Mega Solar Swindle in Ushiku, Ibaraki

A woman in her 50's was swindled and lost 10 million JPY in Ushiku city of Ibaraki prefecture.

In late March she received a phone call and then a brochure about a mega-solar investment from an alleged trading company employee.

The woman applied for the investment, when she got another phone call from an alleged investment company.

The second man said the woman was taking risk of a "double investment" and that she had to transfer money as soon as possible.

She canceled a time deposit and send the money via parcel delivery service.
