ZhiMei recently read a news that the old man was cheated of more than one million in a foot massage shop and was angry.
According to reports:
Scammers took the idea of "maintaining the body and not causing trouble to the children" of the elderly, through free or low-cost methods, attracting the elderly into the store, fooling them into putting money into the health center, accepting "treatment, physiotherapy" without any medical qualification staff, the old people did not expect not only the efficacy was not seen, but also lost the money for the elderly.
Behind these so-called "health centers" is actually a well-planned fraud bureau with a clear division of roles.

Such cases are not a minority, and have been reported by many media before. Zhimei once analyzed for everyone that "Shanghai Aunt Li was deceived" is the real encounter.
I hope that after everyone sees it, they can forward it to the elderly around them, and don't be cheated of hard money by these bad people anymore.
In July 2020, 67-year-old Aunt Li was wandering around the community when she was stopped by an employee of a foot bath health center with the words "Yuan Zhen Tang" hanging on it, saying that Aunt Li could experience their foot treatment services and was not satisfied with the money.
The result of the experience was, of course, quite satisfactory, and Aunt Li was encouraged to make a card with the trend, saying that it would be cheaper.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and free is often the most expensive. Since then, Aunt Li has become the focus of the "Yuan Zhentang" scam.
Come over every week to soak your feet, talk about homely routines, come and go to Aunt Li's disease history, family conditions, and financial situation, and the scammers will be clear.
Because Aunt Li has been suffering from major depression for decades, she has gone to many hospitals large and small, but her physical condition has always been poor.
The wellness hall says:
Western medicine is no way for you to find this disease, rely on the instrument can not find out, we are through the meridian detoxification health to cure the root cause, Western medicine is the treatment of the symptoms, we are the root cause.
Rumors
The scammer gave Aunt Li a positive psychological hint that as long as she accepted their "therapy", she would be able to cure the disease, then Aunt Li would attribute all the positive transformations to the "therapy" of the health center, and even stop the examination and medicine in the regular hospital.
The health therapy of Chinese medicine in the mouth of the staff is actually to wrap a bag of Chinese medicine with gauze that does not know what ingredients are, stir-fried and put it on the customer, claiming that it can act on the acupuncture points.
And this cost may be a few dollars of things, by the scammers to fool to tens of thousands, but with the card, you can enjoy the discount. Aunt Li was persuaded by the repeated bombardments to buy dozens of packages.
The "treatment" of the elderly is recorded

The next operation is even more "hades", Aunt Li is 67 years old, and there is even a so-called health care project that "activates kidney cells and hormones"! Do 50,000 at a time.

Just like this, step by step, Aunt Li spent 3 million yuan before and after.

Seeing here, you will also wonder, 3 million is not a small amount, may be the life-saving money for the pension in the future, how to say that it can be spent? Is this money so good to cheat?
Here also have to "admire" the psychological tactics of the liars, your doubts they all think of.
The clerk told Aunt Li that there are many preferential conditions in this store, and there will be 1 million points every year, equivalent to 1 million yuan in cash, which cannot be withdrawn, but can be enjoyed for life, but the premise is to spend 3 million yuan. There is still a gap of 50,000 to meet oh!
From free to 3 million, to lifetime points, this is to take advantage of the psychology of human nature like greed.
Greed is often people think that possession is greater than giving, and even possession without paying, so people are willing to invest in such a model in this cognitive situation, even at all costs.
In addition, the store also claimed that Aunt Li could enjoy elderly care services here. It is said that the boss has run a nursing home in Beijing, because Aunt Li is a diamond member, and when she is old, she can live in it for free.
But when asked if there was a contract, Aunt Li said that she did not get the contract. What a pie master!

Fortunately, Aunt Li's daughter discovered the mother's abnormality in time and reported the situation to the Market Supervision Bureau and other departments.
On the morning of August 21, 2021, the parties concerned have fully refunded the consumer's consumption amount of 2.95 million yuan.
In view of the fact that the parties are suspected of fraud and criminal offenses, the Market Supervision Bureau has transferred the case to the public security organs for handling, which can be described as a great pleasure!

In recent years, scams targeting the elderly have emerged in an endless stream.
Before there was the mung bean master Zhang Wuben who "ate back the disease he ate", and then there was the Divine Doctor Universe who openly made a "decision to go against the ancestors" and sold you the ancestral secret recipe.

Criminologist Hans von Hentich pointed out as early as the 1940s:
Older people hold most of the accumulated wealth and the right to give it to them.
At the same time, they are physically weak and mentally debilitated. The combined effects of wealth and physical and mental vulnerability put older persons at risk.
After incomplete statistics, we found three areas with a high incidence of parental fraud cases, and asked the majority of children to pay attention to the safety of parents.
01
Massage therapy shops under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine health care, many do not have qualifications, with free to attract middle-aged and elderly customers, as long as you enter the store, a variety of hidden consumption makes you invincible.

02
Free physical examinations, low-cost tours, product presentations, and expert anti-cancer lectures, it is really difficult not to be impressed for the elderly who have illness and anxiety.
Tourism products under the banner of health care are also the hardest hit areas of scams. On the surface, the tour is free, but the health products that make you pay are secretly marked with prices.

Wealth management products in the field of pension also need to be carefully screened and vigilant against illegal fund-raising!
Some elderly people listen to low investment and high returns, and put their life savings into financial scams; some people have fallen into the trap of "housing for the aged", and in the end there is no one to retire, and they also put in the only property.

Some students sighed, this year's parents are too difficult to bring, you say I understand all this, but parents are not obedient!
Ten thousand words of advice for children, why not say a word to a liar?
In this sense, these scam news seem to be warning the elderly, but in fact, they are a warning to their children - our care for our parents is too lacking!
Today, with the aging of the elderly, there are more and more empty nesters in China, and the elderly first need a sense of belonging.
When this need to be cared for is not met by the family, the salesman's "gentleness" plays a role.
Therefore, usually chat with the elderly, use the method of talking about the news to tell them about various fraud bureaus, and give preventive injections in advance, the effect is better than complaining about accidents.
After all, the physical and mental care of children is not lacking, and the cheaters have fewer opportunities to take advantage of.
If you also have such a story around you, please leave a message in the comment area, the routine is more exposed, and the deceived people are less.
