Chiba City ： Phone lines are out of service ？ Beware of scam claiming to be NTT ！

From yesterday to today, numerous scam calls have been made to landlines in Chiba City, claiming to be from NTT or NTT DoCoMo. In some cases, the automated voice guidance may be.
"This phone will be out of service in 0 hours. Please press number 1 for more information." etc. is a scam ！
If you press number 1, someone claiming to be the police will tell you
"Your cell phone is being used by a gang"
"Please do not tell anyone about this"
etc., which is a scam ！. If you listen to them, they will threaten to arrest you as a criminal and ask for your personal information and money.
Scammers do not usually blow into answering machines because they do not like their voices to be recorded, but in the case of voice guidance, the answering machine will record the message as well. If you receive such a message on your answering machine, ignore it ！

In addition, an increasing number of people are being tricked into paying money by receiving calls on their cell phones with phony billing statements. Like landlines, cell phones should be set up with an answering machine, and calls from unknown numbers should only be returned if necessary after listening to the voicemail.
