How to identify the scam of the elderly?

The old man has been recruited many times, and the traps encountered by the old man mainly include the following categories:

First, take health as bait: this is a prominent scam in recent years, which can evolve into many versions. Some scammers go deep into the community in the name of free medical examination and free service, and fool middle-aged and elderly people into "being sick" for early treatment; Others hold so-called "health talks" in hotels, classrooms and auditoriums to induce middle-aged and elderly people to buy "magic medicine" or physiotherapy equipment.

Second, take family as bait: This kind of scam often asks the parties to transfer money for emergency on the grounds that their children, relatives and friends have accidents such as car accidents and debts. When the parties hear such news, they often lose their minds because of anxiety. In desperation, they acted according to the requirements of the swindlers and were deceived.

Third, take getting rich as bait: this kind of scam is mainly aimed at the parties who are eager to get rich. Liars describe that as long as they participate in their investment and wealth management activities such as fund-raising and equity participation, or buy rare treasures and antiques, they can get high returns. At the beginning, swindlers often put a long line to catch big fish, give the parties a taste of sweetness, and disappear immediately when the wealth reaches a certain amount, making the deceived people complain.

1, in the face of all kinds of deception, we must keep a clear head, don't covet small profits, don't believe other people's lies, and remember that there is no free lunch.

2, usually pay more attention to the news media, community blackboard newspaper, billboards, slogans and other propaganda, understand the current types of fraud, be vigilant, and strengthen the ability to identify fraud tricks.

3. Stay away from suspicious people. Remind the elderly not to be too close to "strangers" to avoid being deceived. In addition, don't bring valuables and jewelry when you go out alone.

Whenever you want to move money, don't believe the liar's nonsense of "don't tell anyone". When you can't make up your mind, find your wife, children or your trusted neighbors and friends, inform them of the situation, ask for advice, discuss countermeasures, and resolutely call the police when it is necessary.
