A strange sales trend called "banker's soil" has appeared in China, which is said to be collected from major banks, with reports of increasing wealth and dispelling negative energy, reported the "South China Morning Post". The price of this unusual product can reach 888 yuan (120 dollars) per piece, starting from just 24 yuan (3 dollars) for a "budget" version.
The video shows a person carrying a container of soil at the entrance to one of the banks with a guard, while in another video, a person with a spoon is scooping the soil into golden bowls with contact information for clients, creating something reminiscent of talismans.
One seller claims: "This soil is manually collected from the five largest banks and is believed to enhance wealth and dispel negative energy, although we cannot scientifically prove this." However, lawyers have expressed concerns about the legal implications of this practice.
"We are gathering this soil manually from the five big banks, and it is believed to enhance wealth and dispel negative energy, although we cannot prove this scientifically," said one of the sales representatives.
Lawyer Fu Czyan from the Zhijin Law Firm warned that if the sellers misrepresent the origin or properties of the soil, it could be fraudulent. "Buyers have the right to demand a refund of their money," he added.
Some sellers claim a "success rate of 999.999% in creating wealth". To support their claims, stores publish videos showing how the soil is dug up near banks.
