Beware of phishing scams!

In November 2021, suspicious sites and suspicious emails were confirmed that used the name and logo of the National Police Agency to pretend to be a winner of a gift, etc., and to enter personal information. When you access the site, your credit card number etc. may be stolen. If you find such a site, please do not enter your credit card number or personal information carelessly and report it to the Akita Prefectural Police Cybercrime Counseling Desk .

There is a method of fraudulently sending e-mails and SMS under the guise of a credit card company and having them enter their credit card numbers.
Be careful not to easily open links in untrustworthy emails or SMS.
Please take a look at the video of phishing fraud prevention at the National Credit Card Crime Countermeasures Liaison Council.
