Upcoming Online Seminar on Revisions to Mobile Phone Fraud Prevention Law

On June 25, 2024, from 14:00 to 14:45 JST, Showcase Inc., a company specializing in DX cloud services that connect businesses and customers, will host an informative online seminar titled "What Measures Should Be Taken for the Revision of the Mobile Phone Fraud Prevention Law?". This seminar aims to explain the key points of the revisions to the law and discuss the necessary measures that companies should adopt in anticipation of its enforcement in 2026.

Background of the Law Revision

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in telephone scams, with a notable number of cases involving fraudulently signed mobile phone contracts using cleverly forged identity verification documents. In response to this rising issue, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has revised the Mobile Phone Fraud Prevention Law, with a new set of regulations expected to come into effect on April 1, 2026. These revisions will impose stricter identity verification procedures for non-face-to-face mobile phone contracts.

The seminar will specifically detail how the law will change and what businesses need to prepare. For operators who have questions such as, “What kind of revisions are being made?” and “What actions are required?”, this seminar is designed to provide valuable insights to assist in their future preparations.
