Ridiculous? Three hundred would-be investors in Shanxi didn't think so. And neither they nor the police are laughing. The Shanxi public security department and the Taiyuan Supervisory Office of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) have closed six separate attempts to operate fake stock markets in the province since April. The bogus stock markets appeared in Taiyuan, Linfen and in other cities of Shanxi, reported the October 10 Hong Kong Ming Pao. The accused allegedly took money from would-be investors and sold fake shares to them, even charging commissions on the sales. Some operators also conducted a phony "futures and options exchange," the article said. To lure investors, some of these stock exchanges had computers displaying what appeared to be financial data. Authorities claim, however, that the data was counterfeit�created and manipulated by the accused. In fact, orders could neither be passed to legitimate stock exchanges nor be legally registered for transfer. All funds invested by the victims were deposited into the personal bank accounts of the alleged perpetrators, according to the article. The Shanxi public security department and the securities supervisory department investigated a total of six illegal securities operations. Four companies named in the story are: Taiyuan Huihe Financial Consultative Co., Taiyuan Jinxuan Co. and Gujiao Jinsheng Investment Consultative Co. More than 300 investors claim to have been swindled out of nearly CNY 10 million (USD 1.21 million). To date, the police have recovered only a fraction of this figure, the story said.
