Wuhan Hongshan police cracked down on an elderly care fraud gang and arrested 8 suspects. The case is under further processing. medicinal wine is not a life-saving medicine
In June this year, Mr. Feng, a citizen, came to the Zhangjiawan Police Station of Hongshan District Branch of Wuhan Public Security Bureau to report to the police, saying that his grandfather suffered from asthma during his lifetime. Since April, his grandfather has started to take small gifts such as eggs, hand sanitizer, laundry detergent and other gifts at home, and said that these are benefits issued by a newly opened health store. At first, Mr. Feng didn't care, but since May, his grandfather went home to get health wine, saying that these wines were made of more than 100 Chinese medicines, which could cure diseases and strengthen the body. The original price of was only sold for 360 yuan in the store. If you listen to the class and receive a coupon, you can still get 100 yuan off.
That's it, my grandfather bought 20 bottles of medicinal wine in more than a week. However, these medicinal wines failed to cure grandfather's asthma. At the end of May, Mr. Feng's grandfather suddenly felt unwell and died after failed rescue.
After grandfather passed away, Mr. Feng saw the medicinal wine stored at home and felt that his grandfather must have encountered a pension fraud in a health store before his death. He was angry and chose to call the police, and hoped that such an unscrupulous health store would no longer harm the elderly. The arrest of the suspect caused the old man to be confused
After receiving the alarm from Mr. Feng, Zhangjiawan Police Station attached great importance to it and the criminal detective team immediately launched an investigation. The police found that the store attracted elderly people in the community to the store by free physical therapy experience and small gifts. "Experts" will start teaching at 7:30 in the morning to promote their products. After finding out the rules of the store and collecting relevant evidence, Zhangjiawan Police Station and the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Branch closed the website on July 12 and arrested the company's legal person Wang and the store manager Zou.
"Why arrest them?" At the arrest site, an old man expressed confusion about the police's actions. After several months of teaching, the elderly believe in the efficacy of the store's health products. also believes that can buy good products in the store at a "low price", and the store is doing good things that benefit the people.
"Is the store really giving benefits to elderly friends?" Li Dalu, the criminal detective chief of Zhangjiawan Police Station, said that the elderly in were actually blinded by the words of the merchants. After police investigation and identification by the district market supervision department, the goods sold in the store are ordinary foods, no health documents, not health products, nor medicines, and do not have any health care or therapeutic effects. The store exaggerates the product's efficacy through "experts" teaching and sells it at a price several times higher than the normal price. The amazing profits behind the "benefits"
Ms. Zou, a "health expert" who teaches the elderly every day, is 30 years old, from Jianli, Hubei, with a high school education. she told me that she had worked in shoe sales before and was hired as the store manager before the health store opened in April this year. Zou admitted that he had never been in medicine before and did not know how to maintain health. During the competition, his boss Wang took a fancy to his previous sales experience and his ability to speak calmly in public with a microphone. After taking up his post, Zou quickly got into the role by learning the words and PPTs provided by the company, and turned himself into a "health management expert."
Like Ms. Zou, , the 50-year-old company legal person, actually has no medical and health care background. Wang had previously sold water purifiers. In recent years, he saw that selling products from the elderly can easily make money, so he made up his mind to transform. At the end of 2021, Wang rented the storefront, and after several months of preparation, the health store was officially opened.
" Just listen to it for half an hour and you can get 8 eggs. If you introduce 3 people, you can get 16 eggs."Wang confessed that they took advantage of the mentality of some elderly people who like to be greedy for small prices to attract popularity, and through teaching and experience instruments, the elderly think that their products are "good and cheap". However, the company's ultimate goal is to sell physiotherapy instruments . According to the police investigation, the purchase price of physiotherapy instruments is only 2,800 yuan, but they sold them to the elderly at 4 times the price. Since the guide price is as high as 20,000 yuan, these elderly people do not think that the physiotherapy instruments are abnormally high at all, but they think they are very valuable.
In addition, the health store also plays "hunger marketing". Any kind of "health products" is only sold for a period of time, and no longer purchases after being sold, creating the illusion of "a shortage of good products" and "no chance to miss it", and through exaggerated publicity, the elderly rush to buy.
police officer mentioned
Be wary of all kinds of health care product sales activities under the name of free, do not believe or buy it; secondly, develop the correct habit of seeking medical treatment, do not believe in the so-called exaggerated publicity and magical effects of experts, and do not believe in the magical pills that can cure all diseases.
In addition, the care of children of is also very important for preventing health care product scams. If children can visit them frequently and communicate with their parents more, fraudsters will not have an opportunity to take advantage of them.
