Merchants launch various activities to attract consumers and develop new customer clubs. The common means is to join a member, which is familiar to all treasure moms, but some treasure moms say that they can get free gifts such as milk powder and diapers with their birth certificates or buy one for one with milk powder. According to Ma Bao's feedback, most of the people who exchange birth certificates for milk powder are big brands, such as He Fei, Junlebao, Abbott and Mead Johnson. This kind of activity can be found in both online official website and offline maternal and child stores. Upload the original birth certificate online, and mainly use the copy or photo of the birth certificate offline.
In this era of increasing attention to privacy, many people will hesitate to consider providing personal information. Some treasure moms are worried about the safety of this operation, while others say it is tricky. It seems that the business has lost a lot, but the actual business has won steadily. If you ask the staff about the purpose behind this practice, they will generally reply that it is to explain to the activists and record the number of new customers, and also to prevent Ma Bao from applying for milk powder repeatedly. But in fact, there are many disadvantages in using birth certificates to participate in the milk powder activities of merchants:
1, the birth certificate is not only proof of the child's identity, but also records important information such as the name, address and ID number of the child's parents. A piece of paper can set out many people's information. Gifts can only be taken once, but information can be used thousands of times.
2. When the merchant gets the child's birth certificate, he may use the child's information to seek his own interests, such as calculating the child's age. When the child reaches the milk transfer period, early education stage, school age, etc. He will use the parents' contact information on the birth certificate for telemarketing, which is the telephone harassment that everyone often encounters.
3, the birth certificate is in people's hands, and it is difficult to 100% guarantee that it will not be used by people with a heart. If Ma Bao later registered the child and found that the birth certificate number was duplicate, the follow-up would be much more troublesome.
4. The milk powder purchased at regular price can't completely guarantee its safety, and such promotional milk powder products can't be 100% sure to be safe. When receiving milk powder, it is best to look at the production date and packaging of milk powder, verify the authenticity of milk powder, and make sure there is nothing abnormal before giving it to the baby.
Because there are many risks in registering a birth certificate to participate in milk powder activities, this operation is also called a scam. I would like to remind you once again that you should be careful to disclose personal and family information to the outside world, especially to unofficial departments and institutions, and don't lend important documents such as birth certificates to others at will. If your child's birth certificate is stolen by others without your knowledge, you must ask the police for help in time.
