"Security personnel" on-site service scam, please be vigilant

At noon the day before yesterday, Ms. Qian, a reader with a mobile phone ending in 920, called the hotline and told reporters that the scene just happened, "almost been deceived by thousands of dollars."

At more than 9 o'clock in the morning, Ms. Qian, who retired at home, was tidying the room at home as usual, and suddenly a knock on the door rang. Ms. Qian opened the door and saw three strangers. The person said politely: "We are from the city gas company. We come to the door to see if the gas valve in your house is safe." Ms. Qian once heard that it was a service person, and then looked at the three people wearing uniform uniforms. A uniform "security check card" was worn on his chest, and one of them also pulled out a "city gas company work permit" from his pocket. Ms. Qian let the three people in.

After entering the kitchen room, the three took out the tools they brought with them and "examined them very professionally." About a quarter of an hour later, someone called Ms. Zhang to the front and pointed to an instrument that "does not know what watch" said: "Auntie, look, there is some gas leakage in your home, but the valve is not very old. Maybe you have little energy and did not tighten it. "Ms. Qian thought, what others said made sense. At this time, the stranger spoke again: "Auntie, look at whether you installed a gas alarm to prevent accidents." Ms. Qian was moved.

The stranger took out the "gas alarm" from the tool bag and introduced to Ms. Qian: "Your senior citizens should be especially careful about safety at home. You see that this product was recommended to the public by our gas company after comparing many companies. This is a credit card with a three-year warranty. Auntie, we do n’t lie to you. "When asked how much money came, the person said:" 1200 yuan. We are a regular unit. If you do n’t believe you can call our unit. " He took out another invoice.

"This little alarm requires more than 1,000 pieces, which is really expensive. Comparable to safety, it is still cost-effective. Our old man moves slowly, and it will be troublesome if something goes wrong." Ms. Qian took the money from the room When he came, his wife happened to be shopping.

"After listening to the whole story, my wife felt that things were too expensive. He had a serious eye and told them to make a phone call to the acquaintances of his gas company." When the person heard this, he immediately said that he could get a discount. "When they said that, I also felt that there were some problems, and they said they wouldn't buy it. But their attitude changed immediately, and it wasn't polite to speak. I immediately ran into the corridor and said they would shout. They were so reluctant gone."

Afterwards, Ms. Qian and her wife called an acquaintance who worked at a gas station and got the answer: "There are more scammers now, and they deceive the elderly who are alone at home during the day. In the name of security check, they lie to you to buy an alarm. , Or change the gas meter, and then charge a service fee, a deposit, or even buy and sell ... "

Here, the reporter reminds the public, especially the elderly, to be vigilant in similar situations and not to open the door easily.
