These are sites that have absolutely no connection to our company. If you use such fake sites, you may suffer damage such as the fraudulent acquisition or leakage of your personal information, non-delivery of products even after payment, or the sending of counterfeit products.

Please be careful not to access such fake sites and refrain from placing orders, registering personal information, or making transfers. If you come across such sites or advertisements, please help us by reporting them.


The following is an excerpt from the Consumer Affairs Agency's page warning against fake hometown tax donation sites.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It has been discovered that several fake websites have been set up posing as hometown tax donation sites run by local governments.

Be careful with words like "discount" and "bargain."
Also, if you use a different reception site than usual, make sure the transfer destination is designated by the local government and is not in the name of an individual.

Each local government has designated an online hometown tax donation acceptance website.

If you have any concerns, please check with the local government to which you are donating.

Please be careful of sites with the following structure:

- The address, contact information, email address, etc. of the local government organization is not included.
・The company address, phone number, and email address are not included. (Be careful if you use a free email address!)
- If the payment method is bank transfer, the account holder's name and the name of the seller are different.
・The campaign advertises that it will offer a discount on the donation amount or a price reduction. (*)
*Local governments that receive hometown tax donations may send gifts in return, but they will not discount or discount the donation amount.
