Beware of Disaster Relief Donation Scams

This is the Kisarazu City Hall Community Coexistence Promotion Division.

[Beware of Malicious Incidents Conjugated with the Earthquake ！ ]

When the earthquake occurs, there is a risk of suspicious phone calls and SNS taking advantage of the situation.
In particular, we may receive information about suspected donation scams that attempt to defraud people out of their donations.
For donations where the recipient of the transaction is not transparent, suspect fraud and check the activities and use of the organization or other entity soliciting donations before making a donation, and only make a donation if you are satisfied with the donation.

Advice based on past scams
・ There is a possibility of scams using public organizations to cheat people out of cash or electronic money under the guise of soliciting donations.
・ Be aware of scams that pose as relatives of victims and ask for money transfer on the grounds of poverty.
・ It is unthinkable that a person will go door-to-door collecting donations in the name of a social welfare related organization.
・ Public institutions such as city halls will not call households to ask for donations.
If you receive a call, do not panic and check.
・ When transferring money to an account, check the name of the payee carefully.
