1. The knowledge level is relatively low. With the growth of age, the learning ability and the ability to accept new knowledge of the elderly will gradually decline, and many elderly people may not understand the new scam and are easily used by scammers.
2. Easily influenced by emotional factors. Old people are often lonely and easy to be used by swindlers, such as pretending to be relatives or friends, or using their loneliness to establish trust relationships.
3. Lack of risk awareness. Most elderly people have experienced social changes, and their cognition of social risks is vague. Many elderly people may not know enough about risks and are easy to be used by scammers.
4. Old people are often rich. Many elderly people have certain savings and property after retirement, and these people often become the targets of swindlers. Liars will use the wealth of the elderly to cheat and let the elderly take out the money.
Therefore, we need to call on the society and families to pay attention to the safety and protection of the elderly, strengthen their risk awareness, improve their ability to identify new scams, establish and improve the protection mechanism for the elderly, and reduce the situation of the elderly being cheated.
