Why are elderly people easily fooled into buying fake drugs?

After listening to the random touts of drug sellers, I believe in the therapeutic effect of so-called magic hypoglycemic drugs. In the community where I live, Aunt Li spent more than 1000 yuan to buy hypoglycemic drugs that can "radically" her diabetes. But what people didn't expect was that there was no immediate effect after taking the medicine, but she was sent to the hospital by her relatives on the third day after taking the medicine and almost lost her life. The lesson is painful, but it is true. So, what are the reasons why the elderly believe in counterfeit drugs? Bian Xiao will introduce this knowledge today.

The reasons why the elderly believe in counterfeit drugs can be summarized as follows:

One is that the elderly lack critical spirit when receiving information. Old people tend to believe what others say, especially the voices of "authoritative" experts. Therefore, people often hold the banner of tiger skin tree and invite some so-called experts to talk about the so-called "international leading theory", "high-tech products" and so on. In addition, some elderly people are stubborn, and it is not easy to accept scientific information after believing this information.

The other is the poor information processing ability of the elderly. Especially when they suddenly get a lot of new information, the elderly are even less good at dealing with it. Some people have seized this weakness of the elderly and bombarded them with information. "Experts" talk about some professional knowledge that the elderly don't understand or understand, exaggerating the harm of some diseases unilaterally, making the elderly feel that the problem is serious, exaggerating the role of health care products, and making the elderly feel that they can't buy medicine immediately.

In addition, it is also related to the concept of respecting face of the elderly. Old people have strong self-esteem, love face more than young people, and are eager to be recognized by others, so they can't help being fooled by others. Some old people think that I have participated in other people's activities and enjoyed the services provided by others, and I will feel guilty if I don't buy some home. Therefore, some people use this to fool the elderly with sweet words and win them over with small favors. There are also some elderly people who think that everyone believes, and if they don't, they will fall behind, so they will pay for medicine with the crowd.

Last but not least, the elderly pay great attention to health care. Why are elderly people easily fooled into buying fake drugs? In the final analysis, it is because of old age. When people get old, their health will decline, and serious illness and small feelings will come to you. As a result, the elderly have paid special attention to drugs and health care products, produced special feelings, and even pinned their hopes for health and longevity on drugs or health care products.

China society has gradually stepped into an aging society. With more and more elderly people, some lawless elements are eyeing this huge group. There are many kinds of tricks, and the elderly can't prevent them. Do you know the way to prevent the elderly from being cheated? How to teach the elderly to prevent fraud, let's take a look with Baibai Safety Net.

All kinds of scams, the elderly have repeatedly been recruited, and the traps encountered by the elderly 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.
