[Advisory to consumers]
Oh Based on the facts confirmed by the Agency, it is strongly suspected that fake black rocks do not have any business entity. Please do not respond if you receive a solicitation material from a fake black lock, or if you are asked to purchase a smooth sold by fake black lock on the assumption that you purchase a high price.
Oh There are businesses that allow consumers to trade foreign currencies and pay consumers to pay money because they can recover from past fraud. It is very difficult to recover fraud damage, so if a business operator asks you to recover past fraud damage, please do not take it for it.
Oh Businesses that make fraudulent solicitations may use the names of real businesses. Don't trust it easily just because you know the name of the company, etc., but check the contents of the solicitation carefully.
Oh Asking for the purchase of foreign currencies handled by other companies on the assumption of a high price is a typical fraud scheme. Since the exchange rate of foreign currencies fluctuate depending on economic conditions, there is generally no guarantee of a long-term trading price. In addition, there are many foreign currencies that are difficult to exchange at major financial institutions in Japan.
For foreign currencies you are not familiar with, be sure to check the exchange rate and the possibility of sale with your local financial institution before applying for a transaction.
Oh Trying to send cash by courier is a typical fraud scheme. Please do not respond even if a business is asked to send cash by courier service.
Oh If you have any doubts about such a transaction, consult the Consumer Affairs Consultation Service or the police before paying.
