Attention, this is a scam!

On the grounds of safety hazards,

Targeting the elderly and charging high fees.

Stop gas without installing a gas leak alarm?

High fees charged to women on-site

On July 13th, Shaoxing Zhuji Natural Gas Co., Ltd. received a call from Aunt Wu from Lihu New Village, Jiyang Street, reporting that someone had requested users to install gas leakage alarms and charged high fees on site, citing the gas company's investigation of safety hazards.

After receiving the phone call, the company immediately arranged for staff to come to the site to understand the detailed situation and cooperate with the police officers at the police station to investigate and collect evidence.

It is reported that the social personnel took advantage of the weak vigilance of elderly people staying at home during noon, knocking on doors and selling products, and falsely claiming that if the alarm is not installed today, the gas will be shut down.

Under the influence of clever words and expressions, Aunt Wu finally paid 290 yuan to install the alarm, but later discovered that something was wrong and reported it to the police.

Through observation, it is not difficult to find that the installation position of the alarm is extremely non-standard and cannot function as a leakage alarm. And according to online shopping platforms, the price of this product is only over 20 yuan. When the staff tried to contact this person, the other person evaded and refused to come back for various reasons.

Natural gas is a flammable and explosive gas, and non-standard installation behavior may pose safety hazards to users.

Xi'an has also discovered that

Someone impersonated a natural gas inspector and came to visit

Someone was deceived because of this

Mr. Wang is over 70 years old this year and lives with his spouse in a residential area on Chang'an South Road in Xi'an City. On the afternoon of October 17, 2020, the elderly couple were resting at home when someone suddenly knocked on the door. "I opened the door and saw a young man, dressed in dark blue work clothes and claiming to be an employee of Qinhua Natural Gas Company, coming to inspect the natural gas pipeline normally. I was worried and even showed me his work permit, but I couldn't see it clearly." Mr. Wang said that after the inspection, the man claimed that there was a leak in the pipeline at home and needed to replace the pipeline and valve. In the end, he spent 600 yuan. After the young man left, Mr. Wang noticed that the other party had left pliers at home and called the customer service of Qinhua Natural Gas Company. After verification, he found out that the other party was not an employee of Qinhua Natural Gas Company.

Investment and financial fraud

Don't open the door! Expenses have already been incurred in multiple locations. July 13th | Elderly | Gas

"Warm hearted" scam

As elderly people enter their twilight years of life, they begin to fear loneliness and yearn for companionship. Fraud gangs seize the psychology of the elderly as a breakthrough point for obtaining illegal benefits. Scammers mainly gain the trust of middle-aged and elderly people through forms such as voluntary diagnosis and treatment, psychological care, live streaming companionship, charitable donations and volunteer services, and organizing cultural activities, and then commit criminal acts. Even worse, they fraudulently commit property fraud under the guise of "marriage and love".

Anti fraud tip: Elderly people should establish a sense of prevention and not trust what others say. More importantly, children should care more about the elderly, provide companionship, communicate more about their recent living conditions, and not give scammers the opportunity to play "emotional cards".

► ► ►

"Health product" fraud

The fraud of "health products" often targets the psychological desire of elderly people for health. In the early stage, various means are used to understand the needs and physical health status of the elderly, and small gifts such as rice, noodles, and eggs are given to accompany chat and relieve boredom to gain the trust of the elderly. After that, products are recommended, and the efficacy of "health products" is exaggerated under the guise of curing diseases and strengthening the body, and folk remedies have miraculous effects, which encourages the elderly to purchase health products and commit deception.

Anti fraud tip: When facing health product fraud, believe in science and not believe in the "miracle cure" claimed by fraudsters. When feeling unwell, it is important to seek medical treatment at a reputable hospital in a timely manner. Do not overly trust the efficacy of health products, let alone use them as a substitute for medication.

Fraud scheme of "paying pension"

Scammers falsely claim to know the personnel of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Social Security Bureau, and collect high amounts of "pension" from uninsured individuals. They falsely claim that they can assist uninsured individuals in providing agency services and can enjoy pension benefits by paying the social pension insurance premiums in a lump sum.

Anti fraud tip: In many cases, fraudsters often ask elderly people to conceal information from their families. It is recommended that elderly people pay more attention to policies and social news that are closely related to their own lives. Children should communicate and interact more with the elderly at home to understand their recent living conditions. If an elderly person is found to have been deceived, they should be patiently advised immediately, stop losses in a timely manner, and report to the police immediately.

► ► ►

Winning fraud

This type of fraud mainly occurs through mobile phone text messages, website lottery, and other means, using small profits to lure elderly people who firmly believe in winning to provide personal information, bank accounts, etc. according to the steps they have designed step by step, and ultimately fall for the scam.

Anti fraud reminder: No pies will fall from the sky, and there is no free lunch. Elderly people who receive such winning information should not trust it lightly. They should first discuss with their children or call 110 to consult the police.

► ► ►

Fraud of elderly care through housing

Usually, fraudsters use phrases like "houses are useless" as an excuse to induce elderly people to mortgage their properties to companies, which can earn high monthly returns without delaying their residence. In fact, scammers will directly mortgage the property of elderly people to professional lenders at high interest rates and hand over the right to dispose of the property. When the number of elderly people entering the game decreases, scammers will roll up money and run away, leaving the elderly with empty houses and even accumulating debts.

Anti fraud reminder: Elderly people should be vigilant about "high interest and zero risk" financial projects, especially when it comes to important investment and financial matters such as mortgage buying and selling. They should communicate more with their children and relatives or consult with the public security department.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
