050-3107-5405 is reported as an automated-voice call posing as an election survey. It opens with "We are calling at random" and asks you to enter your postal code. Calls have been reported across Japan, including Mie and Kagoshima prefectures.
Reported tactics
- An automated voice announces, "This is an election survey. We are calling at random"
- You're asked to enter your postal code via the keypad
- After entering, follow-up questions about preferred party or voting plans may continue
- Calls have been reported across the country (Mie, Kagoshima, etc.), suggesting high-volume auto-dialing
Legitimate opinion surveys normally identify the conducting organization (newspaper, broadcaster, research firm). Don't respond to automated-voice surveys whose sponsor is unclear.
