Today is Pension Payment Day.
You may receive phone calls from scammers targeting the elderly.
If you receive a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be a family member or city hall employee, saying that you have lost your bag, that you have a tax refund, or that your account information has been stolen, please suspect a scam. If you receive a suspicious phone call, hang up and consult your family or the police.
In addition, in order to prevent damage from telephone deception, we ask for your cooperation in making the contents of this e-mail known to those close to you.

In addition, the following are effective in preventing phone deception.

●Turn on the "answering machine function" and "notification recording function" even when you are at home.
●Don't immediately trust a family member （ by phone, even if they use their real name ） ・ a police officer ・ a bank employee ・ a city official, etc., and don't answer with personal information or whether they are at home.
●There have been a number of scams in which people have asked for your cash card. Do not give your card to anyone else or give them your PIN.
●Do not keep cash at home if at all possible.
●In addition to those targeting cash, there are also scams in which people are asked to purchase electronic money at convenience stores.
●Keep in touch with your family members on a regular basis and maintain close communication.
●You cannot get a refund at an ATM.
●The aim of criminals is to make you feel rushed and unable to make a calm decision by telling you that you have a deadline. Hang up the phone once so that you can make a calm decision, and if you feel suspicious, consult your family or the police.
