DoCoMo account fraudulent withdrawal Used for product purchases in Saitama Prefecture, etc. October 5, 4:01

A new fact has been revealed regarding the problem of illegal withdrawal of deposits through a "docomo account".



It turned out that the withdrawn deposit was used to purchase products at home electronics mass retailers in the Kanto region such as Saitama Prefecture.

Police officials are planning to launch a full-scale investigation, such as identifying the persons involved, as if the crime was committed by a systematic criminal group.

NTT DoCoMo's DoCoMo account is a service that allows you to make payments using a smartphone called "d payment" by registering a bank account and making a deposit.



The damage that has been found so far is close to 30 million yen, but when the withdrawn deposit is purchased at a consumer electronics mass retailer or convenience store in the Kanto region such as Saitama Prefecture, I learned from interviews with the people concerned that it was being used.



Most of the purchased products are expensive appliances and cigarettes that can be resold.



According to the investigation so far, it has been confirmed that there was suspicious access from the IP address that seems to be in Niigata prefecture when opening a docomo account, and the overall instructor, the role of opening an account, and buying products at the store. It is believed that organized criminal groups, divided into roles, are involved.



More than 10 police headquarters nationwide will soon set up a joint investigation headquarters, analyze the security cameras and communication records of the store, and embark on a full-scale investigation such as identifying the person involved.
