Beware of phone de scam claiming to be a police officer ！.

We are providing this information because the Matsudo Police Department has distributed an e-mail concerning a telephone deception.

In Matsudo city, a person claiming to be a police officer has been receiving suspicious phone calls such as
"Your cash card in your name has been misused."
and so on.
In particular, there has been a recent surge in phone de scams using international phone numbers ending in "0110".
If you are asked for money or a cash card over the phone, it is a scam.
Never answer any personal information such as accounts you have, asset information, or addresses.
Also, if you receive a visitor, do not let them in the house easily, but use the intercom.
If you see a suspicious person, call 110 immediately.

[To prevent damage]
To stop suspicious or unwanted calls, it is very effective to use the unwanted call prevention function.
Matsudo City introduces the installation of repelling devices, so please contact us.

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