Please be careful about fake hometown tax sites!

About the fake hometown tax website that pretends to be a local organization
Recently, malicious and fake websites have been found all over the country that pretend to accept donations under the Furusato Nozei system under the name of a local organization.
Already, damage has occurred in which the reward has not arrived after transferring cash.
If you donate on a hometown tax payment site that you have never used before, or if you feel suspicious, please check before applying and be careful of malicious fraud.
If by any chance you find a fake site of Motoichi, please contact the general affairs and contract section.
Note: The city does not accept applications via the Internet other than through Furusato Choice and Rakuten Market (Rakuten Furusato Tax).
For more information on how to apply for hometown tax payments, please see About Inagi Support Donations (Hometown Tax Payments) (internal link) .
Characteristics of fake sites
- Advertise a special price, such as displaying a significant discount from the regular price
- There is no mention of the municipality's address, contact information, email address, etc.
- The image of the reward used on the hometown tax payment site is reprinted and disguised as a genuine site
- If the payment method is bank transfer, the account holder is an individual name or a company name
The above is just an example.
Please be careful when entering your personal information and making credit card payments, as there are cases where the site is disguised as a legitimate site using clever tricks.
