Shanghai police cracked the first "free medical beauty" scam, involving more than 30 million yuan. How to protect the rights and interests of consumers?
The Consumer Protection Law can protect the rights and interests of consumers. Merchants are selling any services. If there is any illegal act, you can report it to the relevant departments. Every consumer has the right to accept social supervision. When he finds himself cheated, he has the right to remind others without worrying about the threat from the merchants. Any company needs to apply for a business license before operating, and the goods and services it sells must also be registered.

Details of this case.

In this case, the swindler really started a company and made a lot of advertisements in the early stage, so as not to waste the beauty project as bait to attract customers to the store and promote the membership card when doing beauty for the other party. Claiming to buy a membership card can not only continue to experience beauty services, but also get a rebate every month in the future, which is equivalent to not spending a penny.

Because the membership card needs1.20 thousand yuan, customers are lured to lend without so much money. When the rebate comes next month, the customer only gets 900 yuan, which is far from the said 10,000 yuan, and then he knows that he has been cheated. The local police received many similar reports. After further investigation by the police, six suspects were finally arrested. In fact, this scam is a typical illegal fundraising.

What do I think of this matter?

Some people always think that there will be pies in the sky, and they want to touch them when they see cheap ones. Actually, where can I get a free lunch? Even parents can't expect anything in return. So let's have a long snack. Being cheated this time is a lesson.

What other similar scams are there?

Someone in Shanghai reported an illegal fund-raising scam of 1500 yuan. The victim was a couple. The swindler gained trust in three years and started a company. Then he donated scholarships to the school where the victim was located in the name of salary, and held several competitions in the school. The relationship between the couple and the swindler gradually became familiar, and the swindler began to induce the other party to invest in the project, but at first he didn't believe it. Later, I invested 200,000 yuan, and the next month it really reached 20,000 yuan. After that, I continued to invest money in it, and I didn't know I was cheated until I ran out of money.
