China News Service, October 10th. According to Kyodo News Agency of Japan, Chinese people in Japan have received calls posing as employees of relevant Chinese departments. Cases of defrauding money have occurred one after another in Osaka Prefecture. The total amount of damage is about 35 million yen (about 35 million yen). RMB 2.22 million).
In some cases, the automatic Chinese voice was played at the beginning, only to induce Chinese people who could understand it; in some cases, it seemed that specific individuals were targeted based on the list.
The Osaka Prefectural Police believes that this is a new special fraud method and has appealed to everyone to be vigilant.
In August this year, a Chinese woman in her 20s who lives in Osaka Prefecture suddenly received a call from a man claiming to be an embassy employee on her cell phone, saying that she had found a "forged passport."
Later, the call was transferred to another man who claimed to be the "Chinese police."
The person claimed that "counterfeit bank cards were used for money laundering", even if they did not know, would be questioned, and asked the woman to send location information.
It is reported that when the woman was in contact with the criminal gang, she was shown something that appeared to be an arrest warrant printed with her face photo and passport number, and she felt uneasy.
As a result, she remitted 2 million yen in cash in the name of "in order to prove that it was not money related to crime."
Chinese men in their 40s who were defrauded of bank accounts and other information in the same way still receive calls from suspected criminals.
The man said that he did not expect that living in Japan would become the target of fraud, and he was completely unconscious.
The Osaka prefectural police said that such calls were discovered in the prefecture around March. As of the end of September, 18 cases had occurred, and younger people from China in their 10s to 50s were targeted.
People in Shiga and Fukuoka prefectures were also deceived.
Both automatic voice playback and calls based on the list clearly target Chinese people, but the background analysis of the case has not progressed.
The investigator revealed: "Similar frauds have spread across the country. If the dens are overseas, it will be difficult to investigate and deal with them."
In September, the Osaka Prefecture Police produced a Chinese leaflet urging to be alert to fraud.
The content is to introduce fraudulent methods, such as falsely claiming that "you will be disqualified from your residence status", and will be distributed to Japanese language schools.
The investigator said that “considering that there were also cases where the Japanese police had not been reported to the police, it was difficult to see the actual situation of the victim” and strengthened their vigilance.
