Many swindlers pay special attention to the elderly before cheating, because they have little contact with new things, low acceptance of incomplete information and weak learning ability. Most of the elderly have low vigilance, weak awareness of self-protection and lack of judgment on the rationality of things, and often some low-end scams can fool them.

Here, we should also remind the elderly not to trust the words of strangers. By watching TV and reading newspapers, we can understand some tricks commonly used by swindlers, improve our awareness of self-protection, and thus reduce the possibility of being cheated.

Second, the elderly are greedy and cheap.

Now most elderly people have experienced that miserable life, which is also the reason why most middle-aged and elderly people practice economy. However, in the eyes of scammers, this has become an advantage for them to implement scams. Taking advantage of the psychology of the elderly, they often take some measures to lure them by scanning the code to give gifts or attending classes for free. Many old people feel that they are cheap after receiving gifts and will also promote them to other old people. Liars will use this situation to create momentum and reward the elderly who invite the most people.

It has to be said that cheaters have various means, which makes people hard to prevent. As middle-aged and elderly people, we must firmly believe that there is no free lunch in the world, and there must be their purpose behind any activity under this banner. Think twice before you make some decisions. If you are cheated, you should take the initiative to tell your child, and don't deliberately hide it.

Third, there is no one to talk to, and liars are often regarded as friends.

The outside world is so wonderful that many young people want to travel to big cities. Their children have all gone out to work, leaving us alone at home, feeling extremely lonely. There are some things we don't know who to talk to. Liars will make us happy, and some even come once every three days to cook and wash clothes for us and be caring and attentive to us. It seems that we are our biological parents, but in fact, this is nothing more than trying to gain our trust in order to implement the next promotion and fraud. So be sure to polish your eyes and distinguish carefully, and don't be blinded by a moment of curiosity.

Fourth, the elderly pay attention to their health and have many geriatric diseases.

The older you get, the more you pay attention to your health, and most elderly people are persistent in health preservation. I believe these things can improve your physical function and physical condition. It is out of this mentality that some lawless elements trick us into buying health care products and even package them into elixirs that can cure all diseases. We couldn't stand the temptation and kept buying, which eventually led to more money and an incurable disease. Having said that, I have to remind you not to believe in any propaganda routine of health care products, which cannot replace medicines.

Keep a clear head, don't covet small profits, don't believe other people's lies, and remember that "there is no free lunch in the world" and "there is no pie in the sky".

Second, the elderly should pay more attention to all kinds of news media and community propaganda, learn more about official information and all kinds of fraud methods, and strengthen their ability to identify fraud methods.

Third, stay away from suspicious people, don't be too close to "strangers", always be vigilant, and don't answer strange phone calls and text messages casually to avoid being deceived.

Fourth, when you make up your mind, don't make a decision easily. Think more and consult more when you want to move money.

5. Go to the designated and formal departments of the government and the community, actively download the software of the National Anti-Fraud Center, and effectively identify and intercept fraudulent calls and text messages.

6. Older people who are not familiar with the operation of online payment platforms are advised not to bind bank cards on WeChat and Alipay, and only save a small amount of change. Try not to open online payment service for bank cards.
