Lunar New Year holiday is around the corner and scam groups are lurking in the dark, ready to pull their scamming tricks. “Uncle! We have talked for so long and still you don’t know who I am?” “Grandma, trust me! This investment is a guaranteed cash cow.” One phone call from a scammer pretending to be the elderly’s close one or one scamming message can possibly turn their red envelopes or even life savings into year-end bonus for scam groups! China Life is well aware the evolving scamming tricks and understands that it is hard for the elderly to keep up. Therefore, the best anti-scam approach is to build up awareness in everyday life. Besides an educational area that provides financial and anti-scam info for the elderly on the official website, China Life has set up volunteering groups and worked with local organizations to hold more than 10 anti-scam workshops. Through easy-to-understand and fun course design, China Life has helped hundreds of people living in remote areas and in indigenous tribes, as well as underprivileged elderly who are left behind to understand more about scams and better protect themselves.
