The number of victims of SNS investment scams and romance scams is increasing sharply.
A total of 12 cases of "SNS investment scams" and "romance scams," in which false investment offers are made through SNS without meeting the victim face-to-face, occurred in the prefecture from January to March this year,
and the total amount of damage was approximately 140 million yen.
The number of cases has increased sharply since the beginning of this year, with two new cases in April, totaling 41 million yen.
The age range of such scams is wider than that of special scams targeting the elderly, and the damage per person is greater.
The prefectural police are warning people that "any offer that promises a profit is a scam."
