Beware of Scam Using Fake Metropolitan Police Department Website ！.

A scam in which a criminal pretending to be a police officer calls your cell phone with a "blocked number" and directs you to a fake website of the Metropolitan Police Department to swindle you out of your money has been reported in the prefecture.
The M.O. is that the perpetrator will say, "There is a warrant for your arrest as an accomplice in a fraudulent scheme. You can check the arrest warrant on the Metropolitan Police Department's website. When the user enters his/her personal information on the page, a fake arrest warrant with his/her name on it is displayed.
They then asked for your account information, saying something like, "We need to check the money in your account to make sure you are not involved in the case." or something like that to get the account information or to get you to transfer money to the account, and then defraud you out of your money.

In order to avoid becoming a victim,
1. do not answer cell phone numbers that are blocked or unknown to you
2. if you receive a call saying that you are a victim of an incident, please consult the police immediately
