Frauds Targeting Chinese Nationals
Many scams targeting Chinese nationals have occurred in Japan, and similar cases have been reported at the university.
The criminals call Chinese nationals, pretending to be members of the Chinese police, and mislead them with threats such as, “Your bank account is being used for illegal money transfers. If you don’t do anything, you will be arrested and deported.” Then the criminals tell them to send money to a designated bank account.
The criminals also tell Chinese nationals, “Never tell others about this,” and try to convince them to believe the criminals through various tricks.
To avoid becoming a victim, even if the caller claims to be from the Chinese Embassy or Public Security Bureau, hang up the phone and consult with your family, a familiar person, the university or the police.
Ban on Importing Meat Products
We have reported an increase in international mail packages containing meat products addressed to residents of the university’s dormitories from China.
Importation of food containing meat is banned by Japanese laws. If you violate this, you may be subject to imprisonment and/or fines.
Be sure to tell your family and friends in China not to send meat products to your residence in Japan (such as dormitory or apartment).
