In recent years, models such as “cloud cattle raising” and “cloud farming” have emerged, and their promotion gimmicks are usually: Investors only need to invest online to adopt, and they can obtain stable income. However, many so-called "cloud cattle raising economies" are actually illegal fund-raising activities by criminals under the guise of "cloud cattle raising" on the Internet. By investing 5,000 yuan on an online platform, you can adopt a cow. You thought you were a remote rancher, but you never knew you had fallen into an illegal fund-raising scam. Shanghai police recently successfully solved an illegal fund-raising case under the guise of Internet "cloud cattle raising" and arrested four suspects, with the amount involved exceeding 500 million yuan.

In recent years, the "cloud economy" has become very popular and has become a hotbed for some criminals. Some criminals use niche agricultural projects as a cover to conduct false propaganda using the Internet, telemarketing, organized party tours and on-site inspections of breeding farms, and promise guaranteed capital and interest and high returns to lure investors into investing.

It is a good thing to participate in the new economic model of agricultural "cloud farming", but investors also need to keep their eyes open. Investors must do a good risk assessment before investing, and do not be blinded by "high returns" and hope to obtain "flooding profits" through "drops of capital". In the end, they step into the criminal trap of illegal fund-raising.
