0 [Beware of Scams Conjugated with the Noto Peninsula Earthquake]
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the victims of the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
In relation to the recent earthquake, we have received some consultations such as "I received a suspicious phone call saying that the city is collecting donations" or "I received a suspicious visit asking for support goods".

[Advice]
Regardless of whether you are in the affected area or not, please be aware that there will be many fraudulent troubles and malicious business practices that take advantage of the earthquake.
Public institutions will not call each household to ask for donations. When transferring donations to an account, carefully check the name of the payee.
