What are superstitious ways to deceive the elderly?

One is to cheat on the grounds of looking at houses and 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".

The second is to 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.

The third is to 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.

The fourth is to cheat on the grounds of measurement and roll call. 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.

The fifth is to cheat on the grounds of "jumping god" 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.

Sixth, fake monks and Taoists 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.
