300 to 500 yuan is even less than 100 yuan. Two or three days is not enough. Why does the travel agency have to do it all day? Is it really making money at a loss?

In fact, you think too much, and you will never think of how they make money. Once you sign up, you will unconsciously fall into the trap of travel agencies. This is really affectionate since ancient times, and the only way is popular!

Older people who encounter routines have been cheated by more than 7 million for half a year.

In March of 20021year, Ms. Zhang from Shaanxi met a five-day tour group. The offer is only 599 yuan. She wanted to see the sea in an instant, and the low price made her sign up without hesitation.

In the next five days, the tour group did take her and other people in the group to Gulangyu, Nanjing Tulou and Nanputuo Temple as advertised. 599 yuan includes food, food and tickets for scenic spots. Ms. Zhang thinks this registration is really right.

However, on the last afternoon before the return trip, the travel agency didn't arrange any scenic spots, only said to let everyone have a rest and prepare for the return trip. The rest place was a jewelry store. On the way to the jewelry store, the tour guide has been preaching the strength and price of the jewelry store. Many jewelers from all over the country come here to wholesale, and the owner is very good. When they meet the right person, they will sell it at a low price regardless of the cost.

Of course, everyone in the group is what the tour guide said. After everyone entered the jewelry store, they first listened to the teacher's bluff and taught them how to identify and buy jewelry. Then they began to publicize how the jewelry in the store was discounted. You must not miss it.

Finally, all the tourists returned home with full loads, secretly glad that they bought cheap and good goods at low prices, jewelry stores and tour guides were also very happy, and another group of fools were taken in. Everyone was happy, but they won three times.

Ms. Liu and Ms. Zhang from Jilin have the same experience. 202 1 May, listening to Mother's Day preferential activities organized by travel agencies, 850 yuan is a five-day package tour. Action is better than action. Ms. Liu also signed up. Before the end of the trip, she was taken to a jade shop, and then she bought jade at an ultra-low price and returned home happily. She didn't know she had been cheated until her knowledgeable friend saw it.

In the end, the gang was captured by the police. According to the principal, he opened a number of jewelry and jade shops in the local area and colluded with travel agencies to attract elderly tourists from other places to shop and spend with "low-cost tours". All the jewels and jades sold with "handed down value" are cheap. In more than half a year after 65438+February in 2020, this gang defrauded more than 7 million yuan.

Since ancient times, love can't be kept, and only routines have won people's hearts.

Why do elderly people who are reluctant to spend thousands of dollars to travel spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands on cheap jewelry? This can only be said that "the deep feelings can't be kept since ancient times, and only the routines have won the hearts of the people." The swindlers of tour guides and jewelry stores are too realistic to believe.

Low-cost travel is an attractive gimmick, and selling jewelry is the real purpose. Visiting scenic spots a few days before the whole journey, tour guides have a close relationship with elderly tourists. In many cases, young tour guides are about the same age as tourists' children. When playing emotional cards, tourists are very comfortable and close to each other, and it is easier to believe the sales words of tour guides.

On the way to the jewelry store, the tour guide brainwashes first, and the people in the monitoring room always pay attention to the situation of tourists and distinguish which tourists are easy to be cheated and which tourists are more vigilant. After marking it, give it to the clerk, then convince those gullible pockets through the clerk's tongue, and then "lead in the first and lead in the last" to lure more people into being fooled. Of course, there must be a child care, always responsible for driving the atmosphere.

Stepping into the door of the jewelry store, the "chain cover" was immediately arranged. First, warmly greet tourists to rest, and then professional lecturers will perform on stage to teach you how to distinguish jewelry and how to wear and maintain it. Through enthusiastic speeches, tourists' desire to buy will be stimulated, and then jewelry will be sold to fracture sites at preferential prices.

After a series of deception, many tourists began to believe it, and they could not stand the temptation of low prices and began to buy it. And this is not the end, but the beginning of being fooled. After payment, the clerk will check the tourists' bank transaction messages on the grounds of taking photos and submitting financial information. If you see a large balance in the card, such a "fat sheep" can't be easily let go.

After the tourist information is summarized to the lecturer, the lecturer will find opportunities to take these rich people to the VIP room and continue to fool them into buying "handed down jade", often hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. When tourists show a little interest, the previous deception will be staged again.

In addition to routines, there are simple and rude low-level tricks.

This series of tricks is also a high-level deception, and simple and rude low-level marketing methods in low-cost tours are also popular.

The first is forced shopping. When we arrived at a jewelry store or shop, the tour guide made it clear that we had to stay here for two hours. If there are not enough transactions within two hours, the time will continue to extend and sometimes even double. The guide is staring at the door, and any visitor who doesn't pay will be extremely ironic until the consumption reaches the standard.

Second, consumption cashback. It doesn't matter that elderly tourists are reluctant to spend money. I will return your shopping. At first, I will return it in full, which is equivalent to giving something away for nothing. When more and more people behind can't resist the temptation and start to participate, the cash back will be lower and lower, but the atmosphere has already started, and the old people are busy shopping and have forgotten how much they can return.

Third, lure consumption, especially suitable for tea shops. When tourists are tired and thirsty, the tour guide will pull them outside the tea shop to have a rest in due course. Standing outside the door hungrily, watching the people in the shop drinking tea leisurely, it was unpleasant. However, the owner is also very enthusiastic and buys tea for free.

Some tourists came to the shop and sat down for afternoon tea. What do the tourists standing outside think? With the first leader, more and more people in the back can't keep face, and they also go into the store to have a tea break. I'm sorry to come back empty-handed after tea. I want to buy some tea more or less, and then buy back the rotten tea with a cost of only tens of yuan at a price of hundreds of thousands.

In fact, some old people know that low-cost travel is a scam, but they finally participated. It's not that they can't bear to take precautions, but that their children work hard outside and seldom go home all year round. Old people miss their children at home and see a tour guide about the same age as their children. They repeatedly persuaded a group of people to go out to play without spending a few dollars. Coupled with the emotional offensive, many old people couldn't help signing up, and later they were deceived by rhetoric.

It is also very simple to change this situation, that is, I often go home to see my parents, but I can't see anyone all year round! Children often go home, and the old man has no time and mind to go out to play. They just wait for their children and grandchildren to go home and have a good reunion!
