Vivinavi : Togane : (Japan) Togane

Yesterday, we received a phone call in the Togane Police Station area that was a precursor to a phone deception.
The caller claims to be a police officer
・
・ "You are suspected of being involved in a crime, so we will talk to you via video call on our calling app."
and directs you to a video call
・ on the video call, demanding, "Give me your account number to avoid arrest."
and demanding to know the account number in order not to be arrested.

In addition,
・ fake police officers in video calls wearing "uniform-like" clothing
・ fake police officers showing "fake police identification card" or "fake arrest warrant"
・ criminal investigation ・ cooperation in investigation Information has been received about the technique of
・ instructing you to come to another prefecture
demanding money transfer on the basis of proof of innocence.

Police officers will never
speak directly with citizens via social networking video calls
so if you answer a suspicious call
that "claims to be a police officer and directs you to a video call", hang up immediately and report the call to the nearest police station.
