In recent years, telecom fraud has become the most harmful means of fraud to citizens' property, and many middle-aged and elderly people have been cheated. Such scams are common, such as bank cards suspected of money laundering, drug trafficking by postal parcels, and money transfer by impersonating relatives and friends. Ask for the identity information, bank card number and how much money they have saved by calling the old man's mobile phone or landline phone, and then lure the old man into the trap step by step through intimidation, deception and other means, and finally achieve the purpose of cheating money.

1. The elderly are unfamiliar with the routine of dating fraud and have poor awareness of prevention and discrimination. Especially single elderly people, emotional and psychological defense is weak. Once they meet someone they can talk to, they can easily trust each other and be cheated of their money. Like Ni Laohan of Yancheng, in order to make a lot of money, he trusted each other like being brainwashed and was cheated miserably. Old people, especially single people, should be careful in making friends and beware of others. Especially those middle-aged and elderly people who have a certain economic foundation, but have suffered emotional setbacks, should be more cautious when making friends, and don't easily believe the love expressed by others because their emotional experience is not smooth. Don't be credulous, don't lend money to new friends, and discuss things with your family.

2. criminals seize the psychological needs of the elderly to pay attention to health care, and defraud money through health lectures and sales of health care products. The elderly should pay more attention to the scams exposed by the media, don't believe in the sales promotion of "experts" and "authorities", and don't believe in health care products that can cure all diseases. Be sure to go to a regular hospital for treatment. Criminals seize the weakness of the elderly who are slow to update their knowledge and do not know much about financial products, and use high interest rates as bait to defraud money. There will be no pie in the sky. Don't trust others, give the liar an opportunity. Before investing, communicate with children, family members or professionals to raise awareness of prevention.

3. The common fault of old friends is the gradual decline of physical function, nostalgia and unwillingness to live; Old people have no busy jobs. Although they are usually at leisure, their children are busy making a living and most of them are lonely. The development of this society changes with each passing day. It is difficult for the elderly to keep up with the pace of social development, and they are seriously out of touch with society. Therefore, information and knowledge are not equal, which leads to common social problems of mental health of the elderly.

Most old people are lonely and feel that life is boring and monotonous. They may not see their children several times a year, and there are few happy days. At this time, a salesman, even a liar, will be a comfort to the elderly, because they are too lack of care.
