Are there any risks for seniors to be defrauded when traveling?

The trick is to buy travel tickets at cheap prices and then consume them fraudulently.

In June 2021, Lin Li discovered that a travel agency had launched a Mother's Day promotion, and you could have a 5-day trip to Xiamen for only 850 yuan.

Lin Li recalled that before entering the store, the tour guide tried his best to promote the jewelry store and let everyone buy some souvenirs. "If you don't buy it, the tour guide will be unhappy and his words will be thorny and very unpleasant." Thinking about it now, Lin Li suddenly realized that everything was a trap.

However, in this scam, the tour guide's vigorous lobbying can only be regarded as "padding". What really makes it difficult for the elderly to resist is the "serial conspiracy" staged in the jewelry store.

“After the tour group arrives, we will take them to the lounge to rest and explain some knowledge about pearls, including the color and use of pearls, and how to distinguish the quality of pearls.” The After Wang, a salesperson from the jewelry store, arrived at the case, he told the whole story about their fraud.

“Actually, explaining pearls is not really about selling pearls, but paving the way for explaining jade later.” Wang said that after “paving pearls”, the lecturer will come in to explain jade to tourists. .

“The lecturer will tell tourists that he is the jade supplier of this store, or he is the boss’s son or daughter, etc. In short, he is pretending to be the son or daughter of a wealthy person.” Wang explained that in the store Some lecturers will pretend to be people with identities, and then say that they have the authority to give discounts to fool tourists into shopping.

A lecturer is actually a salesperson. But unlike ordinary salesmen who wear work clothes, they wear casual clothes and disguise themselves as "boss's daughter", "shareholder's brother" and other wealthy second-generation identities, so that they have the right to speak in jewelry stores. The lecturer and the salesperson work together, "you sing and I sing", step by step to lure the elderly to pay for the product.
