Chiba City ： Beware of Fictitious Billing Scams ！.

This is a notification from Chiba Chuo Police Station.
We have recently become aware of a number of "fictitious charge fraud" e-mails. This scam is a scam that sends a message to your PC or smartphone saying, "There is an unpaid fee for a pay site. If you don't pay it today, we will take you to court." or "Your computer is infected with a virus. It will cost you money to get rid of it. They will then send an e-mail with a link to a URL attached to the e-mail.
The user is then asked to purchase an e-money card at a convenience store or other store and provide the number on the card. （ This will now be used by the criminals. ）
Compared to other methods, the initial amount demanded by this method is small (several tens of thousands of yen), but once you accept the demand, you are asked for cash and other items one after another, and in many cases, the final damage is several million or tens of millions of yen.
If you receive an e-mail demanding "electronic money" under the guise of "unpaid charges" or "virus infection," it is a scam and you should never accept it.
