What special breeding scams are there? Teach you how to identify them
Some mainstream breeding projects face fierce competition, and the profits of small and medium-sized breeders are very low, which has led many breeders to start special breeding in search of a new way out. But special breeding also has some scams. What special breeding scams are there? How can you identify them?
1. Common tricks of special breeding scams
1. Good returns: special breeding uses low investment and high profits to attract people's attention. These breeding projects almost all claim to be a “huge profit for a small outlay” and that anyone who raises them can make money, but in fact there is exaggeration in all of this.
2. Fake names: most of the external information of some special breeding companies calls itself a certain scientific research company, a certain special breeding center, or claims to be included in the national Spark Program and other gimmicks to attract attention and trust.
3. Strong backing: some special breeding companies boast that their backing is strong. These scammers rent a room in some science and technology colleges and use the signboards of these famous schools as a cover, using the name of a famous school to defraud others of their trust.
4. Fake guarantees: they claim that the company's breeding project has liability guarantees from an insurance company and is also notarized by law, but once you pay the money, they will definitely take your money and run.
5. Technical support included: many advertisements for special breeding say that no diploma is required, region does not matter, anyone can learn it regardless of whether they have a breeding foundation, and the company includes technical services. In fact, special breeding still depends on conditions such as region, season, and climate.
6. Hiring paid posters: some advertisements for special breeding often post pictures, have comments signed by certain people, and thank a certain company or project for making them rich, all so that people know special breeding is still quite profitable and are more easily convinced.
2. What special breeding scams are there?
1. Scorpions: selling breeding stock at high prices and buying back finished products is one of the most common scorpion breeding scams. In fact, raising scorpions can make money, but it is best to understand the market and grasp the market, so that you will not buy poor-quality scorpion seedlings at a high price while being unable to sell the finished scorpions.
2. Ground beetles: ground beetle breeding is mostly hype in the market. In reality, ground beetle breeding, like other breeding industries, requires a forward-looking vision. As for the many advertisements saying that raising ground beetles is certain to make money, this needs to be judged with your own eyes.
3. Guinea pigs: they hype the extremely high medicinal and health care value of guinea pigs, giving them the reputation of black diamond and black beauty. In fact, this is just to “speculate on breeding stock.” The so-called “speculating on breeding stock” phenomenon is buying them back at a low price and selling them as breeding stock at more than 3 times the commodity market price.
5. Diving beetles: as far as the project itself is concerned, diving beetle breeding is indeed a good rural entrepreneurship project. It is just that many companies themselves aim to swindle money, have no relevant technology or breeding stock at all, and purely rely on speculating on breeding stock to make money.
6. Centipedes: centipede breeding is basically similar to ground beetle breeding, also dominated by breeding stock speculators, and the breeding volume far exceeds market demand. Although it is slightly better than ground beetle breeding, it is still hard for most breeders to make money.
7. Toads: breeding stock speculators sell seedlings at high prices, while breeders cannot find a market. At the same time, the medicinal value of toad skin itself still needs to be verified, and demand is not large. Wild toads are also relatively abundant, so the market is temporarily unclear.
