China's Ministry of Civil Affairs warned of fraudulent elderly-care mobile apps operating under names such as "MinHuiTong". Scammers have forged documents and impersonated ministry staff, claiming to distribute senior subsidies or special welfare funds while demanding upfront insurance, deposits or activation fees, or using 'check-in' rewards, high rebates and referral commissions to induce deposits that later cannot be withdrawn. The ministry said it has never established or approved projects named "MinHuiTong" and has not launched any related products or apps. The public is urged to be vigilant and avoid unverified information.
