Doesn't anyone else get the daily/weekly warnings over loudspeaker about this stuff?
Sad stories of those being ripped off.

LOL.

I read the Chilean tsunami waves were terrifying to the wharf rats in Yokohama.
In Saitama its more fraud warnings, lost old people and motorcycle gang alerts. I was worried about the last one until I saw a few lads scootering by.

On the outerbank of Chiba, we get the same - twice a day or more frequently if they are looking for a truant oldster. Never have heard one on scooter gangs....

I was making fun of the "motorcycle gangs" people talk about. I was thinking maybe someone should introduce them to the SOA.
I mentioned the scooters cause a family member said local police say there are connections to these "It's me" frauds and motorcycle riding gangsters. They roll into an area, stay a few days and move on.
Here, its on the weekends. Wife says family has gone out and grandpa starts to wonder. idk.

Salty are you going to TGS2015 by any chance?

They're not Hell's Angels tough but some of those bosozoku are the real deal and they don't ride scooters. When I was teaching at a high school in Saitama one of the students caught beef with a biker gang and they started harassing the school on a regular basis. A couple of the other male teachers and I tried to catch them when we heard the bikes coming but they were always gone by the time we made it outside. Things came to a head when they hit the student with a car (yes they had one of those cars with a Godfather horn). After that we had a patrol car parked in front of the school all day everyday for a few weeks.

Another one.... 30 mill this time. Besides the fact that having 30 mill in cash available is mind boggling, how the fuck do they get access to it so easily? Did she keep it under the bed? If she went to the bank, surely the bank would at least question the withdrawals?

Banks do have policies of questioning any withdrawl of over a million yen here especially from addled old people. In this case, I gather the women had it squrreled away in her closet.

Well, I guess this fraud does stimulate the economy...

In the 5.5M OP case I pointed out, the woman lied when asked so that she could protect her son. So instead of saying that it was to bail out a son who had committed a fraud on his company, she said that it was to remodel her home. The Post Office bought that reason.

A friend here tried to send 7mln yen back home to buy his sister's half of their cottage and it took hours at the bank apparently as they needed to do it to make sure he wasn't laundering money. The ironic thing is that he doesn't look like a dealer at all (imagine some guy in his 60s).
