Scam Calls Attempting to Impersonate a Police Officer

We are providing this information in response to an e-mail sent out by the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters regarding a scam.

Recently, there has been a nationwide scam in which people call claiming to be police officers, saying that they suspect you are involved in a scam, and lead you to social networking calls or video calls, showing police identification cards or arrest warrants, and scamming you out of cash under various names.
The police will never contact you using the social networking call feature.
Also, we will never use video calls to show police identification cards or arrest warrants.
Please note that there have been similar incidents in Chiba Prefecture using the LINE video call function, so please be very careful.

[Crime Prevention Measures]
The number one measure to avoid becoming a victim is "not to answer calls from criminals" ！
Do not answer calls from blocked numbers or unknown numbers, and take measures to avoid talking to criminals.
