A 90-year-old man in Guangzhou met a 5 1 year-old woman on a dating website and transferred 78,000 yuan, including bride price money, to the other party through online dating. It can be said that the old man suffered a pig-killing scam. In fact, such things are very common on the internet, which can be said to be very common. This is also because the elderly don't know much about the online world and are prone to some scams. Therefore, in order to prevent the elderly from being cheated, first of all, as children, we should tell the elderly more scams and let them see more new things. Children should also tell the elderly not to trust others easily, especially when it comes to money, and be vigilant. At the same time, children should care more about the elderly, know more about their psychological needs, communicate with them more, and talk to them more when they encounter things, which also helps to avoid the possibility of being cheated.

What are the scams that the elderly often encounter?

Among the scams that the elderly often encounter, there are health products. Many scammers will use health care products to cure all diseases and trick the elderly into saving money in the sales company. There are also some deceived old people who go to some places to support the elderly and defraud the old people of their money in the name of low price and prepaid card consumption. There are also some ways to defraud the elderly by providing for the elderly with houses. This method is generally a combination of conventional loans and illegal fund-raising. In addition, there are ways to make friends through marriage. Liars can master the information of the elderly through chatting. They are using a warm offensive to make the elderly spend money.

What should I do if I encounter a scam?

When you encounter a scam, you must be cautious if it involves money. It is best to let the other party issue some guarantees and keep relevant evidence. At the same time, don't trust unknown objects and some suspicious information, don't click on links because of some small favors, and don't make strange phone calls in information. Don't send money to each other if you don't know each other. Try not to disclose personal information, especially bank card information and ID card information. When you encounter financial fraud, you must call the police in time.

Finally, there are a lot of false information on the Internet, and many young people may be cheated, not to mention the elderly. Therefore, as children, we should also plan ahead and help the elderly to do more information screening to prevent being deceived.
