Occurrence of Refund fraud
Yesterday, April 4th (Thursday), a man received a phone call from a person pretending to be from the tax office in Nagahama City saying, ``You have a tax refund. Today is the deadline for the procedure. Please call me when you arrive at the ATM.'' There have been two cases of refund fraud in which a person who believed the above operation operated an ATM as instructed over the phone by the man on the other end and ended up transferring cash.
This phone call pretends to be an employee of a tax office or financial institution, saying things like ``You have a refund'' and tricking the victim into going to an ATM and having them transfer money to the criminal's account.
[To avoid becoming a victim]
Tax office staff or financial institution staff will never call you and say, ``You have a refund.''
You cannot receive refunds at ATMs.
Let's practice the "3 rules + 1" to avoid being deceived.
〇 Set your home phone to answering machine
〇Do not use your cell phone at an ATM
〇Do not give your cash card + Do not tell your PIN number
＊Always set your home phone to answering machine.

We will carry out Traffic Accident Prevention Campaign for newly enrolled school/kindergarten children and the elderly.
Objectives:
In early spring, when children enter new schools or kindergartens, children's activities such as commuting to and from schools or kindergartens change significantly, so there is a high risk that children will be victims of traffic accidents. Additionally, in early spring, the range of activities of the elderly becomes wider, and the proportion of traffic accidents involving the elderly tends to increase.
Therefore, Shiga Prefecture will implement the “Traffic Accident Prevention Campaign for Newly Enrolled school/Kindergarten Children and the Elderly” in order to protect children, including newly enrolled children and the elderly from traffic accidents.
Period:
From March 15th (Friday) to April 15th (Monday), 2024
Emphasis on campaign:
・Ensuring safe passage on routes to school and out-of-school activities
・Thorough traffic safety education and guidance for newly enrolled school/kindergarten children and their guardians
・Preventing traffic accidents and increasing awareness of safe driving among the elderly
・Promotion of crosswalk user first movement
