(Reporter Bin Yang) This morning, China Consumers Association issued a "May 1" consumption reminder to remind consumers that this year’s "May 1" holiday is one day longer than before, so you should confirm your itinerary in advance; Shopping consumption, should distinguish between buying and giving. In addition, for mainland consumers who travel to Macao with the group, China Consumers Association and Macao Consumer Council specially reminded that "lottery gold" is not pure gold jewelry; Beware of the "zero-fee shopping group" under the guise of cultural exchange.
Mr. and Mrs. Ding complained to the Macao Consumer Council that they went to Australia to perform and communicate with the organizing committee of the so-called "Cultural and Art Exchange Center for Middle-aged and Old People". As a result, they were arranged by the local escort to go shopping all day, stayed in the gold shop for several hours, and finally bought the "Italian color gold ornaments" that could be repurchased under the sweet words of the shop assistant. The gold shop provided a similar copy of the invoice.
After returning home, Mr. Ding Lao went to the "mainland branch" of that store as soon as possible to return the lottery gold ornaments. As a result, not only did he fail to return the lottery gold ornaments, but he was also told that the lottery gold would not be repurchased at the market price, and the gold shop generally would not repurchase the lottery gold goods. Mr. Ding Lao’s rights and interests were damaged. However, because the gold content of this set of gold ornaments is indicated on the goods and documents, it is called 14 karat (k) jewelry according to the gold purity (content) standard of the goods, but it can’t be called pure gold jewelry. It is quite difficult to recover it with a shopping voucher.
In response to this complaint, China Consumers Association and the Macao Consumer Council specially reminded mainland consumers who travel with the group to Macao to beware that low-priced tour groups may be "shopping groups"; When traveling with a group, you should join a regular travel agency with an Outbound Tourism Business License and a Business License; Upon arrival in Macao, you should check as soon as possible whether the ground pick-up travel agency is arranged by the original tour group, whether the ground pick-up tour guide wears the tour guide’s work permit issued by the Tourism Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region, and pay attention to whether the hotel you are staying in is legally operated (you can check it on the website of the Tourism Bureau of the Macao Special Administrative Region).
