Beware of Calls Predicting Deposit Scams

This is an announcement from Chiba Chuo Police Station.

Today, a caller pretending to be a city hall employee in Nitona-machi, Chuo-ku, Chiba Prefecture, has been calling about a deposit and savings scam.
The scam is that a person pretending to be an employee of the city office says, "You will receive a refund for overpaid money. For the procedure, you need to exchange your PIN for a cash card." The caller then visits your home, asks for the PIN of your cash card, and then cheats you out of your cash card. Never hand over your own cash card or give them your PIN.

In addition, during the year-end and New Year holidays, an increase in incidents and accidents is expected, and there is a risk of an increase in "phone de fraud". Since the methods of telephone deception are becoming more diverse, when you get together with your family or relatives, discuss how to avoid becoming a victim of telephone deception.
For more information on damage prevention measures, please refer to the Chiba Prefectural Police website.
In addition, we have created and publicized original audio materials outlining many of the methods we are aware of in our jurisdiction, so please listen to them by linking to the URL below.
