This egg looks free, but it may cost you money in the end. "Anyone who participates in the activity on time can get 10 eggs for free." In a village in Dezhou, Shandong Province, a group of strangers distributed this leaflet to the local elderly villagers. Soon, the news spread in the village, and the old people in the village came to the egg donation site.

Two days before the event, the old people did receive a certain amount of gifts for free at the scene. But on the third day, the person in charge of the activity began to introduce their company's products to the old people. Because of the preparation of the day before, many old people thought that they could return the money they had handed in with a surprise card.

However, when the old people paid the money, the five staff members present hastily packed up their belongings on the grounds of taking gifts and fled the scene by car until it was dark. At this time, the old people found out that they had been cheated, and suddenly everyone was stupid. Then some villagers called the police.

Measures to prevent the elderly from being deceived

First, 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.
