【NHK Live Appearance】Addressing the Rising Threat of Payment App Refund Scams: Daichi Law Office Representative Attorney to Appear on NHK

The prevalence of 'refund scams,' where perpetrators pose as online merchants offering refunds or side-hustle rewards to exploit QR code payment apps, is increasing significantly.

Amid rising reports to the National Consumer Affairs Center, Attorney Daichi Sakuma of Daichi Law Office (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) will appear as an expert on the live NHK program 'Asa-ichi' on Thursday, June 11, 2026.

During the program, he will explain sophisticated new tactics, including those involving screen sharing, the psychological traps victims fall into, and the limitations of current investigation and legal procedures.

Daichi Law Office receives numerous consultations regarding fraud initiated via social media or internet exchanges, leading to cash transfers via common payment apps. Because fraud methods are becoming more complex and accelerated, and recovery is extremely difficult once a victim loses money, public awareness is essential for prevention.

Attorney Sakuma emphasizes, "In modern fraud, it is extremely difficult to recover money once a loss occurs. The best defense is to have the knowledge to avoid being deceived and to recognize the threat at the very beginning." He aims to contribute his legal expertise to protect society.
