Types of Promotion Fraud

• Fake Registration: Forging new users through batch registration tools, virtual numbers, duplicate identity information, etc.
• Brushing Fraud: Inviter and invitee colluding to complete fake transactions followed by refunds, or purchasing fake users through black market channels.
• Data Tampering: Using technical means to tamper with promotion chain data (e.g., invitation relationship binding, reward distribution records).
• Malicious Arbitrage: Exploiting rule loopholes to obtain rewards in bulk (e.g., multi-account farming, cross-platform identity reuse).
• Internal Fraud: Employees abusing privileges to tamper with data, improperly distribute rewards, or leak risk control rules.

Cases Where Rewards Do Not Apply

• Multiple registrations or invitation relationship bindings from the same device/IP address within a short period;
• Invited accounts with no real consumption or login behavior (e.g., dormant immediately after registration);
• Concentrated refunds or account cancellations shortly after receiving rewards.

Rule Design to Prevent Vulnerabilities

• Reward Cap Setting: Individual users cannot receive more than ¥50,000 in rewards per month.
• Behavior Verification Threshold: Invitees must complete email verification + first order payment ≥$50 to activate rewards.
• Delayed Reward Distribution: Promotion rewards are distributed in phases.

Technical Risk Control Measures

• Behavior Profile Monitoring: Identifying abnormal behaviors through AI models.
• Relationship Chain Analysis: Verifying the authenticity of social relationships between inviter and invitee (e.g., contact list overlap, historical interaction frequency).
• Data Encryption & Permission Isolation: Encrypted storage of promotion data, operation logs traceability, with only the risk control department having access to the full chain.

Internal Controls

• Employee Behavior Standards: Prohibiting operations/technical department employees from participating in promotion activities they manage, with violators facing dismissal and accountability.
• Third-Party Audits: Regularly hiring external agencies to audit promotion data and fund flows.
