According to the WeChat official account of "Beijing Market Supervision", as the March 8th Women's Day is approaching, businesses have launched a variety of promotional activities. The Beijing Market Supervision Bureau reminds consumers to be alert to some consumption traps while enjoying shopping pleasure. The Beijing Market Supervision Bureau has listed some real cases to remind consumers to learn from them. Be wary of beauty traps. Ms. Li saw the "Rejuvenating Skincare Package" launched during the March 8th Festival at a beauty salon, which advertised the use of imported high-end skincare products. One treatment can make the skin ten years younger. Ms. Li was deeply moved and spent thousands of yuan to purchase the treatment course. But after using it a few times, the skin not only did not improve, but also showed symptoms of allergic redness and swelling. After investigation, it was found that the skincare products used in the beauty salon are mostly three no products, and the so-called imported high-end products are just false advertising. Market regulatory authorities remind that when choosing beauty and skincare products and services, it is necessary to check the qualifications of the merchant and relevant proof documents of the product. Do not believe in exaggerated advertising that exaggerates its effectiveness. Try to choose reputable shopping malls, counters, or brands with good reputations. If discomfort occurs after use, stop using immediately and file a complaint with the market supervision department if necessary. Be wary of price traps. Ms. Li saw a certain brand of women's clothing online store offering a tempting "limited time 30% off" promotion during last year's March 8th Festival. She happily picked out several clothes she liked and didn't hesitate to place an order for payment. But later she accidentally discovered that the prices of these clothes had quietly increased a few days before the event, and in reality, they were not much cheaper. This behavior of the merchants is a typical example of "rising first and then falling" false discounts. Market regulatory authorities remind us to maintain a clear mind when facing promotional activities such as discounts, discounts, and giveaways launched by merchants. Carefully study the activity rules and pay attention to whether there are false discounts of "raising prices first and then lowering prices" to avoid impulsive consumption due to the desire for cheap prices. Be wary of prepaid traps. Ms. Zhao applied for a prepaid membership card with special discounts on March 8th at a gym and recharged thousands of yuan. But a few months later, the gym suddenly closed down, Ms. Zhao's membership card could not be used, and the prepaid fees were also in vain. Market regulatory authorities remind that for prepaid consumption, it is important to carefully choose merchants and understand their business conditions and reputation. Try to choose merchants with larger scale, longer operating time, and good reputation. When recharging, do not recharge too much at once. Sign a written contract to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, including usage period, refund conditions, etc. If a merchant experiences abnormal business operations, timely measures should be taken. The Beijing Market Supervision Bureau reminds that if there is a consumer dispute or infringement of legitimate rights and interests during the consumption process, it should be resolved through timely negotiation with the merchant. If the negotiation fails, you can call the 12315 complaint hotline, or you can use the national 12315 platform portal website APP、 Submit complaints and reports through WeChat official account and other channels to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law.
