1. We must eliminate feudal superstition, believe in scientific truth, and do not believe in "miracle doctors" or "masters". If you are sick, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
2. When you encounter strangers who come to strike up a conversation, especially strangers who are courteous or enthusiastic for no reason, you must be wary. Do not tell others about your home situation easily, and do not easily believe other people's nonsense. .
3. Before withdrawing large amounts of money or transferring money, you should discuss it with your family and explain the reasons. It is best not to make your own decisions. Or suppress your heated mind and think about it carefully to see if there is anything wrong with it.
4. If you find that you have been deceived, you should call the police immediately and provide the police with the appearance, height, accent, clothing and other detailed characteristics of the deceiver, and cooperate with the police to solve the case in a timely manner.
