Outbreak of Telephone Deception Scam Damage

We are providing this information because the Matsudo Police Station has sent out an e-mail concerning a phone deception.

Since the end of last week, there have been a number of phone calls in the Matsudo Police Station area that foreshadowed a phone deception, resulting in several cases of damage. The most common methods were:
\1)
"I have a refund, but the deadline for receiving it is today"
"Now you can get a special ATM procedure"
and other refund scams
\2)
"Your account is being used to commit a crime."
"Your cash card needs to be replaced."
"Your account is being used to commit a crime" "Your cash card needs to be replaced"
This is a savings fraud technique.
If you get a phone call and money or a cash card is mentioned, it is a scam.
Hang up immediately and call the police.
Also, if you see someone operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone, please suspect that they are a victim of fraud, call them to prevent damage and call the police.

[To prevent damage]
To stop suspicious or unwanted calls, it is very effective to use the unwanted call prevention function.
Matsudo City introduces the installation of repelling devices, so please contact us.

In addition, Chiba Prefectural Police publishes the voice of an actual "phone de fraud" call on their website. Please be aware of the methods used by the criminals and take measures to avoid becoming a victim.
