How to deal with the health care product scam?

In the past three years, Uncle Guo of Yibin, Sichuan Province has been obsessed with various health care products (instruments), which not only cost10.3 million yuan for demolition compensation, but also spent more than 40,000 yuan accumulated by his wife in collecting garbage for many years. The old man died suddenly, leaving no last words for his daughter, but health care products filled most of the room. Even at the onset of illness, Guo refused to go to the hospital for treatment, but hoped that the store selling health care products would open the door after dawn to "take medicine."

Guo originally thought that he could live to 120 years old by eating health care products according to the requirements of "teachers".

The last vestige

"Many health care products piled up like mountains are still well packaged."

After Guo's death, the daughters cleaned up the old man's belongings and found that the old man's savings had been exhausted, with only 1600 yuan cash.

The elderly began to contact health care products three years ago. Since then, he has taken health care products home as if possessed. No matter how much the daughter and son-in-law advised, it didn't work. Guo Wuying said that many health care products bought by his father were not opened at all and piled up in a room.

Die of illness

"The wallet left is full of health care product membership cards and care cards."

What kind of magic does this "Jingxiang Flower Hand" that fascinates Guo have?

"Jingxiang Huashou" Community Life House

The registered name is "Xiaoliu Food Business Department, Cuiping District, Yibin City"

The old couple often go to the "Jingxiang Huashou" community life museum to give lectures. The business license shows "Xiaoliu Food Business Department, Cuiping District, Yibin City", which is a business place converted from a residential building. In the empty hall, there are not only sphygmomanometers and foot massagers. It can also be used as an eye care instrument after atomization of Chinese patent medicine. Landscape facilities are messy, but there are still many elderly people in the lobby taking blood pressure, doing foot massage, and some are still holding health care products. No one mentioned Guo's whereabouts.

The banner "Health products are not medicines, and cannot cure diseases" hangs on the wall, which makes people sad.

Statistics from relevant departments show that the annual sales of health care products in China is about 200 billion yuan, and the consumption of the elderly accounts for more than 50%. Among them, more than 70% of health foods exaggerate their efficacy. Although it is not uncommon for the media to report that the elderly are cheated in buying health care products at high prices, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the elderly to buy health care products. There are endless scams to promote health care products for the elderly.

After engaging in the pension industry, I especially hate this kind of liar who specializes in the elderly. They not only take money from people, but also hurt people's lives.

In addition to the market supervision of the regulatory authorities, as future generations, we should also be able to distinguish the authenticity of these institutions, and should instill in the elderly the concept of not being superstitious about health care products.

Liars pass routines

Win the trust of the old man step by step.

Scam 1 "expert" free clinic lecture.

Through free physical examination, the health risks of the elderly are exaggerated to achieve the purpose of promoting drugs.

Scam 2 hype curative effect.

Any health care product can only play an auxiliary role in health care or treatment at most, and cannot play a therapeutic role.

Scam 3 product "cures all diseases".

The advertised products are mysterious, effective for most internal diseases, and even "cure all diseases".

Scam 4 "Chronic diseases can also be cured".

It is said that hepatitis B, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and other world medical problems can be cured by taking health care products, which satisfies the psychology of patients who are eager to cure and do not want to take medicine for a long time.

Scam 5 attracts elderly consumers under the banner of "import, patent, high technology and environmental protection". Upgrade ordinary commodities to high-tech or green commodities.

Scam 6 uses "strategies" such as "free travel" and "giving physical examination" to promote health care products and induce the consumption of the elderly.

Scam 7 "Chatting with others" is an emotional promotion.

Some elderly people who live alone are eager to communicate with others, and scammers seize this and engage in emotional sales.

Scam 8 is set step by step and finally "leaves".

Free lecture on the first day; Sell a low-priced thing the next day, saying that you can return it for a refund; On the third day, I returned the money as scheduled, and promoted another high-priced commodity, still promising a refund; "Leave" on the fourth day.

However, as descendants,

We also have a great responsibility for the old man being cheated.

Should children and grandchildren reflect?

Do you spend too little time with the people you love?

Is it not enough attention to the spiritual level of the elderly?

Have you neglected the emotional needs of the elderly because of your busy work?

Avoid the elderly being "routine" by health care products.

Children and grandchildren are the key first line of defense.

Don't tell the elderly about health food, production license, website domain name filing and China Food and Drug Administration.

Use actions and emotions to subtly make them believe in science and not superstitious about health products.

1

If the elderly are caught in a health product scam, don't blame them, and don't say it when you are in a good mood. You can find a quiet place and wait for it to calm down. Maybe the old man agreed as soon as you asked. People are not vegetation, who can be ruthless, and who can be moved by the right method.

Spend more time with them and communicate with them. Encourage the elderly to read more books, watch more news, understand current events and medical knowledge to avoid falling into the trap. At the same time, find out the relevant cases of the victims, so that they can have a deeper understanding of the problem.

2

Persuasion from outsiders is sometimes much more effective than persuasion from close people. Ask friends, relatives and neighbors to help them "unintentionally" tell the "true story" that happened around them in their usual chat. In this way, the credibility will often be higher, and the elderly may "suddenly wake up."

three

Always miss that old man. Buy some green and healthy nutrients for the elderly in supermarkets and other grocery stores. That is to say, showing filial piety can replace health care products to some extent. Old people are enthusiastic about health, kill two birds with one stone, why not!

four

Pay more attention to the daily life of the elderly, encourage them to develop good living habits and rules, exercise diligently, maintain physical and mental health, and avoid being fooled.

One of the important reasons why middle-aged and elderly people are superstitious about health care products is that they are sick, so they hope to improve their physical condition.

Tell them not to be superstitious about health care products and to go to a regular hospital if they are sick.

Do remember!

Can't be superstitious about health care products!

If you are sick, please seek medical advice in time!
