[Beware of telephone deception on pension payment day]
Today, December 15, is the pension payment day.
Around the Pension Payment Day, the Matsudo Police Station is stepping up ATM alerts as there tends to be an increase in calls from "refund fraud" scammers pretending to be city hall employees.
Please be very careful about telephone deception, as it is a typical technique of telephone deception.
Do not trust any talk of money, cash cards, etc., hang up the phone immediately and call the police.

[Refund Fraud Prevented by Callers]
There have been a number of refund frauds in which a caller claims to be from a public institution such as a city hall and says, "I have a refund for medical expenses," and asks to use an ATM at a financial institution or convenience store to cheat the customer out of money.

Criminals instruct victims to operate ATMs with their cell phones.
・ If you see a person operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone
・ or operating an ATM in a hurry
, please "talk to" the person proactively and call the police. and report it to the police.

In addition, the Chiba Prefectural Police Department has published the voice of an actual "phone de scam" call on its website. Please be aware of the tactics used by the criminals and take measures to avoid becoming a victim.
