The charging pile scam that cost 3 million yuan
December 2023: Acquaintance A, introduced by a friend, invested RMB 3 million in a "new energy charging pile" project. The contract stated that "the right to income belongs to A, and the ownership belongs to the company."
First 3 months: monthly dividend 5% (150,000), A adds 1 million (total 4 million).
Month 4: The company suddenly announced "equipment maintenance" and dividends were suspended. A checked the accounts and found:
✅ The company account balance is only 230,000 (4 million principal is missing)
✅ The ownership of the equipment has already been pledged to the bank (contract loophole)
✅ The actual controller purchased 2 villas + 1 Range Rover within half a year (iron evidence of fund transfer)
