What are the characteristics of suspected illegal fund-raising in the field of elderly care institutions?

Legal analysis: (1) Absorbing funds in the name of providing “elderly care services”. Some institutions have clearly exceeded their bed supply capacity or promised to repay principal and interest. In the name of applying for "VIP cards", "membership cards", "prepaid cards", etc., they charge high membership fees, deposits or recharge membership cards, illegally absorbing public funds. .

(2) Absorbing funds in the name of investing in "senior care projects". In the name of investing, franchising, and taking shares in projects such as health care and elderly care bases and senior apartments, individual institutions promise high returns and illegally absorb public funds.

(3) Absorbing funds in the name of selling “senior care apartments”. Some institutions illegally absorb public funds in the name of selling fictitious retirement apartments, retirement homes, etc., or by selling retirement apartments and retirement homes through return sales, post-sale leasebacks, agreed buybacks, etc.

(4) Absorbing funds in the name of selling "senior products". Some institutions do not have the true content of selling goods or do not sell goods as their main purpose. They use free travel, gifts in kind, health lectures and other deception and inducement methods, and adopt methods such as product repurchase, consignment and sales, and consumer rebates to absorb public funds.
