This room is used as a preview of people who want to move in, and a person who is a real estate agent calls the management company and asks for the PIN code in the box containing the key.

In response to the investigation, Mr. Watanabe acknowledged the charges, and has since stated that he has received SIM cards and bankbooks in the name of others in multiple apartments in the same manner and has handed them to another person. .

Since SIM cards are misused for special fraud, the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating that there is a suspicion that the fraud group had obtained the tool by using an empty room for preview.
