The Ichihara Police Station will inform you of the following.
December 13 （ Friday ） is Pension Payment Day. Be especially careful around the pension payment date, as you tend to receive many phone calls from phone de scams.
The best way to avoid becoming a victim of telephone deception is to avoid talking directly to the perpetrator. If you talk to the perpetrator, even if you think you know about the phone de scam, you will be misled and deceived by their 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 scam tactic,
・ 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, asking for cash under the guise of donations
There have been many cases of social networking type investment ・ romance scams such as .
It is very dangerous to send money to a personal account for investment purposes ！ Be wary of advertisements on SNS or Internet ads that ask you to join a LINE group ！ If you meet someone through SNS or other means and have never met them before and they offer you money, suspect a fraud. Suspect a scam.
