Beware of special fraud!
Last update date November 13, 2023
In Nishi Ward, there are many suspicious calls that seem to be fraudulent!
Nishi Ward Office cooperates with Tobe Police Department to conduct patrols and call for caution.
If you receive such a phone call from the criminal, it's a heron!
"I need money suddenly!"
"I'll keep my cash card."
If you hear these words on the phone, it's a heron!
Also, the criminal uses the social situation to draw money from you in various ways.
Recently, there have been many methods using "special fixed amount benefits" etc.!
Municipalities and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications will never make a phone call with the following! !
X Ask for the operation of an automatic teller machine (ATM)
X Request a transfer of fees when receiving
X Send an email and click the URL to request the application procedure.
If you feel that the phone is a bit strange, hang up and report it to the police immediately.
It's dangerous to think, "I'm OK!"

Announcement from Tobe Police Department
Don't be fooled, the phone!
Recently, a new method of wire fraud has occurred, in which a criminal claiming to be a police officer or a bank official, makes a telephone call and goes directly to his home, etc., after making a telephone call.
Police officers and bank officials will never go to store cash cards!
In addition, after a family member reports that the mobile phone number has changed, a financial institution is notified of debt repayment and a large amount of money is required.
If you receive such a suspicious call, please report it to the police immediately.
In addition, please see homepage of Tobe Police Department and Kanagawa Prefectural Police for detailed information such as special fraud techniques and deception words.
