Beware of suspicious phone calls such as "taxes are unpaid" ！ ！.

Today, in Midori Ward, we received a caller claiming to be
a call center employee
commissioned by the IRS, saying that
customs duty on a purchase has not been paid
if you have no idea, we will connect you to the police to file a damage report
and other such unsolicited calls.

We have received information about a phone call that is a sign of a scam, in which the caller tries to make the caller feel uneasy and asks for money. Do not immediately trust the caller about a bill you do not remember, but consult your family or the police.

To avoid becoming a victim,
set your home landline to voicemail
set your cell phone to block calls to numbers other than those registered or blocked
and take other measures to avoid talking to the perpetrator ！ ！
