You can often see the news that old people are cheated and spend sky-high prices on useless health care products. Merchants often take advantage of the frailty of the elderly and the fact that their children are often not around, asking questions about the elderly, breaking their psychological defense lines and urging them to buy health care products, which is not only expensive, but may be useless or even worse after eating them.
Anti-fraud Raiders: With the gradual decline of various functions of the body and the aggravation of illness, the elderly will be particularly superstitious about various "magic" therapies in order to "not get sick". Some charlatans take advantage of the psychology of some elderly people and invite so-called "experts" to cheat under the guise of getting rid of illness and strengthening the body. The remedies have miraculous effects.
When people get old, they all want to get more care, but once they are not in close contact with their families and relatives, it is difficult for the elderly to defend themselves against the "caring" olive branch handed by strangers, and it is easy to be deceived. In many health care products frauds, swindlers will take good care of the elderly and ask questions. Children should communicate with their parents more, and caring for companionship is the best "health care product".
"yellow love" scam
Wu Mou, 66, dialed the telephone number in an advertisement for marriage. Unexpectedly, what she originally said was a romantic relationship, but it turned into "Twilight's derailment". In less than two months, Wu Mou received five women's marriage calls, and he arrived as scheduled every time, and was cheated for several thousand yuan every time. After Wu Mou found that the situation was wrong, the public security organs formed a special class to investigate and arrest the suspects.
After investigation, this is a gang blind date fraud case. The criminal suspect and a number of women formed a marriage fraud group, and published marriage advertisements through newspapers and websites, specifically targeting the elderly. Once someone takes the bait, they will cheat money by relay.
Anti-fraud Raiders: "Relay fraud" is a common fraud method in the process of blind date for the elderly. It is characterized by gang crimes, mainly targeting men over 55 years old. After targeting, they will * * * enjoy his personal information, then cheat one by one through crowd tactics, and then disappear.
Old people often yearn for blind date. Many lawless elements have grasped this kind of psychology of the elderly and proposed to get married as soon as they met to show their sincerity. After the old man agreed, he immediately asked for opportunities such as bride price and jewelry to defraud the old man of money. In fact, no matter what form, it is inseparable from the core point of "asking for money".
"Pretending to be a public prosecution law" scam
People who pretend to be "public security law" call the elderly and say that they are involved in the case, threatening them to accept the investigation ... Many elderly people have been cheated by scammers in similar ways and suffered heavy losses. The * * * nature of this kind of fraud is that after gaining the trust of the victim, the swindler not only commands the transfer by telephone remote control, but also sends a "public security assistant" to the victim's residence, or assists the victim to use online banking, or goes to the bank to transfer money with the victim.
Introduction: Pretending to be a public prosecution law is one of the common types of telecommunication network fraud. Criminals pretend to be police, prosecutors and judges, and issue forged notices of filing cases, court summonses and wanted orders. Cheat the victim's trust, and finally trick the victim into transferring all his funds to the so-called "safe account" to complete the fraud crime in the name of checking the funds.
In fact, neither the public security organs nor other political and legal organs have opened a so-called "safe account", nor will they inform the parties about the suspected crime by telephone, nor will they transfer money to the "safe account" by telephone to make a so-called "self-incrimination", nor will they send a so-called public security "coordinator" to assist in handling the case and transfer the funds in your personal account.
"investment and financial management" scam
In recent years, there have been frequent cases of illegal fund-raising. Most of the victims are elderly people, and some elderly people have even been cheated out of their coffins. At first, some lawless elements often fabricated various investment projects in the name of investment, wealth management and pension services, and illegally raised funds with high interest, high return and low risk as bait.
Anti-fraud strategy: In recent years, there are many kinds of fund-raising fraud. When investing, the elderly should enhance their risk awareness, consider whether the high return promised by relevant enterprises is reasonable, and compare whether the interest rate of bank loans and the return rate of ordinary financial products are too high. Don't be fooled by attractive projects and high returns.
Because the elderly account for a large proportion of the victims, as children, they should help their parents to establish a correct world outlook and communicate with their parents more, so that the elderly will take the initiative to discuss things with their children. At the same time, strengthen their own risk awareness and better help parents prevent fraud.
"consumer pension" scam
When people are old, the most important thing in their hearts, besides children, is probably the issue of providing for the elderly. In the past two years, a company named "Mama Le" appeared in xinmi city, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, focusing on the concept of "consumer pension". It is said that joining "Marley" can not only support the elderly, but also receive money every day and travel for free. Police investigations show that the company fabricated corporate image, illegally absorbed more than 50 million yuan of funds from the elderly, and more than 500 elderly people were cheated.
Anti-fraud strategy: As a member, you can not only get rich gifts and free travel opportunities, but also return to your hometown after half a year and get high remuneration. Such a good thing really captured the hearts of many people, especially the middle-aged and elderly people with relatively weak preparedness. Under the guise of more consumption and high rebate, "Marley" actually takes high rebate as the core, deceiving the elderly to regard consumption as investment. These companies themselves do not have financing qualifications, and they publicize and absorb funds to the public, and their actions have been suspected of illegal fund-raising.
It is understood that many elderly people invest behind their children's backs, and some even borrow money to invest. Family members should pay more attention to caring for the elderly and communicate with each other in time to avoid falling into a scam.
"God doctor" selling fake drugs scam
The swindlers who commit crimes by gangs have their own teams, mainly for the purpose of selling counterfeit drugs. They have been posting all kinds of strange prescriptions on the Internet for a long time, boasting that they don't need injections or medicines. As long as you take their medicine, you can completely cure diabetes, and you can eat and drink at will without scruple. I don't care about the health of diabetics. People with diabetes want to live a normal life. Once they bought their so-called "magic medicine", they couldn't find any contact information, and there was no way to complain and their money was damaged.
Anti-fraud strategy: medicine shows that diabetes can not be effectively cured so far, and can only be treated for a long time. Some advertisements say that curing diabetes is a scam, with the aim of selling fake drugs. Some elderly patients are nervous and become sensitive because of long-term suffering from illness. In order to cure the disease at all costs, I accidentally fell into a trap and was led by a liar.
With the development of science and technology, the deception of swindlers is also advancing with the times, which makes many elderly people unaware that they have been cheated, and even worse, they turn against their families. Therefore, elderly diabetics must recognize this scam and prevent themselves from being cheated.
"Health talk" scam
With the increasing demands of the elderly for a healthy life, some lawless elements take advantage of the eagerness of the elderly to seek success, explain health care knowledge and even "master practice" under the pretext of "free medical examination" and "free experts" to defraud the elderly of their money. In fact, these are all scams carefully designed by scammers. They first use small gifts to attract the participation of the elderly, then play warm cards to establish feelings with the elderly, then fill in information to get personal medical history, and then take time off from a famous doctor to give a speech, and ask the so-called experts for consultation. Consultation is to pretend to ask questions according to the "personal medical history" provided before, and the last step is to sell unqualified health care products. The profit is as high as dozens of times.
Anti-fraud strategy: At present, the "health lecture" scam is mainly aimed at the elderly. Criminals take advantage of the low vigilance and greed of the elderly to attract small gifts and then cheat. Therefore, the elderly should be cautious in attending health lectures, don't be greedy and cheap, and don't believe that pies will fall from the sky.
When someone boasts to you on some occasions, famous experts, professors and professionals explain health care knowledge, and after the explanation, the experts receive consultation and recommend high-grade drugs, you must be vigilant. In order to avoid being fooled, the elderly can also write down the names of drugs and go home to ask their families to help search and verify them online. If you are really sick, you should go to the hospital in time and go to a regular pharmacy to buy medicine. If you find similar fraud, you should call the police immediately.
"Winning tax rebate" scam
Uncle Zhang, 76, received a phone call at home, claiming that he had won the grand prize of 88,000 yuan. However, after the other party asks him to pay 20% personal income tax, the bonus will be directly credited to the winner's account. Subsequently, the other party sent a bank account number. Just as Uncle Zhang was about to go to the bank to pay the other party, the police arrived in time to dissuade him and finally saved Uncle Zhang's pension.
Anti-fraud Raiders: Older people should not trust phone calls and text messages of unknown origin, and should not easily disclose personal information to strangers. Don't be credulous when you receive strange phone calls such as "lottery winning tax refund" and "house buying tax refund". Government departments will not apply for tax refund, grant subsidies or freeze funds by telephone. When a stranger calls the bank to handle the transfer procedure, don't believe it under any pretext, so as not to cause property damage.
When we were young, our parents taught us not to talk to strangers. When they grow up, elderly parents can easily believe other people's "sweet words".
Old people know better than young people that "there will be no pie in the sky", but why are they repeatedly cheated? When it comes to stories, everyone knows that old people are lonely and need socialization and comfort. It is the absence of children that makes liars superior.
For parents, companionship is the longest confession!
Hope to adopt.
