CCTV reported that the seniors are tricked into spending money on lots of dubious healthcare products, including medicines, physical treatment machines and others kinds of devices.

Most of these products do not have registered numbers and certificates. Through various cheating schemes, the sales person tries to empty the seniors' pockets.

A senior woman surnamed Wang spent more than 400,000 yuan on such products, the report said.
