With the issuance of new banknotes from July 3, 2024, there are concerns about fraudulent phone calls taking advantage of the new banknotes.
Current banknotes can still be used after the new banknotes are issued.
Financial institutions and government agencies will not ask for exchange regarding the new banknotes, so please never give them to a third party.
If you receive a suspicious phone call, e-mail, or visit regarding the new banknotes, please contact the police.

Specific examples are as follows.
"When we switch to the new banknotes, the old banknotes on hand will no longer work, so our staff will be there to replace them."
"We are investigating whether the new banknotes can be used properly at the ATM. We will pay you a reward for your cooperation in the ATM operation."
"Since new banknotes are being issued, if you have a chest deposit, it will be taxed. I will deposit them instead and put them in your account."

Scammers will try every means to make contact.
The most effective way to prevent phone deception is to not talk to the perpetrator.
Therefore, take measures such as setting your landline phone to an answering machine even when you are at home.
