Osaka, Japan is set to implement a new rule that will prohibit elderly individuals from using ATMs while on phone calls in an effort to combat the increasing number of fraud cases targeting older adults. Scammers frequently pose as family members or officials to deceive victims into withdrawing money. The law, scheduled to take effect in August, aims to protect vulnerable individuals from falling victim to such schemes. ATM operators will be required to notify users about the ban to ensure compliance with the regulation. This measure is expected to safeguard the elderly population in Osaka from financial exploitation and enhance their security when conducting banking transactions.
