Sustainable benefits for corona measures At least 200 refund consultations October 8th, 5:25
Regarding the "sustainable benefit" provided to businesses as a countermeasure against the new coronavirus, it is consumed that at least 200 consultations have been received from people who are believed to have received it illegally at consumer service centers nationwide. I found it in the summary of the Consumer Affairs Agency.
The "sustainable benefit" is provided to businesses whose sales have dropped significantly due to the effects of the new coronavirus, up to 2 million yen for small and medium-sized enterprises, and up to 1 million yen for sole proprietors.
On the other hand, there are cases where you are not eligible to receive the benefits and you can receive benefits if you apply for it, and there are cases where you try to get a reward by teaching you how to apply illegally, and you are actually arrested for receiving the benefits illegally. Cases have also been revealed one after another.
Regarding this, when the Consumer Affairs Agency investigated the consultations on "sustainable benefits" sent to consumer affairs centers nationwide, at least 200 consultations "want to refund" were received from people who seemed to have received illegally. It means that it was done.
Specifically,
the consultations from the younger generation are conspicuous, such as "
When I was invited by a friend of the university to apply, I received 1 million yen.
I knew that I was receiving fraud and would like to refund it."
The Consumer Affairs Agency will continue to provide information to encourage refund procedures for such consultations.
Akiko Ito, Secretary of the Consumer Affairs Agency, said, "If you receive an illegal payment, please return it as soon as possible."
