Police in Chongqing Municipality have arrested 323 suspects for posing as medical experts to sell 鈥渉ealth products鈥 to the elderly and patients, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement yesterday.
Raiding 30 sites in more than 10 provinces and cities across the country, police have nabbed 16 criminal gangs. Over 10,000 cases involving over 10 million yuan (US$1.51 million) have been solved by the police.
According to the statement, the suspects would pose as experts at major hospitals after illegally obtaining the information of patients, whom they would contact to brag about their 鈥渕edicine with special effects.鈥
Once the suspects gained the trust of the patients, they would cajole their targets into buying their 鈥渉ealth products鈥 at a price of tens of thousands of yuan, the ministry said.
The police will continue to take stronger action against such fraud to protect people鈥檚 property, the statement said. It also urged the public to be aware of such fraud.
