Telephone from a man who gave himself a police officer Damage caused by special fraud exceeding 32 million yen December 4, 15:26
It turned out that an 85-year-old woman in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, was fooled by over 32 million yen in cash, believing the story of a man who named himself a police officer. The police are calling for attention because the man had previously told the number of the lie consultation dial.
According to the police, in September, an 85-year-old woman's home in Tsukuba City received a phone call from a man who gave himself a police officer and was told the number of the lie consultation dial.
The next day, a suspicious call for money was received, and when the woman called the number, she said, "I want you to pretend to be fooled and send money."
The woman believed this and sent 4.5 million yen cash and two cash cards by courier, but at that point she did not realize she was fooled.
And on the 30th of last month, I was suspicious that I could not contact the man who named the police officer and consulted with the police, I found that 28.43 million yen of cash was withdrawn from the bank account is.
The police are investigating cases of fraud and calling on them to take measures to prevent damage, such as setting their home phone as an answering machine.
