社会｜佐川急便を装った不審電話に注意！ / Society | Beware of suspicious calls pretending to be from Sagawa Express!

Summary

Recently, there has been an increase in suspicious phone calls claiming to be from Sagawa Express, particularly reports of calls stating that “drugs have been found in a package.”

These types of calls create anxiety for the recipient and are tactics aimed at obtaining personal information. It is especially important to be cautious of the call’s source, automated voice guidance, and any requests for personal information or payment. If it were a legitimate call from Sagawa Express, you would be able to track your package through their official website or app, so it’s crucial to hang up immediately on any suspicious calls.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Wait, really? Are there incidents like that?
Log: Yeah, it seems to be increasing lately. Especially calls about “drugs in packages.”
Chako: How can you tell if it’s real or not?
Log: First, check the phone number of the caller. Then, pay attention to the automated voice guidance.
Navi: Let me add something. Many suspicious calls often request personal information or payments, so it’s recommended to verify on official websites.
Chako: I see! If I check the official website, I’ll feel more secure!

Admin’s Note

The recent increase in suspicious phone calls can significantly contribute to social anxiety. As evident from the conversation between Chako and Log, knowing accurate information can lead to self-defense. Especially, using official websites or apps to check the status of packages is a very effective measure. It’s important for everyone to be vigilant about such calls and to share information with those around them if necessary.
