Deposits or transfers to online casinos, sports betting services, or overseas gambling websites

*Use of these from Japan are illegal.

Requests for payment accompanied by explanations such as “it’s legal,” “it’s an overseas site,” or “Japanese-language support is available” may indicate fraud or involvement in illegal activity.

• to resolve an immigration matter
• to pay for something in response to a telemarketing call (US only). Telemarketers cannot sell you anything and take payment by money transfer from anyone in the US. This is illegal activity!

✓ Never share the transaction reference number or recipient details to anyone other than the intended recipient!
