Regarding the “Warning about the Prohibition of Account Transfers,etc.” 「口座譲渡等の禁止に係る注意喚起」について
To Our Valued Foreign Customers
Thank you for your continued patronage of our bank.
In light of the increasingly serious issues surrounding"account buying and selling" and "money transfer jobs," "increased penalties for the illegal transfer of bank passbooks" and "establishment of penalties for money transfer jobs" were implemented on July 10th of this year.
Many people are unaware that transferring bank accounts they no longer use to others, whether for a fee or free of charge, can be a crime, and as a result, these transferred accounts are often used for fraudulent activities.
We would like to inform you that the National Police Agency has released a cautionary document regarding the amendments, along with a public awareness video that incorporates the contents of the amended law.
お客様各位
平素は、当金庫をご利用いただき誠にありがとうございます。
昨今、深刻化している“口座売買”や“送金バイト”等の状況を踏まえ、「預貯金通帳の不正譲渡に対する罰則の引き上げ」「送金バイトに対する罰則の創設」が本年7月10日に施行されました。
自らが使用しなくなった口座を他人へ譲渡する行為が、有償・無償を問わず犯罪となりえる意識が薄いまま行われ、譲渡した口座が特殊詐欺に悪用される事案が多く発生しております。
『警察庁』から改正内容に対する注意喚起資料と併せ、改正法の内容を盛り込んだ広報啓発動画の周知がありましたのでお知らせいたします。
