Recently, a 62-year-old Linda, who lives in the Sydney Chinese district of Hurstville, revealed that he had recently been caught in a hoax of fake doctors and that all his belongings had now been deceived.
It happened a few days ago when Linda came to Hurstville`s Coles supermarket before she was stopped by a middle-aged woman.
The woman, like her, is from Guangdong. She asked Linda if she knew of a Chinese medicine because her husband had a stroke, her daughter had a hematological illness, and her family were in urgent need of the Chinese medicine to save their lives.
See her face anxious look, Linda can not help, but the concern for her hometown or warm comfort to her a few words.
Just as the two men were talking, a mysterious woman wearing sunglasses stepped forward and claimed to know a centenarian who had cured many stroke and cancer patients free of charge.
In fact, Linda himself also suffers from chronic diseases, the body is relatively weak, has been looking for a reliable Chinese medicine for conditioning.
So, encouraged by the two passers-by, she promised to go with them.
But who knows, it just happened to let her into the fraud gang set up a trap.
The three men walked under an apartment building in Hurstville and a third woman appeared.
She claims to be the granddaughter of the old Chinese medicine, because it is not convenient for the elderly to go out to see a doctor, but she has obtained her grandfather`s true biography and is proficient in medicine.
Later, the granddaughter told them that Grandpa knew they were coming, even their families and health.
At this point, Linda felt that the doctor was so divine that he was not only skilled in medicine, but also expected to be as good as God. Look at her own Guangdong fellow-townsman is also a face of trust and worship, she is even more convinced.
For Linda`s frail condition, granddaughter says: it`s because you have a slacker in your body, but if you don`t get rid of it in three days, you`ll be paralyzed and your family will be hurt!
Hearing this, Linda was so scared that the granddaughter went on to say: to get rid of this situation, you just need to find 300 coppers and have a pastor over the age of 100 clean up and get rid of the disaster.
Seeing the panic on Linda`s face, the granddaughter said Grandpa happened to know a priest who could help. If there is no copper money, you can replace it with all the silver and gold in your home, wash it and spend it, and the disease can be eliminated.
At this time the Linda or some skepticism, so the woman wearing sunglasses hurriedly said, they are through this way to eliminate the disaster.
In addition, "granddaughter" has repeatedly stressed that Grandpa is never getting a penny from his illness, just hoping to repay the society, but also telling the Linda, not to give red envelopes when things are done.
The next thing, Linda recalls, he was like drinking "magic potion."
She first turned over two banks and withdrew all of her remaining A $6000 deposits. Then back home, take out the remaining 2000 yuan and all their gold and silver jewelry, put in a file bag, go back to see the doctor.
Linda handed the file bag to the Doctor. She put the bag in a black trash bag, grabbed Linda`s right hand and began her magic "caster" with words in her mouth.
After the spell has been cast, the Doctor returns the trash bag to Linda`s right hand and says that Linda`s personal belongings remain intact.
Before she left, the doctor also told her to go home, musing her name and walking home the way she came. You can`t touch your right and left hands in the middle of the way. You can`t open the bag for 100 days after you get home, and you can`t tell anyone. Otherwise, the just-in-the-act won`t work.
As a result, she really went home according to the requirements of the doctor, put the plastic bag, and marked the opening time of the bag on the calendar.
Talking to his family and neighbors, Linda was afraid to mention a word when he thought of the doctor.
But when she went to bed at night, she recalled the day`s experience and found it strange.
Unable to sleep over and over for a long time, she could not help but take out the plastic bag under the bed and stretch one hand into the file bag before she was looking for it.
But I didn`t touch anything.
She opened the plastic bag in a hurry and the whole person was blinded.
It turned out that the belongings he had put in had already been dropped, with only a few stones and a bottle of mineral water in the plastic bag.
Linda suddenly realized that he had already been caught in the trap when he was talking to his fellow townspeople.
The gang took advantage of her kindness, took away her personal information through the woman who accosted her, and performed a magic doctor`s play under the help of the sunglasses woman.
Unfortunately, by the time Linda reacted, it was too late, money had been deceived, and there was no way to recover.
Although she reported the case to the local police afterwards, the police did not pay attention to it.
Here, we would also like to remind our Chinese friends of the following:
Similar things are very likely to happen to the elderly, especially women who are thin.
On weekdays, you must be vigilant. All problems involving money should be taken with extra caution. It is best to discuss with your family in advance to avoid being deceived.
