Occurrence of Telephone Deception Claiming to be a City Hall Employee

We are providing this information because the Matsudo Police Station has distributed an e-mail concerning a telephone deception scam.

Today, within the jurisdiction of the Matsudo Police Station, a person claiming to be a city hall employee sent the following message
"I have a refund, but the deadline for receiving it is today."
"Which bank are you using now?
"Your bank will contact you."
"The cash card you are using is old and no longer works, you need to replace it with a new one."
"Our staff will visit your home now."
A fraud case occurred in which a criminal pretending to be a bank employee visited a customer's home and swindled the customer out of his/her cash card.
If you hear about money or cash cards on the phone, it is a scam.
Do not make the decision alone, hang up the phone immediately and call the police.
