The State Administration for Market Regulation and the China Consumers' Association jointly release tips for preventing elderly people from falling victim to scams involving "healthcare products".

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the China Consumers Association jointly issued a warning for the prevention of "health care product" scams targeting elderly consumers, reminding elderly consumers to enhance their risk awareness and stay away from fraudulent schemes. With the continuous growth of the elderly population and the development of our country's economy and society, the desire of the elderly for a healthy and well-off retirement has driven the booming "health care" market. Some illegal operators hype up the concept of "health care products", using tactics such as low-price tours, free seminars, free eggs, and promises of curing all illnesses, to set traps and deceive elderly consumers through false or misleading advertising, harming the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly. When purchasing "health care products", elderly friends should pay attention to the following three aspects: understand the essence of "health care products" and consume scientifically and rationally; be vigilant against false marketing schemes and stay away from consumer fraud; enhance awareness of fraud prevention and improve self-protection capabilities.
