Beware of fictitious billing scams.

Chiba Chuo Police Station informs.

We are aware of a number of "fictitious billing scam" emails today.
This scam is a scam that sends a message to your computer or smartphone saying, "There is an unpaid charge. If you don't pay today, we will take you to court." or "Your computer is infected with a virus. It will cost you money to get rid of the virus. The person will then send an e-mail with a link to a URL attached to the e-mail.
You will then be asked to purchase an e-money card at a convenience store or other store and give the number on the card （ This will be used by the criminals. ） .
Compared to other methods, the initial amount demanded by this method is small (several tens of thousands of yen), but once you accept the demand, they demand cash and other items one after another, and in many cases, the final damage is several millions or tens of millions of yen.
If you receive a request for electronic money in the form of "unpaid charges" or "virus infection" by e-mail, it is a scam and you should never accept it.
