A suspicious text email claiming to be from “Colleen from the sales department of YouTube Inc.” has been sent to many users for several days now.
The content is that if you add the listed LINE ID, you will be paid a large amount of money for simple work from home.
Check the content of the short email and invite it to be added to LINE
The contents of the short email that I received are as follows.
For iPhone users
We apologize for the inconvenience. My name is Colleen from the sales department at YouTube.
We offer you the opportunity to participate in work from home using your smartphone. In that case, we will pay you a compensation of 10,000 to 20,000 yen per day.
If you are interested in more information, please add us to LINE ID: XXXX.
The LINE ID listed in this short email appears to be different depending on the recipient.
“Different accounts for each recipient @icloud.com” will be displayed as the sender address of the short email.
Naturally, this is thought to be a scam using LINE, which the Metropolitan Police Department’s Community Safety Department has warned about.
