The Ichihara Police Department informs you.
There is a fraudulent technique called "theatrical fraud" in which more than one person appears.
Be aware that the perpetrator will call you under the name of a real bank or police station.
For example, they will call you on your cell phone or landline.
"This is XXX Bank, your account has been used for criminal activity."
"Please talk to the police who will call you later."
and after a while
"This is XX Prefectural Police. Your account has been used for a crime and we are investigating."
"We are investigating you as the criminal."
"Do not tell anyone about this,"
"Do not tell anyone about this,"
and after requesting confidentiality,
"To protect your assets" and "to investigate your account,"
they ask you to transfer money to them.
To prove they are police, the perpetrator leads you to a video call on a social networking site, where they present a fake police ID and deceive you.
The police will never contact you via video call.
If you receive such an invitation, it is a scam and you should report it to the police.
Criminals will target your assets in a variety of ways.
If you hear someone asking for money over the phone or on a social networking site, suspect it is a scam and contact the police.
Please take measures to avoid talking directly to the scammer by using the answering machine function on your home landline or setting your home phone to reject blocked calls.
