“虚构订单+虚假核销”薅消费券补贴“羊毛” “刑”吗？

Core Viewpoint - The misuse of government subsidies and consumer vouchers by some businesses has led to fraudulent activities, undermining the intended economic benefits of these programs [1][2][3]. Group 1: Government Subsidies and Consumer Vouchers - The "Le Pin Shanghai" dining vouchers are designed to stimulate family-oriented and experiential dining consumption, offering discounts such as 90 yuan off for a 300 yuan purchase [1]. - Some merchants have exploited these vouchers by creating fictitious orders and falsely redeeming them, effectively obtaining government subsidies without actual consumer transactions [2][3]. Group 2: Fraudulent Activities and Legal Consequences - A case in Shanghai involved employees of a restaurant fraudulently redeeming over 800 "Le Pin Shanghai" vouchers, resulting in a total of over 240,000 yuan in fraudulent subsidies [2]. - The court found that the defendants' actions constituted fraud, as they engaged in fictitious transactions rather than genuine consumer interactions, which is essential for avoiding criminal liability [3][5]. Group 3: Impact on E-commerce Platforms - E-commerce platforms have also faced similar fraudulent activities, where merchants exploited loopholes to claim subsidies without actual sales, leading to significant financial losses for the platforms [4][5]. - The fraudulent actions not only mislead consumers regarding the quality and reputation of businesses but also harm compliant merchants by distorting market competition [5].
