OSAKA (TR) – With fraud carried out via the telephone remaining an issue across the prefecture, police have enlisted the help of two members of popular idol group NMB48 for assistance, reports the
Sankei Shimbun (Dec. 14).
On Monday, Karin Kojima, 21, and Nagisa Shibuya, 24, received a certificate commemorating their participation in reducing crimes referred to as
tokushu sagi, or special fraud.
“I heard that many of [special fraud] victims are of the same generation as my grandparents,” said Kojima. Shibuya added, “I don’t think we should forgive [the perpetrators] of sneaky crimes like special fraud.”
