What Pausier can help with
Pausier can help you pause, review pressure signs, avoid risky actions, and verify through official or trusted routes before acting.
Country overview
Japan
Local scam-pressure notes, official support routes where verified, reviewed alerts, and local stories are shown only where Pausier has existing reviewed data.
What Pausier cannot do
Pausier cannot confirm whether something is safe or unsafe, recover money, contact authorities, replace official reporting, or guarantee an outcome.
Local context
Support routes and alerts are shown where they exist in Pausier's reviewed data. If review is missing, Pausier shows fallback guidance instead of inventing links.

Report fraud/cybercrime
Review National Police Agency phishing guidance
Japan's National Police Agency explains how to report phishing sites and consult police if a phishing incident has occurred.
Use the National Police Agency cyber consultation routes
The National Police Agency cyber bureau lists online consultation routes and prefectural police contacts for cyber incidents.
Keep evidence
Keep screenshots, message text, timestamps, sender details, payment references, and any case numbers.
Use official channels you already trust, such as the organisation's official website, app, card number, or local authority website.
Do not use links, numbers, or contact details supplied by the suspicious message or caller.
If money may be at risk, contact your bank or payment provider first using an official route you already trust.
If there is immediate danger, use local emergency services or a trusted local authority route.
Official alerts
Official alerts for Japan
