Of course, there are also many elderly people who love to be greedy and cheap, which gives swindlers an opportunity. For example, a liar lied that he had treasures and wanted to sell them at a low price because of lack of money, inducing the elderly to be deceived; There are also scammers who deliberately drop more than a dozen banknotes or gold ornaments on the roadside to lure the elderly to take the bait, and then swindle money on the grounds of equal share; There are also some so-called free prizes, free experiences and so on. , mostly a scam.
The elderly are easy to be deceived, and the lack of affection is the key.
China has entered an aging society, and the aging population is increasing. Not only do rural young and middle-aged laborers go out to work, do business and go to school, resulting in a large number of "empty nests" in families, but it is also very common for urban young and middle-aged workers to go out to school, find jobs and live separately in different cities and cities.
Most old people live a lonely life of "a lock when going out, a light when entering the door". With the change of the traditional family structure, many elderly people follow their children to live in different places, far away from the long-term living environment. If they are old people in rural areas, they will face great challenges in adapting to urban life. In the past, villagers and neighbors became relatives. If you want to get married, every household in the village can visit. Even the urban elderly have left their hometown where they have worked and lived for decades, and there are no acquaintances. Former classmates and comrades-in-arms have become invisible friends who can only contact through WeChat.
Not only that, but now the old people are pursuing freshness, and their demand for some healthy consumption is gradually increasing, and their psychological demand for feelings is also very strong. However, the family gap between the elderly and their children is gradually increasing. In most cases, the elderly have no say in the new family. Most children go out early and come back late, finally get home, and rarely talk to the old people. Therefore, the elderly who lack social interaction and family care are naturally easily moved by the "family card" of scammers.
In short, the elderly have relatively low education level, insufficient social information and their own intelligence degradation. Some people use these to engage in illegal and criminal activities against the elderly. On the one hand, the media need to increase publicity to let the elderly know these deceptive tricks; Civil affairs, community and other institutions should send more volunteers to popularize knowledge around the elderly to prevent the elderly from being deceived; On the other hand, the relevant departments should intensify the crackdown to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly.
However, the elderly should remember that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and ill-gotten gains are not allowed. At the same time, the elderly must be vigilant when investing in financial management or making high consumption. It is best to communicate with children in advance, and children should pay more attention to their parents' needs and chat with the elderly on weekdays to enhance their awareness of prevention.
No matter how busy your life is, remember to go home and spend more time with your parents. Don't let your parents be empty and used by bad people.
