Beware of refund fraud ！ ！

This is a notification from the Ichihara Police Department.
Today, in the Goi ・ Tatsumidai area of Ichihara City, a person pretended to be from the City Hall and asked, "I sent you a document in June, did you receive it? and "You can go to an ATM to get your refund."
In the Tatsumidai area, there have been phone calls from people who are the prelude to a refund scam. If you receive such a call at home, it is a scam. City halls and financial institutions will not direct you to ATMs for refund processing.
Nor will you receive your refund at an ATM.
Also, if you see someone operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone, please notify the staff of your local financial institution.
Please take measures to avoid talking directly to the perpetrator of the scam by using the answering machine function on your home landline phone or setting your phone to reject blocked calls. Countermeasures against phone deception by phone ！ ！
Please report any suspicious phone calls to the Ichihara Police Station.
