These routines, please old friends shine an eye
What trick did cheater use after all, always succeed? According to zhengzhou police on the suspect's interrogation, there are a lot of tricks.
The gangs advertise the drugs' effectiveness through advertisements on new media and other platforms featuring explanations by so-called "experts" and the experiences of "cured people". once someone makes a call to buy the medicine, the salesman will use fixed talk to further exaggerate the curative effect of the medicine, win the trust of the elderly patient group through smooth talk, and then sell the so-called health care products or medicine at more than 10 times the purchase price.
These scammers receive professional training before taking up their posts. Fraud gangs in order to reflect their "professional", specially developed "words and tricks sheet", the content of a comprehensive salesman may encounter various problems when selling. From the prologue, consultation, guide products, analysis of the condition, the prospect of rehabilitation effect, to anxious to ask price, how to do without money, etc.. The purpose is to make use of the psychology of the sick old people, to defraud trust, deceiving them to buy medicine, from which profit.
According to a police officer dealing with related cases for a long time, for some health care products companies specializing in fraud, their sales routines are nothing more than the following: the first is to give free gifts, such as eggs, rice and other daily necessities. By distributing leaflets, or by using packaging boxes of health care products and bills for gifts and other means, the elderly are deceived. The second is to carry out lectures in the name of public welfare, attracting the elderly to attend lectures under the guise of public welfare, with the purpose of promoting products. The third is registration information and product effect, requiring the elderly to fill in some detailed information, and then they begin to exaggerate the efficacy of the product, constantly brainwashing the elderly. The fourth is the appearance and free travel, and the so-called tourism is only to organize the elderly to visit the tourist attractions, to visit the production workshop of health care products, and then start to promote the effect of health care products for the elderly, to induce the elderly to buy products.

"Health care products are a kind of food, and there is no legal definition of 'health care products' in China's food safety laws and regulations. However, some ordinary people will collectively refer to health care products as health care products.
