银行大厅里，金光闪闪的立牌炫耀着"存50万送10克黄金"的诱人宣传，折算价值高达7800元，看似比普通存款多赚0.5%的收益。然而，这看似唾手可得的财 富背后，却隐藏着层层陷阱，将储户一步步引向"福利缩水术"的深渊。 "羊毛"陷阱：银行存款"福利"的真相 "存款送福利"的本质，不过是利率的变形魔术。某城商行员工计算过，送客户一台标价300元的豆浆机，实际采购成本仅80元，但银行会将存款利率从2.05% 压低到1.65%。储户存10万元一年，少拿的400元利息远超礼品成本，银行净赚3920元。 中小银行在这方面更是"算盘打得响"，某村镇银行三年期定存利率标价3%，却要求每月日均存款达标才能送积分，取钱超过两次则直接取消资格。 最终，羊毛的成本由谁承担？柜员或许是最大的"冤大头"。某农商行大堂经理透露，支行每月摊派200万元存款任务，完不成任务就要扣奖金，有的同事月 薪只有3000元，却要自掏400元购买水果赠送给客户。 银行还会精准筛选"易忽悠群体"：老年人存5万送"健康秤"，实则诱导购买保险；年轻人则被"存款送盲盒"的噱头吸引，结果却只是"谢谢惠顾"。 王阿姨便是受害者之一。她提前取款，本以为能顺利拿到之前存 ...
