A cash card is stolen = Matsubushi Town

Too late...

On the 25th, the Yoshikawa Police Station in Saitama Prefecture announced that an 82-year-old unemployed woman from Matsubushi-cho had been victimized by a special fraud and had one of her cash cards stolen. She doesn't care... A woman lined up at an ATM notices a man trying to transfer money to her scammer and blocks the last letter of her PIN.

According to the police, at around 3:10 pm on the 24th, a man claiming to be a town hall employee told the woman, "I will return the accumulated insurance premiums for five years," "Tell me where to transfer the refund money," " I received a phone call asking for my bank account number and PIN," "It's an old card, so I'll replace it," and "Don't hang up because the staff is walking around the area." About 30 minutes later, the woman who believed her handed over a cash card to a man who visited her home. The suspicious woman consulted her family and realized the damage, and called 110, but 1 million yen was withdrawn from the woman's account. The man was in his late 30s, about 180 cm tall, and was wearing a dark blue jumper and pants.
