“Docomo Account” Similar fraudulent withdrawal in May last year September 10 1:54
It was discovered that similar fraudulent withdrawals had occurred in May of last year due to the illegal withdrawal of deposits at banks in various regions through the electronic payment service "docomo account".
NTT Docomo's "Docomo account" is a service that allows you to purchase and transfer money by "d payment" if you register and deposit a bank account, but bank deposits are fraudulently withdrawn through this account. The damage is one after another.
Due to this problem, it was discovered that deposits were fraudulently drawn from a major bank Resona Bank's account through a docomo account in May last year.
At that time, NTT Docomo reduced the amount of money that can be transferred from a bank account to a Docomo account from 1 million yen to 300,000 yen per month, and called on other banks linked to the Docomo account to strengthen security.
At this time, only DoCoMo mobile phone users were able to open a Docomo account at that time, and it was said that the mobile phone number was sufficient to verify their identity, and no further measures were taken.
However, after that, when it became possible to use a Docomo account for other than DoCoMo mobile phone users, it was not necessary to enter the mobile phone number.
As a result, insufficient identity verification may have led to this fraudulent withdrawal, so it seems that it will be questioned whether NTT Docomo's response so far was appropriate.
