[Important] Warning about special fraud

Dec. 2, 2024, 9:16 p.m.
In addition to the methods listed below, fraud groups may also misuse advanced technology, such as using AI to generate fake videos and audio in order to gain the trust of their victims. They may also request remittances in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin instead of bank transfers.
● Recommending fictitious investments via social media and defrauding people of their money (social media investment fraud).
●They display false warnings such as "You are infected with a virus" on your computer screen and have you call an overseas call center in order to defraud you of money.
●They approach victims using chat on social media and through repeated exchanges make them develop romantic feelings and a sense of closeness to them, and then they deceive them into giving them money, claiming to be for medical treatment for themselves or their relatives' illnesses, or to pay bail if they are detained by security agencies (romance scams).
● They recruit victims through fake United Nations and government agency websites that claim, "We will pay benefits to those who have been victims of fraud," and gain their trust through explanations given over video chat, after which they defraud them of money as processing fees for the benefit transfer.
●They display a false phone number for the Japanese Embassy and pretend to be an embassy employee, telling lies such as "There is an arrest warrant out for you" or "A relative has been detained" to deceive people into giving up money or personal information.

2. Measures to prevent fraud (1) In most cases, victims do not realize that they have been defrauded until they have lost contact with the other party after making the payment.
(2) If you are asked to give money, regardless of the pretext, keep in mind the possibility of a scam and first consult with someone close to you.
(3) If you feel even the slightest bit of uneasiness, it is important to cut off all means of contact with the person demanding money, such as by not speaking to them or blocking their phone calls.
