Phone de fraud, social networking type investment ・ Romance scams are becoming more common ！ ！

This is a notice from Ichihara Police Station.
In Ichihara City,
・ A person claiming to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications or NTT will send you a short message about a bill
・ A person claiming to be a police officer will tell you that "your bank account or cell phone is being used for criminal activity" and try to cheat you out of money under the guise of investigation There have been a series of phone frauds, such as "Phone fraud", "Phone fraud", "Phone fraud", "Phone fraud", and "Phone fraud".
The best way to avoid becoming a victim of phone fraud is to avoid talking to the perpetrator directly. If you talk to the perpetrator, even if you think you know about telephone deception, you will be misled and deceived by the words of the perpetrator.
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, demanding cash in the form 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 SNS or Internet ads that ask you to join a LINE group ！ If you meet someone through SNS and have never met them before and they offer you money, suspect a fraud. Suspect a scam.
