Basic Information

Mobile phone (080)

Number overview

080-2653-2405 is used in a scam that impersonates Yokohama City's living-support coupon and sends fake SMS messages reading "the application deadline for your flat-rate benefit is today." The hallmark is timing the SMS right after the legitimate paper notice arrives.

Reported tactics

  • The sender impersonates a municipal living-support benefit and texts SMS messages
  • The message manufactures urgency with "application deadline today" to lure taps on the link
  • The SMS arrives right after the genuine paper notice, making it look authentic
  • Calls from the same number are also placed, leaving voicemails

Municipalities do not announce benefit applications by SMS. Genuine notices are delivered in writing (postcard or sealed mail).

How to handle this

Don't open the SMS link

Never tap a link in any SMS claiming to be about a benefit.

Verify with your municipality

If you want to check on a benefit, contact your local government office directly.

Where to report or get help

  • Police consultation line: #9110
  • Your local government office
