Alerting Customers to Telephone Deception

This is an announcement from the Ichihara Police Station.
There have been a number of telephone deception victims in Chiba Prefecture, and it is expected that fraudulent phone calls will be made to target the pension funds that have been transferred to you. In Ichihara City, there have been many calls from phone companies claiming fictitious charges that they do not remember, as well as refund scams in which the callers deceive city hall employees and claim to refund medical expenses or insurance premiums.
Recently, there have been an increasing number of reports of scam calls being made to cell phones instead of home landlines. Be especially aware that scam calls often come from ＋ （ plus international calls starting with ） or IP phones starting with 050.
Obon is a time of year when we have more contact with our elderly relatives as they return home. Please take this opportunity to talk with your family members to avoid becoming a victim of fraud, and take measures to avoid talking directly to the perpetrator, such as setting your landline or cell phone to go to voicemail.
If you receive a suspicious phone call, do not panic and make a decision on your own, but consult the police or a family member.
