1. Overview and countermeasures Since November 1st, there have been multiple reports of special fraud cases in a wide area of Brazil, where individuals claiming to be staff of the Japanese Embassy in Brazil have made phone calls and, in Japanese, lied and demanded personal information or bank transfers, such as saying, "A fraud has been committed in your name, and an arrest warrant has been issued by the XX Prefectural Police in Japan." They also use sophisticated and malicious tactics, such as falsifying the embassy's main line number.
To date, no similar cases have been confirmed in Argentina, but the possibility of them occurring in Argentina in the future cannot be denied, so please be careful. If you receive a suspicious phone call that you do not recognize, suspect the possibility of a scam, do not provide personal information or respond to requests for money, and remain calm by hanging up the phone.
We also ask that you share this email with your family and friends, and that you report any such cases to the Embassy.
