(Zhang Yang) SEVERAL hundred people were cheated in an investment scam by a company called Shenzhen Kuaijietong Group (KJT) in Nanshan District, according to a report by Shenzhen Television on Wednesday. A victim, surnamed Fang, got to know a woman, who claimed to be both an employee and investor with KJT in March 2016. The woman, surnamed Lyu, told Fang that she had purchased luxury items, such as watches, cellphones and a BMW car, with the reward points she earned from investing, and the points could be used to purchase any item. As each point is equivalent to 1 yuan (US$0.15) and they supposedly accumulated like a snowball, Fang was tempted to partner with her friend and invested 45,000 yuan in KJT. On KJT’s website, the group asserts that it is an online finance firm, and that the rewards points can be used to purchase com- modities, automobiles, insur- ance and even real estate. It wasn’t until March this year that KJT’s online stores became available, but investors found out to their dismay that the reward points were only useable for trad- ing a few commodities. On June 2, KJT announced on its website that cash and reward point transfers in China had been suspended and investors’ account cash balance could be used to trade “Bama water.” Fang tried to contact Lyu to settle her investment, but she couldn’t reach her by phone. According to the victims, they registered their KJT accounts without signing any contracts, and they transferred money immediately after registering.

After selecting the 12 most- used fresh food O2O e-commerce websites according to Shenzhen consumers via an online ques- tionnaire, the council evaluated these websites’ customer relation- ships by using the Net Promoter Score (NPS) evaluation system, which mainly shows how likely customers were to recommend the websites to their friends. According to the council, the NPS is calculated based on responses to a single question — how likely is it that you would recommend this company, product or service to a friend or colleague. The scoring ranges from 0 to 10. Those who respond with a score of 9 or 10 are considered promoters, while those who respond with a score of 0 to 6 are labeled detractors and responses of 7 and 8 are labeled passives. The NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters. Based on the 2,400 responses that the council collected, the NPS report showed that JD.com ranked first with a score of 51.7, followed by sfbest.com and womai.com with scores of 41.9 and 37, respectively, while benlai.com had the lowest score of 11.6. Customers are more willing to recommend e-commerce websites with safe, fresh and lower-priced food products, but they would be reluctant to recommend a website if it didn’t have enough value-added services, a big enough variety of types of products or good-look- ing product packages, according to the report. The survey also included the NPS scores in five single indi- ces — brand power, service, delivery, product and price-to- performance ratio. The report showed that sfbest.com scored highest in brand power, service and delivery, while JD.com had the highest score in the product aspect and pagoda.com ranked first in performance-price ratio. According to the report, nearly 70 percent of the users of these websites are below the age of 36 and 58.2 percent of them are female. The survey also shows that most custom- ers place orders on phone apps or mobile websites, while fruit, meat, poultry, aquatic products and vegetables are the most purchased products.
