What are the nine most gullible "health care" scams for the elderly?

In recent years, many elderly people have been caught in a health care product scam, not taking medicine when they are sick, being cheated out of the "coffin book", and even receiving sales calls at home after their death. Therefore, Weibo @ Pingan Zhongyuan, the official of Henan Provincial Public Security Department, summed up nine "health care" scams that are easy to target the elderly, reminding them to be vigilant and not to fall into the "trap" of illegal health care.

1, "expert" free clinic lecture

Illegal traders sell drugs, health care products or medical devices in residential areas, morning markets or parks, and through free physical examination, they make nothing out of nothing or deliberately exaggerate the health risks of the elderly, thus achieving the purpose of selling drugs.

2. Promote the efficacy of products.

Regular health care products have the effect of national approval. Any health care product can only play an auxiliary role in health care or treatment at most, but can't play a therapeutic role, and illegal traders publicize the curative effect.

3, the product "cure all diseases"

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

4. "Chronic diseases can also be cured"

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

5. Import, patent and high technology

Attract elderly consumers under the banner of "import, patent, high technology and environmental protection". Deliberately exaggerating propaganda, promoting ordinary goods into high-tech or green goods.

6. "Free Travel" and "Physical Examination"

Promote health care products with "strategies" such as free car use, travel and physical examination to induce the consumption of the elderly.

7. Emotional promotion of "chatting"

Some elderly people who live alone are eager to communicate with others, and scammers seize this and engage in emotional sales. First, I warmly greet the elderly, then I go to the door to talk to the elderly every day and help with housework. After gaining the trust of the elderly, I began to sell expensive products.

8, step by step, and finally "leave"

Free lecture on the first day, sending washing powder and other things; The next day, you can sell a low-priced item, saying that you can return it for a refund if you try it at home; On the third day, I will return the goods and refund the money as scheduled, and promote another high-priced commodity, usually several hundred yuan, and still promise a refund; "Leave" on the fourth day.

9. "Buying health care products can make a fortune"

Manufacturers claim that "health investment" pays off handsomely. As long as you buy the health care products produced by a company, you can not only get all kinds of rich gifts including overseas travel, but also get a large number of original shares of the group company. There are many reasons why the elderly are deceived in purchasing health care products, including their strong health awareness and "special liking" for health care products, as well as the increasingly hidden and deceptive marketing methods of scammers.
