Scam Precursor Calls Attempting to Impersonate Police Officers Occur in the Town of Daiganji

Today, at approximately 2:00 p.m., I received a fraudulent precursor call from a person claiming to be a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department in the town of Daiganji.
A recent telltale call from a police officer stated, "A cash card in your name was found in the confiscated belongings of an arrested criminal. Please call the Ishikawa Prefectural Police."
Then, a false call was made. You are then given a false Ishikawa Prefectural Police phone number and asked to transfer money in your account to XX Bank because they need to examine the contents of your account. If you are not arrested for possible involvement in a crime, please deposit the money." You may be a victim of telephone deception, in which the caller asks you to transfer money or steals your personal information with phrases such as, "I am a criminal and I want you to transfer money into my account.
You may receive similar calls in the future in various locations.
To avoid becoming a victim, do not take it easy, hang up the phone immediately, and call 110 or the nearest police station or police box.
The Chiba Prefectural Police Department has released an audio recording of an actual scam. Please listen to the link at the URL below
