Chiyoda Ward officials on Friday appointed "talent" Megumi Yasu their "Commanding Officer of Fraud Prevention" for a day.
Yasu, 30, was appointed to draw shoppers' attention to the fact that bank transfer scams are still rife in Japan. According to police, despite notices on ATMs, high-profile news stories and repeated warning, there has been an explosion in the number of cases of elderly people transfering or posting money to people posing as their relatives, Sankei Shimbun reported.
Yasu urged shoppers to agree on passwords with their relatives and to keep in regular contact in an attempt to prevent such scams in the future.

She's hot.
She'll get my attention with her sweet smile and beautiful body.
Is that what is necessary to protect me from bank-transfer fraud??

I believe her personal and intimate guidance will protect me from this peril.

quite the opposite, we guys should not fall for attractive con-artists that look like her.

Yasu had very pleasant face and an unusually zaftig body for a Japanese model. Good to see she is aging well.
