How to prevent the elderly from being cheated?

There are actually many ways to prevent the elderly from being cheated. First, tell them not to take advantage. When you encounter this kind of problem, you should communicate with your family in time and get help.

1. Keep a clear head and overcome greed.

Abandon the idea of "making big money with small money", "making big losses with small losses" or "getting something for nothing", and try not to take part in free trips, free tea parties, free trials of company products, free visits to company operations and other activities, so as not to be deceived by them, and watch your wallet carefully. Whenever someone asks you to pay, you must think more and see more.

2. Keep knowledge updated and increase information sources.

Always read books and newspapers, care about state affairs and broaden your horizons. In particular, we should pay more attention to legal columns and propaganda such as blackboard newspapers, billboards and slogans in some communities, understand all kinds of fraud methods, be vigilant and strengthen our ability to identify fraud methods.

3. Keep a social distance and stay away from suspicious people.

Some swindlers often take the initiative to greet the elderly, befriend them and show great enthusiasm. Be careful not to get too close to "strangers" to avoid being trapped. Don't wear valuables and jewelry when you go out alone.

Why are elderly people easily deceived?

1. The trust of the elderly increases significantly with age. The main performance is that the older you get, the more inclined you are to trust others.

2. The ability to identify fraud may decline with the increase of age, which makes the elderly more likely to be the targets of fraudsters.

3. Deception caters to the psychological needs and related needs of the elderly. Such as concerns about retirement security, health care needs and psychological dependence.
