Recently, the Economic Investigation Detachment of Xining Public Security Bureau of Qinghai Province cracked an elderly care fraud case. Taking advantage of the elderly's weak ability to prevent fraud and insufficient protection capabilities, etc., under the guise of "oldership services" and "healthy elderly care", it specifically cheated the elderly's hard-earned money and pension money, and seized more than 1.4 million yuan of funds involved.
He said he could play chess with him, and the old man was moved
"A few days ago, many elderly people came to our Economic Investigation Detachment to report the case. The elderly people were excited and could not understand why they were cheated." At around 14:00 on September 16, Ji Lunhui, a police officer from the Fourth Brigade of the Economic Investigation Detachment, was heartbroken when he talked about the situation where many elderly people were deceived and reported the case a few days ago.
Among these elderly people, Uncle Liu is one of them. Why was this 80-year-old man cheated? Uncle Liu was also confused and told about his deception process.
Uncle Liu was widowed in his early years, and his son and daughter were working in other places. After retirement, he lived alone at home, financially safe, but he felt lonely from time to time. Fortunately, Uncle Liu has a spiritual sustenance - chess, who accompanied him through some lonely days. "Killing two games" with chess friends from time to time is Mr. Liu's greatest happiness.
In mid-March this year, Mr. Liu had just finished playing chess and was about to go home. When passing by a building in Chengxi District, Xining City, a young man held Mr. Liu's hand, hoping that Mr. Liu could take a look at their company's pension products. Mr. Liu was anxious to go home to make dinner, but the young man was very persistent and held Mr. Liu's hand. In order to get rid of the young man, Mr. Liu had no choice but to leave the contact information.
I thought this matter would end like this, but unexpectedly, the ringtone of Mr. Liu's cell phone rang, "Uncle Liu, it's me, Xiao Wang, we met a few days ago. Do you still remember me?" Listening to the strange voice, Mr. Liu thought for a long time, and heard Mr. Liu's hesitant tone on the other end of the phone. Xiao Wang told the two of them in detail. "So it's you, what's wrong?" After thinking about it, Mr. Liu was anxious to play chess and didn't say anything to Xiao Wang, so he hurriedly hung up the phone. The next day, Mr. Liu received another call from Xiao Wang. At first, Xiao Wang invited Mr. Liu to the company to listen to the explanation of the elderly care products. Later, he found that Mr. Liu was not interested, so he stopped introducing him, but just asked about his well-being. After persisting like this for a week, Xiao Wang found that Mr. Liu would play chess every time he hung up the phone. He also learned during a chat with Mr. Liu that Mr. Liu loved playing chess and learned that Mr. Liu's children were all working in other places, and Mr. Liu lived alone.
When the second week, Xiao Wang invited Mr. Liu to play chess in the company and told Mr. Liu that there is a chess master in the company who can compete with Mr. Liu. After hearing this, Mr. Liu was moved and put on his clothes and prepared to go to Xiao Wang's company.
chess was not played but fell into a trap
Uncle Liu went to Xiao Wang's company and looked up and saw a sign at the door of the company with the words "Xiangzhou International". After entering, someone did play chess with Mr. Liu, but before two games were played, Xiao Wang brought a man in a suit to Mr. Liu, took Mr. Liu to the company's conference room, took out his computer, screened the PPT, and explained the company's health care project to Mr. Liu.
"Mr. Liu, look, our company has direct nursing homes in seven cities including Chengdu, Sichuan, Sanya, Hainan, Kunming, Yunnan, etc. Kunming is like spring all year round, Sanya is blue sea and blue sky, each of which is a good place. As long as you become our member, you can go wherever you want to retire. Every quarter we will organize you elderly people to go together." This man, known as "Manager Wan", claims to be Mr. Liu's one-on-one account manager, responsible for answering Mr. Liu's questions.
After listening to the scattered introduction, Uncle Liu was a little moved, but reason still prevailed. Uncle Liu did not stay for too long and immediately came out of "Xiangzhou International". Seeing that Mr. Liu was determined to leave, Xiao Wang and Manager Wan were not angry, but instead smiled. But every now and then, Xiao Wang would still call Mr. Liu to ask about his well-being.
A week later, Xiao Wang invited Mr. Liu to a hotel in Chengxi District, Xining City to attend the dinner. Xiao Wang couldn't resist the invitation many times. Mr. Liu arrived at the dinner scene as promised. After arriving at the hotel, there were many elderly people coming to attend the dinner. Everyone sat around the round table. The dinner did not start immediately. Instead, a very "spiritual" young man in a suit told the story of Xiangzhou International Company, which was very exciting.
Uncle Liu then understood that if he wanted to go to seven cities for health care, he had to become a member of their company. To become a member, you need to pay money. Recharge 50,000 to 100,000 yuan, you can become a silver card member of the company. Go to any health care institution in seven cities. The accommodation standard is standard room, and the room and meal expenses are correspondingly exempted, but the grade is lower. Recharge 100,000 to 300,000 yuan, you can become a gold card member, and go to any health care in seven cities. The accommodation standard is single room, and the room and meal expenses are correspondingly exempted, and the grade is better. Recharge more than 300,000 yuan, then you are a diamond member. Go to any health care in seven cities. The accommodation standard is presidential suite. The room fee only needs to be paid a small part, and the meal standard is improved, and the overall grade is better.
recharged 60,000 yuan but waited for a nightmare. At an
lecture, the young man not only talked about the standards for becoming a member, but also told the elderly people in the audience that recharge members would also be rebates, with an annual interest rate of 15% to 18%, and a monthly rebate. Not long after, their principal was earned back, and they could also go to health care institutions for recuperation and travel at a low price. At that time, the entire lecture lasted for nearly 3 hours and there were many varieties. The "Golden Eggs" event was also held, and all the money was cash, which could be used if the cash was recharged on the same day. Surrounded by everyone, many elderly people recharged their members, including Mr. Liu, who recharged 60,000 yuan at that time and became a silver card member.
recharge membership, and all activities are over before the elderly start eating. I thought that becoming a member would enjoy various benefits, but this was the beginning of the nightmare of Mr. Liu and the elderly. In the days to come, Mr. Liu would be invited to nearby farmhouses, hotels, etc. to participate in activities from time to time. The staff explained that due to the epidemic, he could not go to other places for the time being. At the same time, Mr. Liu also received a rebate.
But the good times didn't last long. Uncle Liu could not receive a rebate in July, and Xiao Wang and Manager Wan could not contact him either. In desperation, Uncle Liu went to the company to find them, but found that the company was empty. In addition to him, there were other elderly people who could not receive rebates like him, so they also came to the company to find their "customer service manager". Only then did everyone realize that they had been deceived. After receiving the report, the police had already grasped some clues in the early stage, so they quickly implemented the company structure and arrested three main culprits in mid-August. According to statistics, nearly 40 elderly people were deceived in this case, with a defraud of more than 1.4 million yuan. At present, the three suspects have been criminally detained by the police in accordance with the law.
Police remind: Be vigilant about protecting your rights and interests from infringement
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Today's elderly people have better health conditions, more leisure time, newer consumption concepts, more frequent travel intentions and stronger consumption capacity. Therefore, the elderly pay more attention to high-level pursuits such as tourism and health care. At this time, some criminals regard this type of elderly people as "prey" and use tourism, health care, investment and financial management to defraud the elderly of elderly people's pension money.
All functional departments have introduced more and more effective measures to combat elderly care fraud crimes. In addition, in combination with this case, the reporter reminds the elderly that when their legitimate rights and interests are infringed, they should protect relevant evidence while protecting their own safety, and report and complain to the public security, cultural and tourism departments in a timely manner.
