Phone call asking for account information is a scam ！
From May 11 （ Sat ） to May 13 （ Mon ） in Funabashi city, a person claiming to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
said "Your account may have been used in a scam."
"Please report to the police because your personal information may have been leaked and your cell phone made fraudulently. The police department is on the line, please stay on the line."
After the call, the call was replaced by someone pretending to be a police officer and giving out personal and account information.

Scammers will use any means to get your personal and other information.
The most effective way to prevent phone deception is not to talk to the perpetrator.
Therefore, you should take measures such as setting your landline phone to an answering machine.
