The Ichihara Police Station will inform you of the following.
December 13 （ Friday ） is Pension Payment Day.
Be especially careful around the pension payment date, as you tend to receive many phone calls from phone de scams.
The best way to avoid becoming a victim of telephone deception is not to talk directly to the perpetrator.
If you talk to the perpetrator, even if you think you know about telephone deception, you will be misled and deceived by their words.
If you are contacted by an unusual billing method, or if you do not remember the bill itself, do not contact them.
Also, if you see someone operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone, please inform the staff or clerk at your local financial institution.

In addition, as a new scam tactic,
・ after watching a video on your phone, you are led to a LINE and solicited to invest in crypto assets
・ you receive a direct message from someone claiming to be a celebrity's official account, requesting cash under the guise of donations
where a person claiming to be a celebrity's official account sends a direct message and asks for cash in exchange for a donation ・ Romance scams are also becoming more and more common.
It is very dangerous to send money to a personal account for investment purposes. ！
Be wary of advertisements on social networking sites and internet advertisements asking you to join a LINE group.
Suspect a scam if you meet someone through a social networking site and have never met them and they offer you money.
