【Anti-fraud reminder】Double Ninth Festival, be wary of the black hand of fraud reaching out to the elderly!
Today is a special day - Chung Yeung Festival, in addition to respecting and loving the elderly, there is another thing that we should not be careless, that is, to prevent fraud against the elderly. There is such a group of criminals who specialize in targeting the elderly, and their tricks are endless, and we must not take it lightly!
01
Investment and wealth management fraud
With the continuous improvement of living standards, investment and financial management are becoming more and more popular, and many people in the society have begun to invest the money in their hands, hoping to earn more money, and the elderly who have money and leisure are no exception. Criminals take advantage of the elderly's eagerness to make money through investment, and seize the characteristics of the elderly who do not understand investment and financial management, and use "high yield" and "zero risk" as bait to win the trust of the elderly and induce them to buy "products". Once the elderly buy the relevant "products", not only can they not get the so-called "high returns", but they are only waiting for people to go to empty buildings.
【Police Reminder】Risks and returns coexist, and any investment that claims to be risk-free and high-yield is a scam!
02
Impersonating the public prosecutor's office to defraud
In order to prove his innocence, the old man transferred the money from his account to the so-called "safe account" for investigation according to the scammer's prompts, and was deceived as a result.
[Police Reminder] The public security organs will not handle cases by phone calls, and there is no so-called "safe account"!
03
Health care scams
There are often criminals who introduce medicines or medical devices through phone calls, videos, and elderly people. On the phone, criminals often say that the so-called "medicine" is fanciful and cures all diseases, and they will even invite the elderly to try it under the banner of free. Once the elderly agree to try it, criminals will cheat money under various excuses such as "postage" and "cost". In fact, these so-called "miracle medicines" may just be some health products with no actual effect, and even may be counterfeit drugs.
[Police remind] must go to a regular medical institution for treatment, and do not believe in those so-called "miracle doctors" and "miracle medicines". There is no "miracle cure" in the world, and if someone comes across a so-called miracle medicine that claims to you, it can basically be concluded that they are liars!
04
"Winning the lottery" scams
Scammers pretend to be program groups and shopping platforms to call and say "I have won the lottery" and become a lucky audience, and the scammers will ask you to pay "personal income tax", "notary fees", etc., which is actually cheating money!
【Police Reminder】There is no free lunch in the world, don't be greedy for windfalls, don't be gullible when you receive this kind of winning information, and give priority to discussing with your children.
How to prevent telecom network fraud for the elderly
1. Do not believe any bank transfer or remittance that asks you to make a bank transfer or remittance of your deposit by phone or text message.
2. Middle-aged and elderly people should not rush to make judgments and decisions when they encounter things they do not understand, and do not transfer money before verifying the situation. Those who claim to provide you with notary accounts, secure accounts for deposit protection, are all scams.
3. Frequently talk to their children on the phone to understand their children's situation, and the elderly who are retired at home should insist on watching TV news, reading newspapers, understanding relevant anti-fraud knowledge, and raising awareness of prevention.
