Donate safely – avoid charity scams
There are scammers that pose as representatives of welfare or public organisations, especially during disasters or tragic events. There has been an increase of such activity following the Noto Earthquake, with scammers on social media soliciting donations via online payments.

The National Police Agency and the Consumer Affairs Agency urge the public to be careful and to check that the information of relevant organisations and charities is legitimate before donating.
