Beware of Scam by Phone Number Posing as Police ！ ！

We are providing this information because of an e-mail distributed by the Chiba Prefectural Police Headquarters regarding a telephone deception scam.

Recently, we have received a number of scam phone calls using phone numbers ending in "0110".
This technique involves calling from a number ending in "0110," which is the same as a police headquarters or police station, and pretending to be a police officer in order to swindle you out of money.
In many cases, international calls are made and the first part of the number appears as "＋", so please do not answer calls from numbers with "＋" at the beginning or from unknown numbers.
Even if the number does not have a "＋" prefix, there have been cases where the phone number of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department or a police station in Tokyo is displayed as a false number.

Please refer to the website of the National Police Agency for more information on scam tactics and countermeasures against scammers pretending to be police officers.
