Is recommending stocks all self-made? The 315 Gala exposed the stock recommendation profit-sharing scam, with profit-sharing institutions becoming a den of cut-loss fraudsters

At the beginning of 2026, the #315 Evening Show# received numerous tips from consumers: a stock investment business called "stock recommendation with a profit-sharing of 50-50" has attracted the attention of many investors. Industry insiders from legitimate investment institutions remind reporters that many of these so-called "stock recommendation profit-sharing" advisory services online are scams perpetrated by illegal individuals posing as legitimate financial investment institutions. If the recommended stocks are profitable, the illegal individuals demand a share; once the stocks decline, these individuals vanish, and the phrase "make up for the losses" is used to tempt consumers into falling for the scam.

The reporter contacted several institutions engaged in "stock recommendation profit-sharing" businesses online, and one institution claiming to be TianShun Investment caught the reporter's attention. Following the recommendation of the customer service personnel from this institution, the reporter bought 2,000 shares of a certain stock at a price of 18.82 yuan. However, in the following half month, the stock continuously declined, and the reporter had to cut losses after an 8% drop. The reporter conducted a video call with the customer service personnel to question this. In a fleeting moment during the video call, the reporter noticed the words "XinBenKe Information Consulting Co., Ltd." prominently displayed on the wall behind the customer service representative. Upon investigation, the reporter found that this company is located in Zunyi, has not obtained any financial qualifications, and is publicly recruiting telephone sales personnel. Subsequently, the reporter went to Zunyi City and successfully applied for a telephone sales position at the company.

The business manager of the company introduced the specific content of the company's work to the reporter: following a prepared script, they call daily to find and screen interested stock investors with funds to buy designated stocks. "Sister, you can rest assured, we will prioritize risk control and profit second. Our stocks are derived from joint research with multiple institutions, not just randomly given to you." The words were firm, but the manager showed no concern for the clients' losses. When asked what to do if clients lost money, she bluntly replied, "Just deal with it." Where do the so-called institution-researched stocks recommended to clients come from? A customer service representative revealed the truth to the reporter: the institution-researched stocks are merely a facade to deceive clients; the recommended stocks are actually selected by the owner of XinBenKe Company. XinBenKe Company relies on stocks arbitrarily designated by the owner, using clients' own capital for trading, enticing clients to purchase, and then conducting business based on a profit-sharing model. Among these arbitrarily designated stocks, there are always some that rise and yield profits, thus, the profits are shared, while losses lead to disappearance, forming the company's supposedly risk-free "stock recommendation business."
