A fraud pretending to be a telephone line repair in the disaster area

Due to the impact of Typhoon No.19, damage such as the inability to connect to landlines and the Internet is spreading, but in the affected areas, NTT East Japan has been devastated by the person pretending to be a person in charge of repairs. Calls attention.

According to NTT East, in a typhoon-affected area, a person posing as a person in charge of repairing a telephone line has been reported to be deceived on the spot as a repair fee.

NTT East dispatches a person in charge of repairs in response to an inquiry when a landline or internet line breaks down, but pays attention to fraud because it does not charge the price on the spot. If you encounter a call to the police, you are asked.

If the fixed phone breaks down, contact "113" from NTT East's fixed phone and "0120-444-113" from a mobile phone. In addition, the trouble of the Internet line is accepted at “0120-000-113”.
