A foreign woman in her 20s living in Shiribeshi reported to the Kutchan Police Station on August 7, that she had been defrauded of a total of 1 million yen in cash by men claiming to be from the Japanese Immigration Bureau. The police are investigating it as a special case of fraud. According to the Kutchan Police, on August 4, a man claiming to be from the Japanese Immigration Bureau called the woman, and said, “Your phone number has been used for a crime, and an arrest warrant has been issued for you.” A man claiming to be from the Shanghai Police in China asked her to make two transfers of 500,000 yen each to a specified account so that they could check the amount of money in her possession. On that same day, the woman transferred a total of 1,000,000 yen in cash to the designated account in two separate transfers. After transferring the funds, the phone calls instructing her to deposit the money continued, and the woman became suspicious and consulted the Kutchan Police Station, which led to the discovery of the fraud.
