Chapter 229 Free Scam
"Free travel?"
Hearing what his parents said.
Chen Feng was slightly stunned.
I thought they were here to do business, but I didn't expect that they were here to travel.
You know, they have been living in the countryside and have never traveled.
But this is not surprising.
After all, the elderly like to take advantage of small bargains, and they are definitely unwilling to pay for travel.
But if it is a "free" travel, the nature is completely different.
There is a saying that is true: free sex makes me happy.
If you can get something for free, but you don't get it, it's even more uncomfortable than losing money.
Seeing Chen Feng's surprise, Chen Aiguo's face became more and more proud:
"Yes, I finally got it!"
"I heard that this opportunity is very rare, and it may not come once in more than ten years."
"And after we go to the site to report, they are willing to reimburse us for the round-trip fare, food, drink and accommodation. It's free of charge for the whole trip, without spending a penny."
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart.
Free travel
Although this possibility cannot be denied, the chance of winning the lottery is very small.
Even if he wins, it is given to an insider or the chosen one.
He does not think that his father is the chosen one at all.
Most importantly, he never believes that there will be pie in the sky in this world for no reason.
Even if it does, it is a trap.
Chen Feng then asked: "Where is the location of your trip this time?"
Chen Aiguo thought for a moment and replied: "It's near this city. I heard that there is a collection exhibition on site!"
"At this collection exhibition, there are collections from all over the country for us to visit."
"Well, your mother has never seen the market, so it's a good opportunity to bring her out to have a look."
Chen Feng's face became a little more serious:
"Dad, put the travel aside for now, tell me about this matter now, and what is this collection exhibition about?"
Chen Aiguo smiled:
"Well, I passed by a supermarket two days ago, and I happened to meet a salesman. He told me that as long as I lined up, I could get a box of free eggs."
"Hehe, who am I? I'm a smart person!"
"I'm not bragging, no one in this world has ever been able to deceive me!"
"And get free eggs?"
"After all, they are just using the guise of sending eggs to trick me into applying for their membership, so how could I fall for it?"
"..."
Chen Feng didn't speak.
I have to say that my father is not only smart, but also has a good sense of prevention.
This routine of giving away eggs for free is almost very common.
Although it is an old routine, there are still many people who fall for it.
Especially those old people who like to get a bargain.
They took a few eggs for free and thought they made a profit.
But what is the truth?
You made a fortune.
How much are a few eggs worth? But if the other party successfully tricks you into recharging your membership card, then they not only get their money back, but also earn a customer.
Let's take a step back.
Even if you don't apply for their membership card, you will become their advertisement.
For example, most of the elderly will go to other places after receiving eggs, saying that a certain supermarket can get eggs for free, and everyone should go and get them quickly.
At that time, one person will spread it to ten, ten to a hundred...
As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep.
Whether you apply for their membership card or not, they will not lose 100%.
"Then what?"
Chen Feng asked.
He was very curious about how this gift of eggs could give away a trip for no reason.
Chen Aiguo continued: "Then, I decided to line up to get the eggs."
"But don't worry, I was not tricked, because I had already made up my mind. No matter how they promoted it, I would never apply for their membership card!"
"But who knew that after I received the eggs, not only did they not sell me a membership card, but they also told me that I was their 101st customer and gave me an extra chance to draw a lottery."
"I thought it was free anyway, so I would draw a lottery. This time, I won their free trip. Hehe, do you think I am lucky?"
"..."
After listening to his father's story, Chen Feng almost guessed the general routine.
Although his father is very smart.
But unfortunately, the scammers nowadays are even smarter!
No, to be precise, these scammers have begun to evolve slowly in order to adapt to the times.
When his father was attracted by the free eggs, the routine had actually begun.
They seized the psychology of the elderly to get small bargains and gave them sweet treats again and again.
First they gave eggs, then they gave them the chance to draw a lottery, and then they drew a free trip.
They know very well that the elderly are very sensitive about money, so they never mentioned a penny during the whole process.
This can easily give people the illusion that they are here to give you benefits.
You should know that modern fraud methods for the elderly are no longer the previous version. With the improvement of experience, the scammers have actually upgraded to 2.0.
They specifically take advantage of the weak cognitive characteristics of the elderly, hype concepts, false propaganda, set traps, and the routines can be said to be one after another.
The depth of the routine is definitely beyond your imagination.
To be honest, compared with the current scammers, even if the women in the palace fighting drama come out and play routines with these scammers, they will probably be trapped.
Thinking of this.
Chen Feng immediately said: "Dad, Mom, in fact, these are all scammers' routines. Although this tour is free, the water is very deep and you can't grasp it at all."
"I advise you to quickly give up this idea."
"Because this trip itself is a large-scale scam."
There are countless people who have fallen into this kind of scam, and he doesn't want his parents to be deceived.
Chen Aiguo expressed disbelief:
"Large-scale scam? This is impossible? They didn't ask me for a penny throughout the whole process."
"And they are easy to talk to. I obviously won the prize alone, but I said I wanted to take my wife with me, and they also expressed their welcome, and they were willing to reimburse the expenses."
Hearing this,
Chen Feng spread his hands helplessly: "Of course they hope you bring people with you, and the more people you bring, the better, because their purpose itself is this collection exhibition."
"Collection exhibition?"
The couple's eyes shrank at the same time, obviously not understanding what Chen Feng meant.
Looking at the two people's puzzled expressions.
Chen Feng explained: "Didn't they also say that this collection exhibition is very rare and you may not encounter it once in your lifetime."
"And at that time, many collectors will come to the scene and sell their most proud collections to some predestined people, so that you can bring some money to pick up bargains?"
