Chiba City ： Beware of Support Scam

Chiba Chuo Police Station informs.

Currently, not only phone de scams such as oleore scams and refund scams, but also "support scams" are increasing.
"Support scam" is a scam in which a warning screen or a warning sound such as "infected with a virus" appears while using the Internet on a computer, making the user impatient.
The scammer then calls the contact number listed on the warning screen under the guise of "removing the virus," etc., and leads the user to a fake support service, where the user is asked to pay a large fee for the removal of the virus.

If you are using the Internet and a warning screen appears, do not panic and never call the contact listed on the screen.

The National Consumer Affairs Center (NCC) has published information on the same technique.
