In recent years, fraud against the elderly has emerged one after another. Old people's ability to accept new things is not as good as that of young people. Because the channels for obtaining information are relatively simple and their ability to distinguish information is insufficient, they are more likely to fall into the trap of criminals.

So how to prevent being cheated? According to the characteristics of elderly fraud in the cultural tourism market, Baotou Cultural Market Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Bureau is sending a guide to prevent elderly fraud and teaching elders how to stay away from "cheating the elderly"!

First, unreasonable low-cost travel fraud

Second, fraudsters organize tourism activities at unreasonably low prices to trick the elderly into going out, and then through coercion, inducement, deception, bundling and other means, trick the elderly into buying fake and shoddy health care products and luxury goods at high prices, or increase various high fees in disguise on the way.

Anti-fraud tips:

The elderly must learn to identify the qualifications of travel agencies, take the initiative to reject "unreasonable low-cost travel", do not blindly pursue cheap, sign formal travel contracts, carefully buy items that they cannot distinguish between true and false, and must obtain invoices, receipts and other vouchers when traveling, so as to protect their rights afterwards.

Second, art fraud.

The key target of art fraud is the elderly. The criminals just caught the old people who like to collect things, but they lack the knowledge in this field and can't tell the truth from the false, so they use "high-priced collection" as bait to attract the old people to buy. In order to urge the elderly to finally pay, the liar will also arrange someone to play the role of "childcare". In this scam, the metropolis promised to "buy back capital preservation+contract guarantee" and other means. Usually, under the promise of premium repurchase and contract guarantee, many elderly people finally agree to pay.

Anti-fraud tips:

When auctioning collections and works of art, it is necessary to identify auction companies and art management companies with auction qualifications. Regular auction companies will not charge buyers any fees before the collection is sold. If you need to sign a collection repurchase contract, it is recommended to seek the help of a lawyer. When the elderly participate in the investment or auction of collectibles, don't trust the telephone, internet and TV sales, beware of the fraud traps of so-called "auction companies" and "art companies", and report to the police in time if they are found cheated.
