How can the elderly prevent fraud in health care products?

I think we should first understand health care products and then guide the elderly correctly.

Tell the elderly in your family that those so-called authoritative experts are not trustworthy, and do not be superstitious about so-called "authority". Try not to attend health lectures organized by health product manufacturers. When encountering other people's deception or instigation, it is best to excuse yourself with the excuse that "you can't make the decision."

I say this to remind everyone again that health food is not medicine and does not have therapeutic effects. It is also clearly written on the packaging. Dear elderly friends and friends with elderly people at home, please pay attention when purchasing. Please see clearly and think carefully, this thing cannot cure diseases, you must go to a regular hospital for medical treatment!

I believe everyone has understood that health foods are not medicines at all and do not have therapeutic functions. Those health products, such as propolis capsules (let’s just say propolis capsules, the owner of propolis capsules has the guts to kill me!), the product packaging has a batch number, a blue hat, and a production date and manufacturer. They are legal health foods and are sold normally. We have nothing to do with them. We can sell them for as much as they are willing to pay. Even if a broken pill worth ten yuan is sold for five thousand, we can't do anything about it. In a market economy, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. But, but, the problem lies in the exaggerated propaganda!

Health products do not have therapeutic functions, but will scammers say so? Scammers will boast that their products are magical and can cure all diseases. Their deceptions are very clever, and they seize the weakness of the elderly people who are afraid of death (those who are not sick and disaster-free just want to find some medicine to take), and deceive them into dying. They have studied the psychological characteristics of the elderly too thoroughly, and they have seized on these weaknesses to brainwash the elderly. I think there are four main points:

1. Loneliness

Our country has already entered an aging society. Data shows that there are currently nearly 50 elderly people in our country. Living alone. There is a lack of care for the elderly. Many sons and daughters go out to work and spend less time with the elderly. Humans are social animals by nature. They feel safe in crowds and like to be with other elderly people. In addition, most of the elderly are no longer engaged in social activities and are prone to illness and neglect of children. They pay more attention to health than the average person and are willing to double their money, time and energy. As long as it is good for the body, I am willing to buy any expensive health products. However, unscrupulous merchants see the psychological needs of the elderly to talk to others and have someone to accompany them. They organize various activities and invest a lot of emotions to make the elderly fall into the trap and consciously and voluntarily purchase various health care products.

The forms are naturally diverse. For example, this bed seller:

We received a report and came to this company located on the second floor of a warehouse in a market. We were stunned as soon as we entered the door. It was like a party. The old ladies, who usually looked quite shy, came up to sing one after another. That's right, it's not the liar who sings, but the old man and old lady (who has been deceived into lameness)! The scammers have turned their old place into a club for the elderly. Old men and women are especially willing to go there, and there is a lot of laughter and joy. It is here that you really find a sense of belonging, and it is warmer than at home. A liar is closer than a son. The son only wants to spend my money, but the liar only cares about my health. What to do next, accept the liar as your godson. It's no exaggeration. Really, more than a hundred old people in the store selling propolis capsules all accepted a liar as their godson.

2. Greedy for petty gains

These scammers are really scheming, seizing on the old man's love for petty gains and making a few bucks after giving a lecture. Chairman badges, a piece of noodles, a comb, etc., they are given out every day, they are all worthless things. Once we received a report that someone was doing this kind of propaganda in a factory in a certain town. When we arrived, we found a truck parked in front of the factory. We thought it was a truck of health care products, but it turned out to be a truck of noodles.

Reluctant to let go of the child, he also said that the liar in the propolis capsule shop, after recognizing hundreds of fathers, told the fathers that you should give your son a red envelope. Ten yuan is not too little. A thousand is never too many.

Then they give out red envelopes and ask the old people to put banknotes in them, write their names, and then hand them over to them, and they can get tens of thousands of dollars in an instant! Wait, do you think this is over? That would be to underestimate liars. Today’s liars are not that simple. After collecting these red envelopes, the scammer took the old people on a bus and went to a temple. When they got there, they offered incense to the old people for free and asked for a string of Buddhist beads to bless their fathers a long life. The old people were so moved that it wasn't over yet, and guess what? The scammer returned the hundred red envelopes to the old man. Not only did the original money in them remain unchanged, but another hundred yuan was added to each one! Now the old people were completely moved, their godson was not just looking for money! It’s really for our health!

3. Face-saving

The people who play together in the club are all neighbors. Uncle Zhang bought it, can I not buy it? Are you listening to other people's lessons in vain? Besides, my godson is so good to me, what’s wrong with buying him something?

4. Fear of death

The older I get, the more afraid I become. Besides, my godson is also for my health, so I have to buy it. My godson is right, I can’t take my money with me even when I die, so why should I leave it to my heartless son? He doesn't care about my life or death. He doesn't know where I am every day, unlike my godson who stays with me every day and treats me so well. My godson is really thinking about my health, buy it!

Everyone seems not to realize that there may be other risks arising from the promotion of health product salesmen.

The first step for a general health product salesperson to start selling is to chat with the elderly. While chatting, the elderly may inadvertently reveal a lot of family privacy. What will happen?

You don’t know how much money your parents have saved after working hard all their lives, but the salesman may know;

What kind of toy has your son or daughter just fallen in love with recently? You don’t know what kind of snacks you bought, your parents know, and the salesman may also know.

It doesn’t matter if the salesmen do their sales well, but if they have evil intentions, all the family privacy leaked by the elderly will become a sharp sword that hurts your family.

They can use your family information to commit fraud. If it happens that your family's financial situation is very good, it happens that your children are still young, and it happens that the salesman is eager for money... guess what will happen?

Possibly a kidnapping.

I don’t know what else criminals can do with personal and family privacy. After all, I don’t do illegal business.

Maybe you will say, how can there be so many bad people?

But if you can be targeted by salesmen, your family’s financial situation won’t be very bad, right? If you know that health care products are of no use but still have high profits, and still sell them desperately, you can be considered a profit-minded person, right?

Are you so relieved to have such a person close to your family?

So, are you sure you still want the old man to spend money to be happy? Just think of spending money to find someone to chat with?

If you want to chat with me, there will be problems.

So, how do we counsel the elderly? I feel that when we study the psychology of the elderly, no liar can do it thoroughly. Then, we will learn from the experience of liars and do the opposite:

1. Spend more time with the elderly. If you have nothing to do, go home more often and spend time with the elderly. Encourage the elderly to develop healthy hobbies to make them feel less lonely.

2. Buy some truly useful supplements and healthy food for the elderly to show your concern. If possible, it is best to take the elderly to a regular hospital for physical examinations regularly. This way, you can truly be responsible for the elderly and reassure the elderly that they are no longer so "fear of death."

3. Guide the elderly correctly. Tell the elderly in your family that those so-called authoritative experts cannot be trusted and do not be superstitious about so-called "authority." Try not to attend health lectures organized by health product manufacturers. When encountering other people's deception or instigation, it is best to excuse yourself with the excuse that "you can't make the decision."

If we can really study the psychology of the old people like liars, follow the old people, coax the old people, maybe the effect will be better.
