Alerting Customers to Telephone Deception

This is an announcement from the Ichihara Police Department.
Today, in Kikuma, Ichihara City, a caller pretending to be from the City Hall has received a phone call
saying, "I will transfer the refund money to your account"
.
The perpetrator then attempts to direct the caller to an ATM to transfer the money. City Hall staff will not direct you to an ATM and you will not be able to get your refund at the ATM.
Also, if you see someone operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone, please notify a staff member at your local financial institution. Please take measures to avoid talking directly to the perpetrator of the scam by using the answering machine function on your home landline phone or setting your phone to reject blocked calls.
If you receive a suspicious call, please report it to the Ichihara Police Station.
