirit of the new members, making new members believe that the Pyramid Schemes enable them to become a Millionaires. In turn, enables them to the "third stage five" have a fanatical belief in the ceremony. the Pyramid Schemes operation mechanism so as to the cause and confident; development of new lower level, new members receive a brainwashing, According to these new steps to the lower level, cycle, pyramid schemes and network has been continuously reproducedPart Four: conclusions and discussion. The Pyramid Schemes makes use of relationship trust between acquaintances make the network reproduce, making the Pyramid Schemes network in a short period of time get a rapid expansion. Therefore, the deep logic in China which the network of the Pyramid Schemes has been able to expand rapidly is mainly due to the unique model of trust between acquaintances that provides a mechanism for the Pyramid Schemes expansion. Finally, I discuss the trust model reshaped through brainwashing. What kind of trust model is it? We need further investigation and research to define.
