Chiba City ： Beware of Telephone Deception

This is an announcement from Chiba Chuo Police Station.

In the past few days, there have been a number of OLE-ore scam preliminary calls （ and apodenshi ） in the area around Chiba Station, including Shinmachi and Matsunami 4-chome in Chuo-ku, Chiba.
Calls were made by someone pretending to be a son or grandson, saying something like, "I'm going to be hospitalized for cancer." Other calls include those from people claiming to be your son or grandson.　
In addition,
・ someone pretending to be a police officer tells you that your credit card has been used fraudulently and takes your credit card [savings fraud]
・ someone pretending to be a city hall employee tells you that you have a tax refund and asks you to go through the procedures and directs you to an ATM to transfer money [tax refund fraud] someone pretending to be a police officer tells you that you have a tax refund and directs you to a police officer's house.
・ They will ask you to purchase an electronic money card at a convenience store under the guise of an unpaid fee for a website, etc. [fictitious billing fraud]
There are various types of fraudulent tactics.
To avoid becoming a victim of scams, it is important not to answer the phone directly. If you have a landline phone at home, set the answering machine function.
Also, if you receive such a suspicious call, do not make a decision on your own, but call 110 or the nearest police station.
