Phone deception tactics

In a phone deception scheme, a phone deception perpetrator pretending to be a police officer told me
"Your name has been mentioned as an accomplice in a fraud case."
"In order to avoid arrest, we need to investigate your deposit. Please transfer the money to the account specified."
A scam in which you receive a phone call stating that the caller is
a savings scammer. And from the perpetrator
"Due to confidentiality, you must not tell anyone."
"When you transfer the money at the counter, if they ask why, explain that it is for renovation and show them the estimate you are about to send."
They instruct the victim and send images, etc. using SNS such as LINE to further convince and lead the victim to believe them.

If the caller says key words such as
"I am involved in a crime," "transfer the money to my account," "don't tell anyone,"
etc.,
"I suspect fraud first,"
and
"I will check with my family."
One word can stop the damage.

If you receive such a call, hang up and always consult the police or your family.
Also, the best way to prevent damage is to not answer the phone when the perpetrator calls.
Use answering machine settings and call recording to prevent phone deception.
