The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters has begun a simultaneous crackdown on two groups of approximately 80 men and women on suspicion of fraud, for allegedly soliciting the purchase of investment-related products through social media and defrauding victims of cash. The police believe the total amount of damage is likely to be around 1 billion yen, and plan to investigate the situation. The suspected fraudsters are two groups of approximately 80 men and women based in buildings in Chuo-ku and Nishi-ku, Osaka. The Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters began searching several related locations and crackdowns from before 2:00 p.m. on the 23rd. According to investigators, One of the groups is suspected of soliciting investment-related products and other offers to women in their 20s through social media from February to March of this year, defrauding them by having them transfer approximately 900,000 yen in cash to a specified account, The other group is suspected of defrauding a woman in her 30s of more than 2.3 million yen in cash using a similar method in January of this year. The two groups are both based in Osaka City, and the police believe they have some kind of connection because their methods are similar, such as recommending financial products called “binary options,” which predict whether exchange rates will rise or fall.
The police plan to arrest some members on the 23rd and investigate the actual situation, suspecting that the damage caused by the two groups totals around 1 billion yen.
>>26 I don’t think Chinese people are going to bother with Japanese people anymore. There are a lot more nouveau riche and their spoiled children in China who are much easier to fool.
“Just press a button and you’ll make a huge profit” – young people are getting into trouble one after another over “binary options,” a highly gambling investment ps://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/ff339f11f61535184e65ace67214ff3006cb0529
The base is probably in Osaka city, and the suspects have surnames of eastern Japanese origin (they have been arrested in the past with addresses in the Kanto region). Or maybe this is the Osaka branch office, and the headquarters is… Common in fraud cases.
The people who get fooled are the ones who put their all into Amway and Nu Skin. They should be taught in school that there are no good deals. Old people are fooled by politicians too. Japanese people are crazy.
