Three sisters in Yang Guo, Anhui Province pretended to be experts and defrauded the rural elderly. How to prevent the elderly from being cheated?

Three sisters in Yang Guo, Anhui Province, have been arrested and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for impersonating their masters and deceiving the elderly in rural areas.

Yang Guo's three sisters are Fang Cheng, Li Cheng and Cheng Hua. They are all in their fifties. Because of my low education, I didn't make any money working outside. Later, when I was old, I returned to the countryside to farm, and my family was always poor. By chance, Fang Cheng came into contact with a fraud organization. Under the "professor" of this fraud organization, Fang Cheng learned how to make money, and then told Li Cheng and Cheng Hua. In this way, the three began the road of deception.

Cheng Fangsan, the third sister, first went to the countryside to observe in the name of falsely buying "lucky money", "turtle shells" and "old mobile phones", and specially selected farmers with poor conditions and only the elderly, and talked with the elderly under the pretext of "running tired and borrowing a bowl of water to drink". After the old man relaxed his vigilance, he put forward that "the feng shui of the old man is not good, so the fortune at home is not prosperous". At this time, he has initially gained the trust of the old man and can be regarded as using deception. They usually ask the old people at home to take out a piece of paper, then cut it into a special shape with scissors, and then change it into their own prepared paper when the old people bring a bowl of water. As long as this special paper is put into the water, a pre-drawn "ghost" map will be displayed. As a result, the three sisters defrauded the old man of the money for exorcism.

After being arrested, the three sisters Cheng Fangsan confessed to their fraud. After that, the court sentenced Fang Cheng to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 month and fined RMB 4,000. Li Cheng was sentenced to 8 months in prison and fined 2000 yuan; Cheng Hua was detained for 3 months and fined 2000 yuan.

So, how can we prevent the rural elderly from being cheated?

First of all, as children, we should usually tell the elderly some cases of being cheated, so that they can have a certain understanding of these scams and take precautions against such incidents;

Secondly, as children, we should also pay more attention to the elderly. Nowadays, many swindlers just grab their children and don't take care of the elderly, playing the family card. Therefore, they should care more about the elderly in their spare time and let them get spiritual comfort;

Then, for the elderly, don't be greedy for petty advantages. In fact, many swindlers just take advantage of people's greed for petty gain. Therefore, it is necessary to remind the elderly at home at ordinary times not to covet petty advantages, which will bring irreparable losses to themselves;

Finally, warn the elderly at home that they must discuss things with their families. Some swindlers cheat in the street, some swindlers cheat by phone, and the elderly are easily fooled. So be sure to tell the old people that if they receive some strange calls, they must communicate with their children.
