Anchor accused of suggesting that his cosmetics are "cancer-proof"
Cheating the elderly of money for treatment
On April 19, "Huahua", who claimed to be a cosmetics inspector, posted a video saying that she graduated from the University of Science and Technology Beijing in June 2022, and her mother was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, and it took her a year to make up her mother's surgery fee with a debt of 200,000 yuan, "I work in the company during the day and deliver food at night", but my mother's health is getting worse and worse, and I asked relatives to learn that my mother used the money she saved to buy medicine to buy skin care products that claim to "contain collagen peptides" and "prevent cancer".
"Let your family never touch this word again, two points, one wide, three mouths, and a big mountain. In the video intercepted by "Huahua", the anchor Zhang did not directly say the word "cancer", but implied that the product could prevent cancer, and the word "cancer" was also typed in the comment area. In the upper left corner of the live broadcast room, there is a line of small words "Fortunately, with collagen, our family can be neatly and happily together".
"Huahua" said that he studied chemistry and is a cosmetics testing engineer, so he is very clear about whether these things are useful or not. In the video, "Huahua" demonstrated and pointed out that Zhang's operation of using alcohol to detect the content of collagen peptides in the live broadcast room was nonsense, and the so-called "fish gelatin" was only a thickener added to it-xanthan gum. She also said that after checking the relevant information, she did not find any data showing that collagen peptides can cure cancer.
In the videos released by "Huahua" on April 16 and April 23, many of Zhang's "brainwashing" words in the live broadcast room were intercepted, and the main audience was the elderly.
"What are you shooting? It's the rest of your life. Zhang declared that he did not make "money for losing conscience", saying that the product was "losing money" on the shelves, "such a thing, everyone loses 300-500 yuan." Zhang also told viewers to be grateful, and said that he was transmitting positive energy.
In addition, in the video comment area of "Huahua", many people said that they or their relatives were also deceived.
"Huahua" said that she sent out the video in the hope of reminding more people not to be deceived. Middle-aged and elderly people are easily deceived by this simple scam, and young people should look at their mobile phones more and care more about them.
