Why the "immortal medicine" doesn't work in Minhang, Shanghai: investigate and deal with a fraud case in which ordinary food and drink are disguised as health drugs
2023-03-14
Special car pickup, gift giving, health lectures with expert consultation, and well-known enterprises to ensure product quality... By using carefully packaged identity records and dazzling therapeutic promises, Mr. Shi and others disguised ordinary food and drink as health care drugs through false propaganda and packaging changes, and successively defrauded more than 3000 elderly victims of more than 44 million yuan. Recently, 10 defendants including Shi were sentenced in the fraud case filed by the Shanghai Minhang District Procuratorate. The 10 defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years, six months to three years, and each was fined. Arrange a special car to pick up and drop off "Uncle, we are the staff of the China Geriatric Health Association. We were recently giving a health lecture for your elderly friends near your home. We learned that your legs and feet are inconvenient. We arranged a special car to pick up and drop off, attend the lecture and give gifts." In February 2022, Uncle Liu agreed to the invitation of strangers with a try attitude after receiving the call. Arriving at the lecture site, Uncle Liu and his wife were instantly infected by the warm atmosphere in the auditorium. There are forty or fifty elderly people listening attentively. On the stage, the "vice president of the medical school" and "researcher of the scientific school" announced one "good news" after another. During the lecture, the on-site staff sometimes applauded and gave gifts to the audience. "Dear uncles and aunts, our medicine can not only purify the viscera, but also delay aging!" said a "vice president" on the stage, pouring the powder in his hand into a bottle of black water, and the water in the bottle became clear instantly. With the magical effect and lively atmosphere, Uncle Liu and his wife also joined the queue for payment. It took tens of thousands of yuan to buy a pile of bottles and cans after taking them for a long time. Uncle Liu and his wife took these health care drugs for a long time, but they still did not see the magic effect. When contacting the refund, the once warm and considerate "business manager" always prevaricates on the grounds of "the epidemic situation is difficult to control travel", "the capital turnover needs time", "take another time to see the effect" and so on. Uncle Liu called the police for help because he could not get the refund back. Aunt Wang also met the same situation. "I inquired about the industrial and commercial records of the manufacturer through the information on the medicine box, and after communicating with the manufacturer, they said that the outer packaging of these drugs my mother bought had been modified, and the product type was changed from solid drinks to traditional Chinese medicine products, and the cost of these drinks was less than 10 yuan!" Aunt Wang's daughter said that until she put the query results in front of her mother, Aunt Wang didn't know she was cheated. The "immortal medicine" bought by saving money turned out to be an unexpected "bad worry". At this time, Aunt Wang realized that the "Yunnan doctor" who had sold her medicine was a northern accent. After receiving the alarm, the Minhang police carefully planned and accurately deceived Shi and others with suspected fraud. After investigation, this is a fraud gang with a strict hierarchy and a clear division of labor. Shi and others have formed a criminal chain with a clear division of labor and close cooperation, including targeting the target group, impersonating doctors and experts, training and marketing skills, and handling after-sales matters. At the places where the elderly often participate in activities, such as communities and parks in Shanghai, they come forward to talk through giving gifts, free housekeeping and other reasons to obtain the basic information of the elderly, and
