Taking health care products as "bait" to lure the elderly to "take the bait"
Recently, the Economic Development Branch of Zhengzhou Public Security Bureau cracked a case of cheating the elderly with health products and arrested 23 suspects, involving more than 4.6 million yuan. According to media reports, a reporter once walked into several communities and investigated 324 elderly people. It was found that 69% of the elderly had bought health care products. There are also many health care product salesmen who specialize in parks, gardens, cultural squares and scenic spots. Focus on the elderly who are lonely, and gain trust by chatting at home and asking for a phone call.
In the investigation and interview, many elderly friends talked about all kinds of experiences of health care product fraud.
Ms. Luo, a 67-year-old citizen, talks about the harm caused by health care product fraud, which is really "a bitter tear". One day, a group of people came to the community. First, I chatted enthusiastically with the old people, and gave away towels, washbasins, eggs and other daily necessities for free. When I left, I said there would be a gift the next day. The next day, they continued to give gifts to the old people as promised, and the old people were very happy; Next, they began to give lectures, introduce products, come up with high-priced health care products, and advocate that they can prevent cancer and cure diseases, keep fit and get rid of diseases, pay a deposit first, and get an invalid refund; At first, the swindler did not refuse the refund of the previous day, and even sent a generous gift; Subsequently, more and more greedy and cheap old people came to place orders and waited for a refund to receive gifts the next day; Finally, the swindler ran away with his savings. Ms. Luo bought more than 10,000 yuan of so-called high-grade health care products, and only after consulting relevant experts did she know that it was just ordinary food, with a total value of less than 100 yuan.
Sun Lanrong, a 77-year-old man, regrets that he was tricked into buying a water purifier for 4000 yuan. "At that time, a group of salespeople in the village were selling it, saying that it was a new anti-cancer and anti-cancer water purifier produced by direct manufacturers. After being filtered and heated by the machine, the boiled water you usually drink can be filtered out of impurities and sterilized. Seeing that many old people in the village bought one, I ignored the dissuasion of my five children and apportioned 2000 yuan to buy one. However, it broke down after a few months. The master who came to repair said that the price of this water purifier is two or three hundred, and it is deceptive to say that it can prevent cancer. "
Please keep your eyes open for these routines.
What tricks do scammers use and always succeed? According to Zhengzhou police's interrogation of criminal suspects, there are many tricks for swindlers to cheat.
Fraud gangs exaggerate the efficacy of drugs by placing advertisements on platforms such as new media, including so-called "expert" explanations and "cure" experiences. Once someone calls to buy, the salesman will further publicize and exaggerate the curative effect of the drug with fixed words, gain the trust of the elderly patients through rhetoric, and then sell the so-called health care products or drugs at a price higher than the purchase price 10 times.
