In modern society, criminal gangs use a variety of tactics to defraud the public, and street scams are the most common. Recently, a scam called the "Millennium Turtle" has appeared frequently, which is jaw-dropping. In fact, the thousand-year-old turtle in the mouth of these so-called "migrant workers" is nothing more than a well-planned scam. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the operation mode of the scam, reveal its internal logic, and call on the general public to be vigilant and build a harmonious society.
Street Scam: Exploring the "Millennium Turtle"
In the streets and alleys, people often see vendors mixed with all kinds of rare animals, especially the "thousand-year-old turtle" is the most eye-catching. These scammers attract attention with their clever tongues and whimsical tales, claiming that migrant workers have stumbled upon such rare treasures at the construction site. They trumpet the miraculous healing properties of the turtle, which they claim to prolong life and bring good luck. However, behind all this rhetoric, there is an unknown fraud.
Most of the deceptive methods in this line are simple appearances, like ordinary laborers, and their simple image is used to cover up their fraudulent nature. They will coat the surface of the turtle with dirt to show that it has just been unearthed, confusing the unaware. What's more, they even hire others to act as "childcare", pretending to be buyers, and claiming that they have "witnessed the magic of the turtle on the spot", further enhancing the reliability of the scam.
The scam revealed: the hidden mystery
The so-called "Millennium Turtle" is actually an ordinary turtle, and those who call themselves "migrant workers" are actually fraudsters with superb acting skills. They craft compelling stories to entice their audience to pay, often succeeding in swindling buyers when they are moved by their words.
These frauds often employ psychological tactics to induce lifelong regret in the purchaser's mis-error. The method is to exaggerate and promote the rare and rare number of turtles, which once sold, they are gone and difficult to recover. Such psychological cues make many people lose their minds and rush to buy them. Scammers take advantage of the trend to inflate the selling price and make huge profits.
However, many consumers often do not realize that they have been deceived until after the incident. For example, Mr. Yang, due to the influence of the moving legend of the "thousand-year-old turtle", did not hesitate to invest a huge amount of money to buy this turtle, but he did not know that the truth was only worth tens of yuan. The resulting sense of being defrauded is undoubtedly humiliating.
As citizens, we should always be vigilant and rational, and not be swayed by street rhetoric. Maintain a high degree of vigilance and prudent handling of illegal product promotion. If there is any suspected fraud, it should be reported to the relevant departments immediately to protect personal and public interests and build a safe and harmonious community.
