Phone deception, SNS-type investment ・ romance scams are becoming more and more common

This is a notice from Ichihara Police Station.
In Ichihara City,
・ A person claiming to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications or NTT will send you a short message about a bill
・ A person claiming to be a police officer will tell you that "your bank account or cell phone is being used for criminal activity" and try to cheat you out of money under the guise of investigation There have been a series of phone frauds, such as "Phone fraud", "Phone fraud", "Phone fraud", "Phone fraud", and "Phone fraud".
The best way to avoid becoming a victim of phone fraud is to avoid talking to the perpetrator directly. If you talk to the perpetrator, even if you think you know about telephone fraud, you will be misled and deceived by his/her words.
If you are contacted by an unusual billing method or do not remember the bill itself, do not contact them. Also, if you see someone operating an ATM while talking on a cell phone, please inform the staff or clerk at your local financial institution.
In addition, as a new type of scam,
・ after watching a video on your phone, you are led to a LINE and solicited to invest in crypto assets
・ you receive a direct message from someone claiming to be a celebrity's official account and demanding cash in the form of donations There have been many cases of SNS-type investment ・ romance scams, such as those in which a person is solicited to invest in crypto assets by a person claiming to be an official account of a celebrity.
It is very dangerous to send money to a personal account for investment purposes, and beware of advertisements on social networking sites or internet advertisements asking you to join a LINE group.
