Beware of refund fraud!

Chiba Chuo Police Station informs.

Today, in the vicinity of Nitona-machi, Chuo-ku, Chiba City, there was a fraudulent caller claiming to be an employee of Chiba City Hall.
As for the content of the call, the caller lures you in by saying, "I have a refund for last year's medical expenses.
The call then develops into a scam in which the caller is led to an ATM at a bank or other financial institution, where the caller is asked to transfer the money in a skillful manner.
You will never receive a phone call from the city office telling you that you will receive a refund for your medical expenses.
If you receive such a suspicious phone call, do not make a decision alone, but consult your family and call 110 or the nearest police station.

The Chiba Prefectural Police have published and publicized an actual audio recording of a similar tactic, so please listen to it by linking to the URL below.
