00:13At the government clinic in Wanau, Selangor
00:15Clinic Sehatan has scammers who specifically target those...
00:20The kind of elder who walks alone
00:22Using free repairs as a reason
00:25Stealing the gold ring from an elderly person
00:27Wanau State Assemblyman Chua Wai Kit told the New South Wales Daily
00:30Last Thursday
00:31Mr. Huang, 87 years old, was waiting for treatment at the clinic.
00:35He was targeted by a 40-year-old Chinese man
00:38The other party took the initiative to chat with the elderly person first.
00:42Get closer
00:43After gaining the elderly person's trust, they then set up a further trap.
00:47According to Mr. Huang's granddaughter's description
00:49At that time, the man took the initiative to step forward and chat warmly with the elderly woman.
00:53He also claimed to be a master of all trades.
00:56After the two chatted for about half an hour
00:58The other person suddenly mentioned the gold ring on the old man's hand.
01:01It looks somewhat damaged.
01:02It easily falls off the fingers
01:04It might even be lost without their knowledge.
01:07Then he kindly offered to
01:10He can help with repairs for free.
01:13The man also claimed that all the repair tools were kept in the car.
01:16You can take it to be repaired and then return it to the elderly person.
01:18To make the elderly believe in themselves
01:20He even took out a gold necklace and pendant.
01:23Put it in a small bag and give it to the elderly person for safekeeping.
01:25To create the illusion of leaving behind more valuable possessions.
01:28Using it as collateral to create the illusion that one cannot escape
01:32Seeing how sincere the other party was
01:35The old man then lowered his guard.
01:37She handed the gold ring to the man.
01:39And then, once it's handed over...
01:41The other person never came back.
01:43The old man waited patiently for half an hour.
01:45The man could not be found anywhere.
01:47Only then did I realize I had been scammed.
01:49And what's even more baffling is...
01:50The so-called gold necklace that the man left behind...
01:54Pendant
01:54What happened after the inspection?
01:56Confirmed to be counterfeit
01:58Cai Weijie said
01:59That old man that morning...
02:01His grandson took him to the clinic.
02:03Then the grandson was rushing to work
02:05Then leave first.
02:06Then they arranged for the granddaughter to pick up the elderly man and take him home.
02:09Then, just as the grandson left...
02:11What about the period before my granddaughter arrives?
02:14The elderly man was alone.
02:16This gave the scammer an opportunity.
02:18What about this PKR MP?
02:20Also mentioned
02:20One of the incidents occurred in the back consultation area outside the clinic.
02:23so what
02:24The old gentleman's seat at that time
02:26It is not within the filming range of the closed-circuit television.
02:29What if?
02:30To access closed-circuit television recordings from other angles
02:32You must first report the incident to the police.
02:34However
02:35The old gentleman considered his advanced age
02:37I don't want to go through the hassle of going to the police station again.
02:39Therefore, I chose to accept my bad luck.
02:42His family also respected his decision.
02:44No police investigation will be called for the time being.
02:45Instead, they chose to make the incident public.
02:47Other members of the public are reminded to be vigilant.
02:51Cai Weijie also reminded everyone
02:52Where is the scammer?
02:53They were just taking advantage of the fact that elderly people are easily trusting of strangers.
02:57This kind of mentality
02:59Start by initiating conversation to build rapport.
03:01Then use free services as bait
03:03Then they got the other party to hand over these valuables.
03:06He urged everyone to remind the elders in their families.
03:09No matter how friendly the stranger seemed
03:12Don't easily hand over your gold jewelry.
03:14Cell phone
03:15Wallet
03:16Other valuables
03:17What if a similar situation occurs?
03:18You should contact your family first to confirm.
03:20When necessary?
03:21Ask the security guards at the scene for help.
