It’s Me… HELP

Mainichi Interactive – Top News: “A record 2.9 billion yen was duped out of victims of ‘It’s me’ scams that mostly targeted elderly people who were led to believe that one of their relatives was involved in an accident, police said Friday.

Losses in these scams hit a record high for the fourth month in a row.

From January to September, the total loss amounted to 12.9 billion yen, three times more than last year, officials of the National Police Agency said.”
