[Caution] Beware of scams where perpetrators impersonate the town mayor or other town officials.

Currently, there has been a sharp increase in fraud cases across Japan and within Niseko Town involving "impersonation emails" and "LINE messages" that falsely use the names of the town mayor, special officials, and celebrities.

- The mayor and staff will send an email requesting participation in the LINE group.
- They approach you via social media or email to offer investment or financial transactions.

　**Never** send emails requesting participation in Niseko Town groups or making individual investment-related inquiries.**

1. Do not reply (ignore them)
2. Do not click on the URL (do not enter personal information).
3. Delete the email in question or block the sender.

If you feel even the slightest bit that something is "off," do not reply.
Please contact your local town hall or the Hokkaido Prefectural Police first.

To protect your valuable assets and personal information,
Please be careful, everyone.
