More than 200 elderly people were tricked into "listening to lectures" in hotels. What tricks do you need to know to deceive the elderly?

Since the rapid development and popularity of the Internet, due to the virtualization of the Internet, it has become a paradise for many scammers. More than 200 teachers were also deceived into attending lectures in hotels. This kind of lectures is not really about learning knowledge, but about selling high-priced products to the elderly through lectures. However, the quality of the products is worrying. So what other scams are there to deceive the elderly? What routines do you need to know? The editor will explain it in detail below.

The most common one is tour groups for the elderly. Scammers mainly take advantage of the elderly's love for petty gains and their emotional need for loneliness and companionship. They greet the elderly during the trip and first conduct ice-breaking sales. The old people relax their vigilance through close relationships, and then sell high-priced products. These old people who have simply not been baptized by the economy and society are embarrassed to refuse, and finally buy high-priced but unnecessary useless products.

The so-called low-price tour groups are nothing more than recruiting people who want to travel at very low prices. According to the tour price of two to three hundred yuan, the merchants can’t even get their money back. During the travel process There are many shopping links interspersed in the three-day trip. Only one day is spent traveling, and the remaining two days are spent going to shopping malls or staying at shopping spots, exchanging time for sales.

The other is financial investment, which is even more hated by everyone. The merchants let the elderly invest first and promised to share the profits every month, which suddenly hit the hearts of the elderly. After investing, you will also receive a corresponding pension share every year, allowing the elderly to have a fixed income in their later years and improve their quality of life. Many elderly people have fallen into the trap and invested most of their life savings into it, only to end up with nothing but money and money. The merchants have fled and they have no way to complain.

Therefore, if there are elderly people at home, they must educate them more about science and improve their awareness of safety precautions, consumption and investment, etc. They must be cautious and do not let those speculative businessmen take advantage of them just because they are greedy for small gains. You get a bargain, but you lose money.
