Is the photography shop closed?

In recent years, "group buying" is one of the hottest keywords on the Internet. Many citizens are addicted to group buying, and the complaints about "group buying" are also constant. Recently, a post titled "Cloud Photography Deceives Consumers, Money Disappeared After Group Buying" became popular on the Internet, followed by numerous denunciations. It turns out that since this year, Chengdu Shang Yun Photography has cooperated with Taobao Group, Didi Group, Octopus Group and other websites to "buy groups", involving nearly 2,000 people and involving about 400,000 yuan. However, the money was available, but the photography on the cloud disappeared ... At present, the Economic Investigation Brigade of Jinjiang Public Security Bureau is investigating the case.

The netizen is angry:

Why did the business suddenly disappear after the group purchase?

It is understood that netizens who participated in the group purchase of cloud photography formed a QQ group named "Victims". There are currently 77 members. The victim, Zhang Qian, told the reporter about the scam. Zhang Qian, 27, works as a secretary. In March this year, she took part in a group-buying activity of photography on the cloud in Chengdu, and the price was 199 yuan.

On May 14, Zhang Qian and her husband took the puppy to take photos as scheduled. Zhang Qian recalled that the business of photography on the cloud was very hot at that time, and people waiting to take pictures lined up. The excellent service attitude of the staff also left a good impression on Zhang Qian. Three days later, the photo studio also specially informed Zhang Qian to choose photos. Zhang Qian said that she didn't know that things would change unexpectedly. On June 10, Zhang Qian received a call from Octopus Group. The staff is sorry to say that after the relocation of cloud photography, they can no longer contact. Considering that the other party may abscond with the money, Octopus decided to pay in advance 199 yuan.

After receiving the call, Zhang Qian immediately came to Shang Yun Photography's store in Dongda Commercial Plaza, East Street. At this time, the door of the photography shop was closed, and a "notice of relocation" was posted in front of it.

The experience of other netizens in the group is similar to that of Zhang Qian. Netizens have said that they cannot accept a separate refund. In addition, they must also deliver photos and compensate for the corresponding losses.

Octopus Group:

Strengthen the audit after returning 70,000 yuan.

No photography was found on the cloud, and netizens pointed their finger at the major group buying websites. Subsequently, Yan Chuanhuan, the project leader of Octopus Group, told the reporter about the ins and outs of the cooperation between the two parties.

Last year, 65438+February 3rd1,the photographer on the cloud found the website and signed a group purchase contract with a unit price of 199 yuan. After 4 days of group purchase, the final transaction volume was 332 orders. A week later, Octopus Group transferred the first group purchase payment (50% of the total price, totaling 307 10 yuan) to the cloud photography account. Before the agreed shooting deadline (20 1 1 May 3 1), Octopus Group transferred the remaining group purchase money (50% of the total price, totaling 307 10 yuan) to the cloud for shooting. However, since June 8, the customer service department of Octopus Group has received complaints from netizens, saying that photography on the cloud has been moved and cannot be filmed, and a refund is needed. The website staff contacted Shang Yun Photography many times, but they couldn't get in touch.

Faced with the anger of netizens, Yan Chuanhuan was helpless. "The website has taken the initiative to return compensation to netizens and give gifts." Yan Chuanhuan said that the website has returned about 70,000 this time, and more importantly, the reputation and reputation of the website have been greatly damaged.

Yesterday, some netizens said that "group buying" was generally initiated by merchants and websites. Many netizens pursue the fame of the website. Has the website fulfilled its audit responsibility for merchants? In this regard, Yan Chuanhuan first apologized to netizens. He said that in the future cooperation, the website will increase the review of the credibility of merchants.
