In the fraud cases based on feudal superstition, swindlers often cheat money on the pretext of "fortune telling, fortune telling, seeing Feng Shui and seeing a doctor to eliminate disasters", and the victims are mostly middle-aged and elderly people who are retired at home and their children are away. There are mainly the following types of such cases:

First, cheat on the grounds of seeing the house and the cemetery feng shui. This kind of fraud deceives the masses in the name of "looking at houses, homesteads and cemetery feng shui". Liars catch families that have changed at home by chatting or spending money to buy them, then go to the village to be "feng shui masters", use what they have learned before to defraud each other's trust, and then cheat money on the grounds that feng shui is "bad".

Second, cheat on the grounds of measuring eight characters to see marriage. Some families living in rural or suburban areas are used to looking for fortune tellers to test the eight characters and discord before their children find their other half, especially after something unusual happens in their love. Liars use some "summation" methods to cheat money.

Third, cheat on the grounds of knowing each other's fortune. Some people use the guise of "Zhouyi" and "physiognomy" to show people's faces and gestures to gain fame and fortune, and cheat a small amount of money by virtue of their own golden mouth and jade words. In this kind of cases, because they cheated less money, most of the parties were elated by fortune tellers, and some tangled psychological problems were alleviated. Cheated money is not fraud.

Fourth, cheat on the grounds of name measurement and title. Some swindlers openly run so-called "publicity" and cheat under the guise of law. In order to increase the content of "science and technology", some people also choose their names by inputting their date of birth, gender, etc. Take the name as the influencing factor of the ups and downs of life fortune, make a big fuss and cheat money from it.

5. Deception on the grounds of "jumping to the gods" to treat diseases. Liars use "partial methods", "indigenous methods" or imitate "witch gods" to treat patients by "jumping out of their minds" and "borrowing souls" to make money from them.

6. Fake monks and Taoist priests cheat on the grounds of eliminating disasters and praying for blessings. Some people pretend to be monks or Taoist nuns, begging in the street or at home, and cheating in the name of praying for disaster relief.

To prevent this from happening, we should do the following four things:

First, get rid of feudal superstitions, believe in scientific truth, and don't believe in "imperial doctors" and "superior people." If you are ill, you should go to the hospital in time.

Second, you must be vigilant when you meet strangers who come to chat up, especially strangers who are unprovoked or enthusiastic. Don't tell others about your family easily, let alone believe other people's stories.

Third, you should discuss with your family and explain the reasons before withdrawing huge sums of money or transferring money. You'd better not make your own decisions. Or crush your feverish mind and think quietly about whether there is anything wrong with it.

Fourth, if you find that you have been cheated, you should call the police in time and provide the police with the details of the liar's appearance, height, accent and clothing. And cooperate with the police to solve the case in time.
