[Request from the police]
　There is an increasing number of scams that display fake warning screens such as "Your computer is infected with a virus" to trick victims into making phone calls, and then defraud them of fictitious charges under the pretext of support contracts.
　In order not to become a victim,
　　　〇 Don't panic when the warning screen is displayed, and close the screen (browser).
　　　〇 Do not call the phone number displayed on the screen
Please keep in mind the following.
　Also, if you receive a suspicious phone call or email, talk to the police or someone close to you.
