[This is an arrest warrant ！ ？] Beware of fake police officers through the screen ！ ！

We have received a report of a new type of apodermic phone call in Abiko City, deceiving a police officer, and some victims have already been victimized.
The scammers call the victim, pretending to be a police officer, saying something like, "A cell phone in your name is being used for a crime." The scammers call the victim with the message, "The cell phone in your name is being used for a crime," and lead the victim to a free app call or video call, then show the victim a fake arrest warrant or image of a police report.
This new tactic involves calls to cell phones and smartphones as well as landline phones, and scammers target a wide range of ages, from students to the elderly.
Police will not
・ contact you using the free app's call or video call features.
The best way to avoid being victimized is to not talk to the perpetrator.
Also, today is Pension Payment Day. Scammers will be making scam calls on pension pay day, etc.
Do not answer unfamiliar phone numbers, continue to use the answering machine setting on your landline phone, set your smartphone to reject unwanted calls, etc.
If you receive a suspicious call, please call 110 immediately.
