Deception of Elderly People, "Famous Expert" of Health Club Punished
2023-05-23
Due to the poor sales performance of the health and wellness joint venture, three partners resorted to brainteasers: impersonating medical experts from Beijing to sell "healthcare projects" at high prices to elderly customers who came to the store, in order to make huge profits. Over the past two years, three people used this method to defraud dozens of elderly people, involving over 2.7 million yuan. In February this year, the Qingpu District Procuratorate of Shanghai prosecuted Li, Liu, and Song on suspicion of fraud. Recently, after trial, the court sentenced three defendants to imprisonment ranging from five years, six months to two years, and each of them was fined ranging from 100000 to 20000 yuan for fraud. Li has been engaged in the beauty and healthcare industry for many years due to business difficulties. After meeting Liu, the two hit it off and successively opened 10 beauty and healthcare stores in Qingpu District, Pudong New Area, Jing'an District, Xuhui District, and other areas of Shanghai. Later, the two of them expanded their business to Suzhou, Jiangsu Province and Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and opened a health and wellness center in each of the two cities. The two agreed that Li would provide a storefront, Liu would be responsible for sales and service, and would receive a 25% commission on the products sold. Shortly after their collaboration, Liu introduced Song to Li. Due to Song's sales talent and flexible thinking, Li quickly recruited him as a partner. During this period, Li, Liu, and Song mainly operated a health and wellness center located in Qingpu District, while the other stores hired managers to manage their operations. Since 2020, the sales performance of health and wellness centers has been poor, and three people have been using their brains. Liu proposed, "Our health and wellness center mainly receives customers from elderly people over the age of 60 or 70, who usually trust so-called experts and scholars the most. We might as well impersonate experts and promote 'healthcare projects' to them, which will definitely sell well." Both Li and Song expressed support for Liu's proposal and began to prepare. Li first arranged for the staff in the store to promote to frequent customers. They were about to invite an expert from a famous tertiary hospital in Beijing, who is a senior in the pharmaceutical industry and has also seen the central leadership. Many elderly people believe it and sign up for appointments for consultation. Subsequently, Li and three others memorized their physical illnesses by reviewing the health care projects that these people who made appointments often did in the store, as well as the relevant information they leaked during conversations with staff. On the day of expert consultation, Mr. Liu put on his white coat, stethoscope and glasses, and walked into the shop with a good look. Li greeted him with a horse in front of him, and the service staff in the store stood in two rows, bowing to Liu and saying hello. This battle intimidated the patients who came for consultation, and they believed deeply in Liu's expert identity. The first patient to make an appointment pretending to be a medical expert is Yuan, an octogenarian. During a massage session in the store, Yuan accidentally mentioned that he had some discomfort with his heart, which was secretly recorded by the staff. At this moment, Liu pretended to auscultate and check the pulse for the elderly, and then put on a very serious face and said, "Grandpa, your heart and lung function is very poor. If you don't treat it quickly, you will be in danger of your life." After hearing this, Yuan was very afraid and had already forgotten that this information was revealed by himself. Later, Liu claimed that the elderly also had kidney problems
