Is the way merchants make money by "paper crabs" a fraud?

The way merchants make money by paper crabs has constituted fraud. I have also paid attention to this news recently, and I have answered other questions below. Interested friends can have a look. Then I will answer this question from the following aspects.

1. What is this news event?

Winter is the prime time to eat hairy crabs, because the hairy crabs at this time are delicious and tender. We often hear that Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs have the highest yield at this time. Recently, some media reported that many businesses are engaged in so-called voucher activities, that is, crab vouchers. These crab coupons are printed by the merchants themselves. It is said that these crab coupons can be used to make appropriate deductions when buying crabs. However, when netizens took these crab coupons to deduct, they found that the crab coupons they bought could not be used. Merchants tell them that these coupons have expired, or refuse consumers on the grounds that they cannot be used this year.

Second, about the forgery of paper crabs.

Many media have reported such fraud, because these so-called vouchers are printed by the merchants themselves. Merchants are cheating consumers in improper ways, which is a routine, because some merchants print their own vouchers and then recycle them at a certain price, so that even if the crabs are not sold, they have already made money.

Third, consumers should pay attention to fraud prevention and rights protection.

For this kind of fraudulent behavior of unscrupulous merchants, consumers must keep their eyes open to prevent fraud and not be tempted by so-called low prices and vouchers. We can imagine how a crab was bought at half price. Businessmen's routines emerge one after another. If you are cheated by a merchant, you must collect evidence, show your own evidence, complain to the relevant departments, and safeguard your legitimate rights and interests. At the same time, for businessmen, doing business pays attention to integrity. Such behavior is short-sighted and will be severely punished.
