A warning about businesses that make you pay large amounts of money by saying things like, "You can easily earn 500,000 yen per month just by copying and pasting."

Since July 2017, consumer affairs centers around the country have been receiving consultations about businesses that claim things like, ``You can earn at least 500,000 yen a month just by copying and pasting for 15 minutes!'' and ``You can easily earn 500,000 yen a month just by copying and pasting!'' There are many such submissions.

(Note: Copy and Paste is an abbreviation for copy and paste. Using a computer, etc., copy a portion of another text or image and paste it in another location.)

The Consumer Affairs Agency has determined that, based on the provisions of Article 38, Paragraph 1 of the Consumer Safety Act (Act No. 50 of 2009), there is a risk of unfairly harming the interests of consumers in transactions with Image Co., Ltd. We have received information that there has been an act (false/exaggerated advertising/representation, misrepresentation, and provision of conclusive judgment), so we would like to inform consumers in order to prevent the occurrence or spread of consumer harm.
