From [Vivinavi] Narashino

I have been getting calls about a tax refund scam.

Today,
many phone calls of refund fraud have been received in the Saginamadai, Kasumi, and Yatsu areas of Narashino City.

Perpetrators first call pretending to be from the city office and say
"We have your refund."
"I sent you an envelope the other day, but you didn't answer, so I called."
etc.

then
"What bank do you use?"
"What is your PIN number?"
"Please have your bankbook and cash card at hand."
and try to get information about the bank, PIN, etc.


◆To avoid being scammed ？ ◆

0. Do not talk to the person ！
→ If you do not answer the phone, you will not be scammed.
Set your landline to "answering machine" and do not answer the phone.

0 City Hall will never discuss money over the phone ！
→ Never ask for your PIN over the phone.
If you feel something is wrong, call back to the City Hall phone number you found.
＊ The phone number the culprit says is a 'lie'.

In any case, if you feel something is wrong,
→ consult your family, friends, police station, or police immediately.
The culprit will make you feel rushed, so if you feel that something is even a little strange, talk to someone.
