Beware of Telephone Deception Victims ！.

This is the Kisarazu City Hall Community Coexistence Promotion Division.

[Please be aware of suspicious phone calls]

Today, in Kisarazu City, a person claiming to be from an electronics retail store has been receiving suspicious phone calls that appear to be phone deception, such as
"Your credit card has been used fraudulently"
"Please respond as the police will contact you"
. I have been receiving suspicious phone calls that appear to be phone deception.
If "money" is mentioned on the phone, it is a scam.

The scammer's ultimate goal is to swindle you out of your money.
If you hear any talk of
"I will take your cash card"
"Please give me your card PIN number for identification"
"Please pay me the money"
you should suspect a scam.

Also, to keep you from making calm decisions, scammers will try to rush you.
If you hear a complaint such as, "If you don't take immediate action, you will be in big trouble,"
never panic, consult your family or the police, or look up the phone number and call back.

Please be especially careful around pension payment dates, as scam calls targeting the elderly tend to increase.


★ Family members on the phone （ even with real names ） ・ police officers ・ bank employees ・ Do not immediately trust anyone claiming to be a city official, etc. and do not easily answer with personal information or whether they are home.

★ Even if you are at home, it is effective to use the answering machine function and avoid talking to the person.

★ There are also many scams in which people try to take your cash card. Do not give your card to anyone else or your PIN under any circumstances.
