Suspicious phone calls pretending to be from a phone service provider

In the Katsuura Police Station area, a suspicious caller was confirmed to be calling from a phone company and saying,
"You have an unpaid site subscription fee."
and other suspicious phone calls have been confirmed.
The scammers use the story of unpaid charges as a springboard to
"Your smartphone has been hacked and is being used by someone else."
"You, the administrator, are responsible."
They will say things like, "You are the administrator, you are responsible." They will then ask you for money, making you uneasy.
If they give you the name of a major phone company, you may end up trusting them.
The caller says
"If you don't pay, we will take you to court."
"Please go to the bank immediately and make your payment."
If the caller says something like that, suspect a scam and consult your family or the police.
