The annual CCTV 315 Party is both a huge reality and just the tip of the iceberg. To be honest, there are too many consumer traps related to us ordinary people. I really hope that all consumer traps and consumer disputes can be displayed on the screen, so that we can increase our awareness of anti-fraud and be well-informed, so that we can reduce the possibility of being deceived and scammed.
The following is based on what I have seen and heard, and I would like to talk about which consumer traps I hope should be included in 315.
1. Local eggs with different identities
Everyone must have seen local eggs, but you know what’s fishy about them. As long as the free-range eggs are labeled as "healthy, healthy, pure, natural and high-quality", they have become a hot-selling product. When salespeople are selling, they like to use the color of egg yolks to promote their products. Ordinary eggs are light in color, while free-range eggs are dark in color.
But in fact, these chickens are just ordinary laying hens, and the reason why the yolks of his eggs are redder is actually the use of a feed additive called canthharidin.
The reason for this is actually that the price has doubled to 2 to 3 times compared to ordinary eggs.
2. Unethical Intelligent Harassment Calls
With the country stepping up efforts to crack down on harassing calls, why do we still receive all kinds of harassing calls? These calls are Who made the call?
It turns out that robots are being used to make harassing calls. The traditional manual outbound dialing method has been gradually phased out. As long as you purchase a 3,000 yuan outbound call robot from some technology companies, you can make harassing calls to countless individuals. A single phone can make more than 5,000 harassing calls. Do you know the consequences of this? Some criminals will use such smart phones to conduct fraud, pyramid schemes and other activities. The most hateful thing is that we receive such calls from different regions every day. And there’s nothing you can do about it!
I deeply hate this, mainly because I receive several of them every day. I strongly urge 315 to increase efforts to punish these people.
3. Card withdrawal is not allowed
What I am referring to here are some beauty salons and gyms. If service commitments are not guaranteed, operators often cannot fulfill the preferential services promised at that time, and the goods or services that should be provided are likely to be changed by the operators without authorization, resulting in a decline in the quality of goods or services. It is difficult to refund or transfer the card. This situation often exists in the fitness industry. After consumers apply for a card, if the operator's service quality is not as good as expected or they want to refund the card for other reasons, the operator will give various reasons and even refuse to refund the card on the grounds that "no refunds will be made."
4. Diapers that make people worry
This makes me the worst. Diapers are for children, but some unscrupulous businesses put unscrupulous cotton in diapers. Imagine if some children use such diapers, they will cause many diseases. You can't make a profit on your children no matter what you do! ! !
5. The "Beauty" Trap
Have you ever encountered such a situation when you go out on the street? Some beauty salons advertise outside to provide free skin care. When you fail to resist the deception and go in, you find that it is completely different from what they promised you before. Then little by little you will fall into a trap, and there will be thousands or tens of thousands of people trapped in this trap.
Most of the beauty agency merchants target young groups such as students in colleges and universities. They capture the psychology of young people who love beauty and lack face, and use free experience as a gimmick to attract people into the store. In the process of consumer experience, In, induce consumption.
6. Online Shopping Traps
Nowadays, we have become accustomed to buying vegetables and fruits on the Internet. Last year, I bought cantaloupe on a certain platform. The merchant said in the advertisement that it was much fresher and more tender. Juice, definitely fresh. As a result, everything that arrived in the mail was rotten. After communicating with the merchant, they directly told me that it was damaged and rotted on the road. I had nothing to do with him, and then I complained to the platform. Similar things happened several other times. There are often such unscrupulous merchants who sell out-of-season and soon-to-rot fruits at low prices, trapping consumers.
7. Worrying Foods
Nowadays, many unscrupulous businesses are crazy about putting various additives, preservatives and other chemical substances in food in order to occupy the taste and promote sales. . Some foods can cause premature maturation in children. Some artificially raised aquatic products and poultry are mostly fed with feed mixed with rapid growth agents. The residues of "maturation accelerators" are mainly concentrated in the glands of the head and neck of poultry. Therefore, Eating the necks of chickens, ducks, and geese is a high-risk behavior that promotes early maturation.
There are also some poisonous fried dough sticks, which are mixed with waste oil and other harmful substances. How can you not get sick if you eat them? In addition, snacks and food made by some illegal workshops without any hygiene license have entered the market. It’s scary to think about it.
The above are very common consumption traps and unscrupulous businesses in our daily lives. Only by thoroughly exposing them can we ordinary people spend less money and be cheated. Ordinary people must also improve their awareness of prevention and not be greedy for petty advantages, so as to prevent themselves from being deceived.
