Chiba City ： Beware of suspicious phone calls claiming to be from police officers ！.

We are currently receiving a suspicious phone call from a person claiming to be a police officer in Wakaba-ku, Chiba City.
The caller states
"This is the ●● police station. Your cell phone and bank book in your name have been used for a crime. Please tell us which bank you use."
The contents of the phone call are as follows.
After that, the criminal is expected to come to your home to collect your cash card for various reasons.
Please take measures against phone calls so that you do not talk directly to the criminals.

In the case of "Oleore Scam", in which criminals pose as relatives or police officers to cheat you out of money for accidents or other troubles, it is important not to talk directly with the criminal.
It is effective to take countermeasures against telephones by using the answering machine function, etc.
In the case of "fictitious billing fraud," a scam in which a scammer tells you that you have not paid for a certain website, etc., and then charges you a fee to defraud you of money, etc., it is important to ignore the bill if you do not remember it.
Do not contact the listed contact person.
For "support scams," in which fake security warnings are displayed while browsing the Internet to scam you out of money, closing your browser is an effective way of avoiding such scams.
Do not contact the contact information displayed on the fake warning screen.
