Regarding "special fraud" such as transfer fraud, the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters said that it is difficult to have a concrete image of the method and it is difficult to lead to effective enlightenment, so in the prefecture it will be enlightened under the new name "money fraud by telephone". I decided.
Police all over the country are enlightening the general term for transfer fraud as "special fraud", but the Nagano Prefectural Police are new because it is difficult to imagine a specific method and they do not know the points to be careful. I was considering the name.
Therefore, when the police recruited about 1000 cases, it was decided that most of the special frauds were "money fraud by telephone" because they requested money by telephone.
According to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters, the number of cases of special fraud that occurred in the prefecture by March 28 was 42, 6 more than the same period last year, and the damage amount was about 147 million yen, 60 million yen. It means that it has increased by more than yen.
"Money fraud by telephone" has been used since April 1, and the police have decided to widely disseminate it by distributing posters in order to establish the name and prevent damage.
The Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters commented, "I want you to have a concrete image of fraud on the phone and help prevent damage."
