We are providing this information because the Matsudo Police Station has sent out an e-mail concerning a phone deception.

Since last week, there have been a number of phone calls in the Matsudo Police Station area that are a premonition of a phone de scam, and damage has occurred.
The most common tactic was by someone claiming to be a son
"I was in the hospital and had surgery, so my voice has changed a little."
"I lost a check to use at work. I need you to make it up."
"My boss at work is going to my house to pick it up and I need you to give it to him."
This is an oleole scam.
If they call and talk about money or cash cards, it is a scam.
Hang up the phone immediately and call the police.
Also, if you see someone operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone, please suspect a fraud and
call out to prevent damage and call the police.

[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.
