Chinese Women Arrested in Fukushima for Fraudulent Electronic Payments

The Fukushima Prefectural Police at Futaba Police Station arrested two Chinese women on the 6th for allegedly unlawfully using someone else's account to access the electronic payment service "auPAY".

Two suspects, Wang Shuting (30) and Li Qiuyan (48), who reside in Aichi prefecture, have been arrested on suspicion of fraud. They are accused of using auPAY to cheat victims out of 6,880 yen on cigarette purchases. A victim whose account was misused filed a report of losses. This marks the first arrest in Fukushima prefecture for auPAY misuse.

It is reported that many confirmed losses across the country have been cases where users were redirected to fake websites after receiving notifications such as "Important Information from AU" on their smartphones.
