How should the elderly avoid health care scams?

In particular, the elderly should be vigilant, not greedy for petty gains, not trusting others' words easily, keeping a clear head to make correct judgments on things, and avoiding health care scams to a greater extent.

What happened in this article is like this. Aunt Li, a 67-year-old from Shanghai, spent a year or so in the community foot bath health care center and spent 2.95 million yuan. Because Aunt Li was not in good health, the staff in the store exaggerated, treated her with traditional Chinese medicine, discharged meridian toxins, and used foot bath and the so-called "drug king" to trick the other party into spending. If she spends 3 million yuan, she can get 6.5438+0 million points.

In fact, there are many similar scams in daily life. Telecom fraud is common around us, while health care products fraud is aimed at the elderly, because it captures the psychology that the elderly love greed and are easy to believe what others say. So how to avoid them?

Stay alert. As children, you can tell the old people at home more cases of being cheated, so that they can be vigilant, don't believe what others say, you must have your own judgment, and you must remember the truth of "being greedy for petty gain". There is no free lunch in this world. We are not poor, so why bother to be greedy for that little thing. For example, many roadside scanning codes send eggs, and the free experience service in the store has invisible consumption. You may fall into the trap set by the other party unconsciously.

Keep a clear head. Usually, watch more news to broaden your horizons, keep up with the pace of society, accept anti-fraud propaganda, and learn more about what fraud methods are available now. When you meet them, you can judge whether the other party is cheating you. Most routines are the same. First, brag about how good and attractive this project/product is, and some will give it to you for free. When you are satisfied with it, you will ask him/her to buy it. The price will be sky-high.

Don't give easily. It is also the best time to cut leeks when the other party talks about products. If you want to spend money, you must pay attention. Don't just pay. You can contact your family or someone you trust first and ask their opinion. If you feel suspicious, call the police immediately.

My husband has experienced a similar scam before. Others came to the village to sell products such as water purifiers and rice cookers. In fact, their purchase price is very cheap. He bought a rice cooker from someone else. When we went home during the Spring Festival, I saw the rice cooker and asked him how much it was. He said four or five hundred dollars would be cooked in ten minutes, which was for cooking time, but the price really shocked me. It is the kind of old-fashioned rice cooker that only has the function of cooking and heat preservation, and it is not worth the price at all. I searched for 100 yuan on the internet, and the rice I cooked was not delicious. After telling him, he said that he would not buy it again, and he was distressed by the money he spent.

For the health care scam, in fact, you won't be so gullible if you don't believe it. If you have physical problems, it is better to go to the hospital for examination. If the hospital can't cure it, relying on that health care product will not work, but it will make people cheat money.
