Beware of tax refund scam calls claiming to be from tax office employees ！.

Today, in the Yotsukaido district of Yotsukaido-shi, a man claiming to be an employee of the tax office called to say, "I sent you the documents for the flat-rate tax reduction, but they have not been returned yet."
This caller claims that the offender is a convenience store owner, a shopping mall, or other such non-profit organization. This call is a tax refund scam in which the caller leads the caller to an unattended ATM machine at a convenience store or shopping mall and asks the caller to send money to the caller's account under the guise of a tax refund.

The tax official will never say, "Please go to an ATM to get your refund." They will not say, "You need to go to an ATM to get your refund.
If money is mentioned on the phone, it is a scam. Talk to a family member or the police.
Another effective measure is to always leave your landline phone on voicemail.
