In tourism, especially in recent years, with the rapid development of tourism, there are more and more scams in tourism, such as "black-hearted tour guides" and "forced shopping". It really scares many tourists, and recently there has been a "jewelry scam".

Jewelry scam, if you think about it, you will know that few money will be cheated. So, let's take a look at Bian Xiao's jewelry scam!

Let's reveal the secret together!

In the process of traveling, tourists are taken to jewelry stores by tour guides and buy a lot of preferential jewelry. It never occurred to me that these are probably "fakes".

It was learned from China Consumers Association that the complaints accepted by the National Consumers Association in the first half of this year showed that the number of complaints related to jewelry increased by 4.7% year-on-year. Among them, jewelry sales were full of fakes, shoddy and false standards.

Bian Xiao reminded consumers that gold and jewelry are special and precious consumer goods, so it is difficult for ordinary consumers to tell the truth on the spot. Due to lack of evidence, it is often difficult for them to defend their rights. It is recommended to buy carefully.

Scenes and methods of exposing tourism fraud

1, see if you are traveling with a group. Similar complaints mainly occurred in group tours.

2. See if it is the last scenic spot. Generally speaking, the itinerary of these tour groups is very urgent. For example, on the last day or the last tourist spot, the tour guide will take tourists to some jewelry stores.

3. See if the salesperson has promoted "1 Yuan Jewelry". In these stores, salespeople will induce consumers to buy goods in various ways. For example, claiming that the store is a chain organization. At present, the tourism market is rectifying, and several stores need to be eliminated. I hope consumers can vote for it online.

To show their gratitude, they are willing to sell some products in the store to consumers at a low price of 1 yuan each.

4. Some merchants' logos are vague, and only "jade" or "gem" is marked, and the specific gem name is not marked as required; Some merchants sell artificial products or processed gems as natural gems;

Some merchants pass off low-grade gems as high-grade gems, such as zircon as diamonds and glass as jadeite, which seriously damages the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

5. They also taught the skills of distinguishing the true and false jewels on the spot. After the collapse of tourists' psychological defense line, they sell high-priced goods, ranging from several hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

"The original price of these promotional items is 10,000 yuan, or even several hundred thousand yuan. After the discount, it is only a few thousand yuan or even lower. Consumers think they find it cheap. Some people bought tens of thousands of yuan at a time, only to find these goods after returning home, which is different from the propaganda in the store. "

"Many of these stores can't provide formal invoices, only receipts. The merchant said that product information can be found online, but after consumers go home, they can't find these products at all compared with the website on the product introduction. "

What surprises consumers even more is that they can't contact these businesses when they get home, and some people who can contact them also deny that there is something wrong with the goods. This kind of scam is more common in the case of outbound travel.

6. The merchants in the scenic spot will kindly let you participate in the lucky draw, and you will definitely win the first prize or the second prize. Jewelry worth tens of thousands will be given away for free, and you can get jewelry by paying a "tax" ranging from several hundred yuan to one thousand yuan. After identification, the value of these jewels ranges from tens of yuan, which is seriously inconsistent with the price tag.

In this regard, the author reminds consumers that in the process of traveling with a group to other places, if you don't have professional knowledge, don't covet cheap to buy so-called preferential jewelry.

If you must buy it, ask for a formal invoice and related contact information after on-site inquiry to confirm the qualification of the business, so as to protect rights when there are problems in the later period. In addition, the Consumer Council also suggested that relevant institutions should strictly investigate such behaviors, and tourism service personnel should strengthen self-discipline and standardize professional ethics and behaviors.

Bian Xiao suggested not to buy these expensive items easily in the future. If you have to buy it, go to a very formal place. Since you want to buy it, don't be too cheap and easy to be deceived!
