Disaster Prevention Net An-an｜Beware of suspicious calls claiming to be police

Back

　This is a notice from the Kojo Police Station.
　At 1:38 p.m. on January 24, Reiwa 8, a man in his 20s living in a small city received a call on his mobile phone, and the automatic voice system said, "This is the post office. If you are unsure, press 1." When the man pressed 1, a phone call was connected to a person claiming to be an employee of a postal company, and the person said, "5 pieces of clothing that you sent to Aichi Prefecture, My Number Card in your name, 8 cash cards in someone else's name, and 3 passbooks in someone else's name were caught in the luggage inspection and stopped at the ●● post office. I am asked.
　When the man replied that he didn't know, he said, "I'll connect you to the police now, so please talk to the police," and a person named Kato of the Aichi Prefectural Police Investigation Division 2 was connected by phone and urged to file a damage report.
　The man who responded this time was suspicious and hung up the phone, so he was not harmed, but such calls are a method of fake phone fraud.

[Request from the police]
・Fraud tactics such as defrauding cash under the guise of family members, police officers, and real companies are frequent.
・The police will not ask for money transfer by phone or contact you through video calls on social media.
・Contacting you to claim money by phone or email is a scam.
・In order not to be victimized, please consult the police or someone close to you first for suspicious calls or emails.

Let's talk about this criminal information among family, work, friends, etc., and let's eradicate fraud damage together.
