In 2016, the total number of reported special fraud cases exceeded 14,000 and is on an upward trend. While the total amount of damages decreased from the previous year, it remained at a high level exceeding 40 billion yen for the fourth consecutive year.
The "I'm me" scam, where perpetrators call elderly victims pretending to be their son or grandson to trick them into handing over cash, currently accounts for the highest number of cases and the largest amount of money lost.
Meanwhile, about 80% of people believe they "won't be deceived," and few discuss specific countermeasures against special fraud, indicating insufficient household preparedness.

Government public relations campaigns have previously focused on encouraging "more parent-child conversations" and "strengthening community watch," but this time, as a step forward, they released a web video promoting the idea that a "promise" made in advance with family members can be a powerful preventative measure when a suspicious call comes in.

Under the concept "Family promises protect families," the video features the comedy duo ANZEN Manzai. In the video, Miyazon, playing a devoted son, successfully fends off a scam call from Arapon, playing the scammer, thanks to a specific "promise" he made with his mother back home.
Miyazon, popular for his natural and innocent charm, perfectly embodies the role of the kind son.

Starting December 15th, a 30-second digest version of the video will air as a TV commercial.
