Beware of refund scams posing as Inagi City Hall employees

　Callers claim to be employees of the National Health Insurance Section of City Hall and try to defraud people of money by telling them things like, ``We have a refund for past medical expenses.Did you see the notice we sent you previously?'' An incident is occurring.
These calls have characteristics such as ``calling with anonymous setting,'' ``hanging up unilaterally if you tell them that you are not enrolled in National Health Insurance,'' and ``asking for your mobile phone number.''
These are typical bank transfer scams in which the perpetrator says, ``I'll show you how to receive your refund using your mobile phone,'' but ultimately tricks the criminal into transferring the money to his or her account. You will never receive a call like this from City Hall regarding medical expense reimbursement.
If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and report it to the police.
