Take advantage of the old people's worries about their families and talk with the old people in "seemingly" hometown dialect to defraud money. Recently, after being prosecuted by the procuratorate of Jianghua Yao Autonomous County, Hunan Province, the court sentenced the defendants Gao Xin and Liu Liang to three years, six months and three years' imprisonment for fraud, with a fine of 20000 yuan each. In 2012, Han Ming, Liu Xincheng (all sentenced), Gao Xin and Liu Liang met and made friends with an electronic factory in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. Because of their hard work and insufficient salary, they started a fast money telecommunication fraud business. From March to April 2014, under the organization of Han Ming, four people worked together in a division of labor, using the elderly's worried about the safety of their children who worked outside, and as their son, son-in-law, grandson and other identities, called to falsely claim that they had been caught by the police for drug trafficking, so they urgently needed to pay money for ransom, asking for money at home. And talk with the old man in his hometown dialect after hoarseness or voice change. After that, Han Ming and others pretended to be police officers and called to further urge the remittance and provide the bank card number. In this way, 8 elderly people in Jianghua county were defrauded of a total of 179000 yuan.
After swindling money, Gao Xin and Liu Liang fled and were arrested by the public security organs in March 2015. Now many old people are very easy to be cheated, but they can't remember why the old people are always easy to be cheated? What are the old people's methods of fraud prevention? Let's follow Xiaobian to understand.
Why older people are more gullible
Why are older people more gullible than younger people? The reason is that most of the elderly have less social information intake, especially the understanding of some new things will be relatively one-sided. The swindlers with good means often take advantage of the fact that the elderly pay more attention to their health and are more likely to believe in and worship the so-called authority.
Another important factor is that the elderly are cheated in order to meet their psychological needs. For example, although some elderly people live with their children, they care less about the elderly due to their busy work; or their children are far away from home, such elderly people are full of desire for family love. At this time, if there is a person like a relative who cares about the situation, the elderly's psychological defense line will be easily broken and fall into a fraud without knowing it. There are also some old people, although they have retired for many years, but because of their face, they don't want to be told that they are old and useless, and their inner pursuit of self-worth is no less than that of young people. Therefore, it has become a goal of swindlers to make a living with their savings to satisfy their sense of achievement. At the same time, the elderly are generally not rational. Although they are older, sometimes they just like a child. Seeing other old people make investment, their inner imbalance is extremely high, which leads to herd behavior and finally falls into one trap after another. Therefore, the younger generation's concern for the elderly can not be ignored. At the same time, when faced with such a scam, the elderly should learn to put down their face and keep a clear mind. The elderly can also enrich their old life by participating in recreational activities or some healthy and active social groups, learning scientific knowledge and mastering practical information, so that the swindlers have no chance. Six ways to prevent old people from cheating
Most of the elderly live on the first floor of the small courtyard. The doors and windows must be firm. There should be no climbing or climbing things outside the wall, such as trees, brick walls, etc.
When the elderly go out for a ride or shopping, they can put their wallets in the side pocket of their pants, and put some candy, paper towels and other items in the pocket of their coats, which makes it more difficult for thieves to start.
Most of the old people like to help others and ask for directions when they meet people, especially in remote places.
The elderly spend most of their time at home. They should be familiar with their neighbors' family members and relatives who often come and go. Suspicious people or strangers often wait and knock at the door. If necessary, call "110" to call the police.
When someone calls to ask if there is anyone else in your family, answer "don't let my son listen to the phone", etc. For the personnel whose identity cannot be confirmed, such as door-to-door maintenance, delivery, gift delivery, etc., their identity shall be ascertained.
Do not store a large amount of cash, jewelry, bankbook and other valuables in the elderly's home, and do not record the deposit certificate, account number, password, etc. in the book.
In fact, there are many ways to prevent the old people from cheating, but no matter how many, there are still many old people who are cheated, so we still hope to have children around the old people, so that the old people will not be cheated, and there will be no other potential safety problems.
