Police subsequently investigated the site's usage history and found that 3250 accommodation facilities were nationwide in less than a year until last month. It has been confirmed that you have canceled twice.
The damage amount of the reservation destination was about 115 million yen, and it is believed that the parent and child illegally gained about 2.5 million yen of "T point" of the privilege granted from the reservation site.
